Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.D. J. Boorstin

First off, I'm a Second Life addict...oh wait, wrong blog. "That's interesting, but how doeswould this fit into a discussion on sex?" On the surface, that's a reasonable question. Out of curiosity, I decided to run a few simple comparisons between sex work in real and virtual life.

• Is being an escort a viable employment option (in both RL & SL)?

Depending on several factors in RL--location, background, physical appearance, experience--escorting can provide anywhere from a few $L for the latest fashion collection in SL to several thousand $USD for those in the RL business.

 Of all the types of work offered in Second Life, those concerning sex work such as escorts, dancers, sexually explicit toys and clothing makers, and animation designers appear to be the most prolific  as well as some of the most profitable means of employment.
