Virtual Escorting .. work from your Pc.. Over 18s only
Comments

The press would love this thread from any number of angles.
..... "Martin Lewis Exposed As A The Virtual Pimp" or maybe ..... "Credit Crunch Forces Desperate Housewives On The Virtual Game" ..... And how is Martin goiing to cover this in Martins Money Tips?
Anyway, all joking aside, this question is for all the virtual call girls. As I understand it, the REAL money initially spoken about amounts to a virtual sum of money that equates to approx £3 a trick, which again as I understand it equates to 20 minutes work?
Assuming I have the maths right, how many tricks does a virtual call girl expect to turn in say a four hour shift and thus how much money do they expect to make?
It's just that I don't see it being a viable income for anyone?

Of course not. But children who can sort out a means of recovering the money would find it attractive as an apparently risk-free source of additional pocket money. Is the penny dropping yet? Mr Watkins, above, admits that children can get round age restrictions.0 -
That makes it more attractive to a child as a financial proposition than an adult.
Since you obviously have no idea about the exchange rate of lindens to pounds, and no idea about what you can actually do with lindens once you have them, and probably no idea how to even sign in to Second Life, then this comment is merely nothing more than over-exaggeration based on an opinion, so therefore irrelevant.I still don't care what you think and I really don't care if you want to characterise me as a "troll." I've been here long enough to be credible when I express an opinion.
you are as welcome to your opinion as I am to mine, however when you deliberately avoid answering questions and over exaggerate to state your point, you come across as a troll.That was helpful.
I'm so glad.What I fundamentally object to is anything that encourages people to get into any aspect of the commercial sex industry
At least your agenda is now clear.and that includes your original post.
and you continue to comment on something which you clearly have no knowledge of.
I'll say it again - Second Life has nothing to do with the "commercial sex industry". It is a computer simulation of real life. Sex, believe it or not, is part of real life. So, by definition, sex is part of second life. It is categorically not the sole purpose of second life and it never will be. It is as much a part of second life as sex chat is in any random chatroom you may go in to.Exploiting people sexually in any way is corrupting and anyone who does anything to encourage it is complicit.
In that we are in agreement.You are actively promoting a way in.
If your assumption that Second Life is the commercial sex industry was true then this statement may well have some truth in it. Your assumption is just that - an assumption. It is completely wrong, therefore this statement is also completely wrong.That makes you a pimp in my view.
Again with the insults.the poster who has had a go at me
meaning me, I assume. I have not "had a go" at you - you were the one who initially posted an overly abusive and insulting message aimed at mandi. You are the one who has continually insulted both me and mandi.is benefiting financially or otherwise from the "service" you are offering. You are promoting and essentially recruiting people into this work
I'll say it once again. There is no work here. There is no job. There is no service. There is nothing on offer here that would meet the dictionary definition of a job. Nothing. What part of that do you fail to understand ?
The "saucy new job" thread actively promotes actual work in the commercial sex industry. It provides links for information on obtaining work in the commercial sex industry. It features people discussing working in the commercial sex industry. Yet you continue to conveniently ignore that to continue your attacks on Mandi for merely posting nothing more than a suggestion.Mr Watkins, above, admits that children can get round age restrictions.
And you don't ?You and others object to the forthright way I have chosen to express myself.
I object to your continued insulting tone towards mandi and myself. I have no issue with anyone who argues their opinion vigourously - i respect it.
If you object to the commercial sex industry as a whole and you support censorship of explicit materials then fine, I understand and accept that and I will walk away. If you continue to misinterpret and misrepresent what Mandi has posted then I will simply continue to challenge you on it.0 -

however, i did advise her that her initial idea probably wouldn't work and to look at it differently, so that may well be what she's doing.
her initial idea was to basically introduce people to second life and point them in the direction of being a virtual escort - it wasn't a job in the traditional sense, more like a case of "ok, this is what you can do off you go and do it".
i told her that, for a lot of people, that wouldn't really work because it would involve a lot of legwork as you'd essentially be joining second life and trying to get a job as a virtual escort.
i suggested to her that she take it one step further and start her own business offering the escort service as it would be easier for people new to second life, as they'd start off with a defined base of operations.
so this may well be what she's looking in to - although don't quote me on that
the last time i actually used the linden exchange when i used second life, £5 bought you around 5,000 linden dollars.
(Linden dollars are the virtual currency in the game in case you wondered)
so if you reverse that, and think that you need to earn 5,000 lindens to cash out £5 then you'd get a rough sense of how you'd earn the money and how much you'd need.
hope that helps
You did suggest to Mandi that a job was there should she chose to go that route, I believe she said she didn't want to but please don't go saying that there is no job when you clearly stated there is.0 -

I most certainly did not "clearly state there is", so please kindly do not put words into my mouth (or at the end of my fingers to be more precise)
The quote you are highlighting from me is a suggestion I made to mandi about starting a virtual escort business in second life. This categorically does not mean there is a job there - which is dustangle's assertion. He continues to believe that mandi and i guess, to an extent, me are actively seeking to recruit people to work in the commercial sex industry. This is completely false and misrepresentative.Tojo_Ralph wrote: »but the sole purpose of this thread is to assist people to join second life to work as virtual hookers
I have to disagree - the point of the thread was to suggest virtual escorting as a potential source of income. If you read my post quoted by edinburghlass, I do actually point out that mandi's idea was to introduce people to second life and point them in the direction of being a virtual escort - not to actively sign them up and send them out to some random virtual street corner.
i've just re-read the whole thread and nobody has actively tried to help anyone to join second life with the sole purpose of becoming an escort.
mandi has replied to the questions she's been asked with the information at her disposal. I've also chipped in based upon my experience in using second life, which includes my experience of the virtual escort service that people do provide there.
if you can find any suggestion that either myself or mandi, or anyone else for that matter, has actively tried to encourage people to join second life to become virtual escorts then please do show me.0 -

I believe that Mandi is offering a service of information about getting into provision of commercial sex services, from which Mandi may or may not derive a financial or other benefit now or in the future. That's recruiting.
I don't know what you're up to.0 -

I wondered if anyone would be intrested in Virtual Escorting . It can be very lucrative..... I dont think that everyone understands that REAL money can be made..... for a new user escorting is quite an easy job to get..... To be an escort you need skin, shape, hair, a walking animation. Dont let this put you off, Ok .. It might seem difficult but you will soon get the hang of it
. Once youve joined then I, can tell you where to get the skin shape etc, still free.
Now..... I don't know what you call encouraging someone, but if I were to talk to a good friends daughter, if I were to make her aware of a brothel nearby, if I were to ask her if she was interested in becoming a prostitute, if I were to tell her how lucrative being a prostitute was, if I were to tell her exactly what she needed to do to become a prostitute, if I were to tell her that once she had become a prostitute she could come to me for advise...... Do you think that maybe, just maybe, my good friend just might have the right to accuse me of encouraging his daughter to become a prostitute. :rolleyes:The MSE Dictionary
