So I went back to dominatrix land. The outfits worn here were quite amazing, and inspire me to change my outfit. I’m not quite sure how to find different clothing, but I felt a little out of place. I was an observer in a virtual world, not just observing what was going on from the other side of my computer screen, but I felt like I was observing within the computer screen. I was a bystander, watching theses crazy costumed characters role play. Or were they role playing? Was this really a dominatrix portraying her real self in SL, and were thesse really her subs? Or are these just people who want to experience something like that in a virtual world but wouldn’t dare in the real world?

The language and rules the dominatrix used was what I expected any domme to use. She wouldn’t allow a sub do anything unless she told them too. If they did, they would get a lashing. AND believe it or not, the whip that she had actually made a real sound and actually brought the sub to his knees. (She only had male subs).

Curious, I told her I wanted to learn. She spits back at me some rules of being a dominatrix and told me I had to be serious about it, and the number one rule is: A domme never subs. Fine with me. That whip is s-c-a-r-y. I can already feel myself so involved in SL, that I think a whip is scary. It’s not a real whip; but I’ll be damned if I piss this woman off. I felt bad for the characters that were being whipped. Shouldn’t this occur behind closed doors? I suppose SL is the closed door. And I can only assume that the subs and dommes, and people in this land of scaryness are by themselves on a computer somewhere. I doubt that anyone would want to advertise this kind of abuse. I’m curious to know: Does what is taboo in real life remain taboo in Second Life?
