I often wonder if people understand why I love to use Second Life for My domination. At glance it looks like a game. You have a "character" that you build, just as in any other MMO out there. So it must be a game, right?
Wrong. And many, many people who spend time on Second Life (SL) will get very upset if you call it that.
In a game you have goals. You have the ability to win, or maybe even lose. You have quests. You gain experience/points. There is always something to achieve. Second Life can not be compared to this in any way, shape or form. It's a totally different experience.. Second Life is a virtual world.
What is a virtual world? Well, it's much like the real world...only virtual. It allows one to be able to do things that they are unable to do in real life. Always had a dream home? Wanted a fancy car? It's no problem in a virtual world. In fact, you can get that exact dream house for as low as $10 (or roughly L$2,500). Anything not possible in the real world is 100% achievable in a virtual world.
Some men and women are scared to participate in BDSM in the real world, for whatever reason. Some may be scared it will be too intense. Some may simply be curious, and others may lead high profile lives in which their kinky side being discovered could be detrimental. Second Life also provides these people with a way to live their perfect fantasy lives (even if that does mean forgoing the best designer clothes in SL in favor of practicing CFNM), as well by providing them a safe place where their real identity can be hidden.
But that still doesn't explain why I use Second Life for My domination when Skype allows someone to explore BDSM while still being able to keep it secret. Let Me explain:
In Second Life you have the ability to interact with the world unlike what any game I have ever seen allows you. You can sit on items that have poses, scan through them and select the one you want. All the way from dancing, kissing, cuddling, fucking and eating. You name it, you can do it. Jump rope, skipping, dancing, hopscotch. You can do it all. The possibilities are endless.
This also means that I can whip a submissive. I can crush their balls. I can slap their face. I can sit on them, trample them and anything else that I wish to do with them.
The problem with online domination is that it can be quite impersonal. I can't touch you. I can't interact with you other than telling you what I want you to do for Me and sitting there watching you do it. Distance does not allow you to experience BDSM on the same level that one does in a real life setting.
Second Life breaks the barrier of that distance. And sometimes when a connection between two people is intense enough, it is almost as if you can feel that other person. Add that in with voice in SL or a Skype call and it's significantly better than a voice call by its self.
It allows a submissive to interact with something that I control and represents Me, and allows Me to interact with them on a far more personal level. If you can't come and kneel at My feet in real life, what would the next best thing be? Taking something that represents you and kneeling in front of something that represents Me.
Sure, you can kneel while on a call on Skype with Me, but the mental response to being able to physically SEE it happening is not something that can be done through a webcam. No, it's not as good as the real thing but it's probably the closest you will ever get if you draw a firm line in the sand in regards to meeting in person. And even if you are open to meeting, it's a way to experience it until that meeting.
While quick one offs are fun and exciting, I prefer long term arrangements. Ones where I can form a deep connection with that person. Second Life makes that easier, which helps a submissive open up far more.
Not to mention all of the fun toys that SL has. There are even reviews of those toys here on My blog.
"But what about Findom? I want to make sure You can use the tributes that I send You in the real world", I hear you say. Well, that's simple. I can and do.
Second Life has it's own currency called Linden Dollars (the L$2,500 you saw in regards to the houses you can buy in Second Life) that you can buy. You use them to buy things you want in the world and I'm sure you don't need Me to tell you that is how you get things for your avatar, etc, etc.
Those lindens have to go somewhere and for the one's of us who make a substantial amount of Linden couldn't possibly use all of that money on our avatar. And how many houses does one need in SL? So you cash it out.
I cash it out and from there, direct to My PayPal account and then into My bank account, letting Me get anything My heart desires, same as if you were to tribute outside of SL. Pretty simple. L$261 is $1 USD, so if a good little piggy tributes Me L$20,000 I am able to cash out roughly $75 USD. And so on and so forth.
If you want to get to know Me in Second Life just search for My name: DoveScarlet Resident. And don't worry, just because it's not a game doesn't mean I don't still consider you a loser. You always will be in My eyes.
