Has it really been over a month since my last post? They say time flies when you’re having fun. That’s not always true. Truth is, my RL has gotten more real of late than even I care to admit, and the time I do have to partake in Second Life, I am trying to make the most of it and enjoy it, not necessarily blog about it.
Nonetheless, my increased time spent having fun has had at least one tremendous benefit. My Family has grown, both in terms of members as well as what I call “Friends of the Family”. The people that walk thru the doorway of our lighthouse and into the hearts of the Brat Pack constantly amaze me. Such love, compassion and warmth, is it no wonder some wish they could permanently relocate to SL?
Sadly this is, of course, impossible and RL must be faced, dealt with, overcome. I don’t offer this as an apology for my delay in entries, rather it is an explanation.
On to the reason for this entry’s title. Sluts v. Subs. Sounds like an interesting match up, does it not?
I recently engaged in a scene in SL, one in which I contemplated taking a submissive position. I’ll pause while everyone exhales from their initial shock. …………. Done? Good.
During the course of this scene, something was said that, while it didn’t ruin the scene per se, it was a distraction in that it caused me to dwell too much on the nature of the statement, rather than rolling along with the spirit of the scene.
“You must be submissive because you seem to be a slut.”
Hmmmm…. Okay, first of all, Yasmin Heartsdale NEVER seems to be a slut. She is one. Lets get that straight right here and now. I didn’t join Second Life to practice molding a prim into a fucking flower. Not that there’s anything wrong with that mind you. There are some really interesting flower makers in SL, I’m just not one of them. For the record, most of these flower makers are also sluts.
It is completely acceptable to be a slut and be quite Dominant, if not *almost* completely Dominant. And before you send me an instant message disagreeing with me Miss *********, stop. You know damn good and well this applies to you as well. Slut.
I suppose the nature of this post is something I’ve known all along, just the statement made, even if in the spirit of roleplay, made me dwell on the topic. And as such, I felt the need to blog about it. There simply is no correlation between sluttiness and submissiveness. Some of SL’s biggest sluts aren’t even into bdsm.
You can be Dominant, and be a slut. You can be submissive, and be a slut. You can build flowers, and be a slut. You can be a Linden, and be a …. Well, perhaps not EVERYone can be a slut. We do have our standards.
On a non-related note, the island of Yasminia, my home in Mozingo Straits, has a new neighbor. One of my dearest friends in SL, Tania Owatatsumi, is relocating her island to be next to mine. Look for it the next time you visit, but understand that since Tania and I are friends, I will be unable to send any rescue parties into her sim after you. Professional courtesy and what not.
Enjoy, live life, even if its your Second Life, and stop by and say hello. I promise to try and have another entry before the end of the year. : )
