Horny Homeless

I really hope Lysol is effective on pixel germs.

I have had it up to here with the horny homeless in Second Life.

Today, two people invaded a Starting Point resident's private room and were caught having sex on her bed. Our resident was upset, to say the least. The two trespassers would not stop what they were doing or leave when she asked. And I felt terrible that I could not get in-world to help.

It is bad enough that this sort of thing has happened before in Jerremy's and my home. It has happened in the apartments we are building and furnishing. And it recently happened (very weirdly) at the villas we are building.

Here is what happened at the villas: I noticed a naked man, with an erection and surrounded by pose balls, standing in the penthouse. After checking to make sure it wasn't Jerremy (I AM JUST KIDDING!), I told him to leave. He demanded that I wait a minute. Oh, really? Eject! Ban! Then, he had the nerve to call me a See You Next Tuesday* because I didn't let him "finish." (Dear God, I hope that did not mean what I think it does.) What really amuses me is that he went on and on in IM about how if he knew I was going to be, "such a bitch about it," he would not have used our villas in the first place. Ummm....excuse me? Do me a favor - next time, assume I am going to be a bitch and find somewhere else for your nastiness. (Yes, I waited to mute him. Sometimes it is fun to "poke the crazy," if you know what I mean.)

Now, I am no prude. Nor am I naive. I know where prim babies come from! It isn't like there aren't a gazillion legitimate places in SL to have sex. It is not necessary to commit a B&E to get nookie. In fact, let's have a little brainstorming session and list places you can have sex if you do not have a place of your own, shall we?:
  • Free sex clubs/rooms (There must be 100,00 of these in SL.)
  • The Bedrock sim (I was as surprised as you are. Sigh.)
  • Hotels
  • Rent-by-the-hour Fantasy Suites
  • Fetish clubs
Interestingly, neither my home nor Starting Point appear in the list. And look at that - no one else's homes/apartments/skyboxes are on the list either.

"So, are we gonna do it or what?"
(I never meant to have two posts with caveman themed pictures in a row. We were scouting photo locations for my last post - the Time Traveler challenge - when I took this one. There are a lot of, ummm, hidden rooms and things here in Bedrock.)

Alicia Chenaux wrote about this topic very eloquently earlier this week when she found squatters living on her island.

Ironically, the two trespassers at Starting Point are newbies (~ 2 months old): they would have eligible to move into their own private rooms, where they could have all of the sex they wanted.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have some decontamination to do at the Starting Point.

*Slang for the c-word. I didn't want to quote him directly.

  1. When they're new, sometimes I understand that they don't quite GET that this isn't allowable. But after a month in, you kinda know [or should] that hey, that house isn't yours. That land isn't yours. So put your penis away, because no one wants to see it.

    My squatters never did IM me. I almost wish they would have so I could have yelled at them!

  3. if you sign up for sl without reading any of the tutorials or any blogs etc, you can be totally clueless about the concept of private land, owned land etc, and have the attitude of, well if I am here, i must be allowed to be here..sorta thing.. Im not excusing it, just saying from another point of view.. many sl'ers play without sl knowledge

  4. Thank you so much for commenting!

    I promise that I am not a mean person! I try to have mercy on new residents as much as I can. The people who were caught at Starting Point were 2 months old and must have known the trick of camming into a room to get access to a locked area.

    However - you are right that some people do not understand the concept of "virtual" private property. Maybe this is an opportunity for me to help both older and newer residents with a sign explaining that while people are welcome on the property, the rooms are off limits and this is why, etc.

    Thank you all for weighing in!

    Madame - your response cracked me up!

  5. which is why I now live on a private island that requires being invited to a group before you can be on it. I mean, I'm not saying you should do that but you are more patient and less homicidal than I. :)

    I tried to be a patient and understanding person when I found people in my bed, shower, couch, roof... but when they were rude or demanded that *I* leave, that was too much.

    It reminds me of the time the phone company made a mistake and didn't cancel the connection to my old apartment. While I was moving, I had the phone connected in two places - party line style. I finished moving and called them to disconnect at the other place, but they didn't. Anyway, I went to make a call and someone was on the line. I was like hello, what are you doing talking on my line? He seemed slightly surprised but he says something like, I'm on the phone with an important call, LONG DISTANCE, I'll be off in about 10 minutes and then you can use the phone. I was like, excuse me? This is MY phone, I'm paying the bill and you're going to hang up right now so I can call the phone company and have this fixed. But I couldn't believe the gall of him to tell me that I could use my phone in 10 minutes when he was done.

    I'd like to be kind enough to give people the benefit of a doubt, but people know what they can and can't do. I know of so many griefer, squatter types in SL that think it's funny to use other people's things to have sex. I will excuse maybe a small number, but the vast majority know better.

  7. We get this a lot in the homes of our residents. Perhaps there's a general concensus that those who pay to have their own homes in SL often have the best poseballs??

    When I found someone having some pixel fun in my place, I simply advised him that he really ought to get genitals better suited to his skin tone. I think I scared him enough in my observation to leave of his own accord.

  8. Angel- Ha! I am not homicidal...yet! LOL!

    Morrighan - my mouth is still dropped open at your story!

    Josue - ROFL! OMG I wish I had been there to say something as clever!
