      On a side note I was VERY disappointed when I found several Sex oriented rooms. Google has always been very good at protecting their users in youtube, picasa, and any other service they provide. This time they let the ball drop.

      Good to see someone who knows they are in dire need of being protected from, gasp, sex!

      It could be a good thing if it was an antimatter copy of Second Life, which was then brought into contact with the original Second Life.

    Not if the couple is married!

    I've wondered if there could be a market for "Christian porn" that addresses all the issues they have with it.

    1) Depict married couples in racey and stimulating scenes.
    2) Provide a system that ensures that the actors are not exploited.
    3) ???
    4) Profit!!!

    Only if the pr0n was starring the watcher's neighbors.
    As in: 'Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife."

    Which opens up the wives to be able to freely covet husbands whether they were neighbors or not. Also the field would be wide open to pr0n that featured married male gay pr0n, since nobody's wife was involved being coveted. It can get sticky from there. ;-)
