This seems to be an on going theme: As quoted from Webster-Merriam's online dictionary, Sexuality is defined as... :the quality or state of being sexual: a: the condition of having sex b: sexual activity c: expression of sexual receptivity or interest especially when excessive.
I don't know where to truly start. There was no sexual activity, as far I could see on Second Life. Just places I was blocked from because somehow I neglected to state my age. As I wrote in a previous blog, I already stated my age, b/c they require you put in your date of birth. But I have to log in to their site to see what I must do. At this point, if I am going to continue I really need to see how sexual the adult aspect is. But pack on topic, there wasn't anyone that was receptive to my advances. I mean I blew kisses. I wore tight or form fitting closes. I even went as far to ask where could I "get it in" at. But there was nothing.
As a online person, visually and the way I presented myself I feel I expressed my "sexuality" as a black woman.
Yet my concern is that I have yet to make a connection on here. I'm not trying to make light of the fact that many people go online to find hookups, the discrete relationship of casual sex, or for this whole new world of cybersex. I mean when I think of sex online I think of the chat rooms where people go and let their minds run wild. In my observations outside this project, I have notice a culture of people online that truly find their identities through social networks - networking and adult. A place where you don't have to show your face to be popular, in some cases it can be the genitals or an avatar. What astounds me is the amount of site modeled after facebook and myspace that cater to sex. But to get back on subject, I would like to say that all the hype I've heard about what you can do on Second Life intrigues me and kind of led way for the creation of Salika, the wondering black mistress, Sex goddess, loved by all, lol.
My question(s) to whomever read this is...
What do you consider as Sexuality? Does the way you act on line in virtual worlds or social networks truly reflect you? Is it something that becomes apart of you? And how does this second identity or sexuality effect your everyday life?
these questions almost appear to overlap with questions on identity. interesting that maybe we can't separate identity with sexuality.
