Paradise
Sex Beach, where the sand is HOT and the SEX is HOTTER!
Tiff
Aristocrat
After
my first story in this series, Sex and the Single Avatar in Second Life,
a reader, Tiff Aristocrat, (Yes, someone other
than me actually reads my blog!) reached out to me. She wanted to know why I’d talked about sex
resorts in Second Life (SL) but had neglected to mention her sim, Paradise
Sex Beach which is one of the more popular sites inworld.
My
reason cum excuse was that the references in that story had been received by
word of mouth and like most things associated with this blog had been done in a
totally unscientific manner. So taking advantage
of the situation, I asked Tiff for an interview concerning Paradise Sex Beach
to which she readily agreed. We
scheduled a meeting for an in depth look at Tiff’s sim.
For
those of you who may be joining late, I’m a writer and explorer in SL. I write about my travels across the grid and
the people I meet and the experiences I have. (Usually with me in some
embarrassing or ridiculous situation.)
My Real Life (RL) Significant Other greatly appreciates the anonymity of
SL, less explaining to family and friends.)
This story is the second in my series, Sex and the Single Avatar in Second Life, where I explore human
sexuality in SL which I’m finding is something of a growth industry
inworld. I’m also finding that there’s a
lot going on with the emotional side as well.
I’ll blog more about that in the future.
I
strive for standards, nothing tawdry or lascivious. There’s always Literotica for that.
I always quote my friend, Glorf Bulmer, as she would say,
this won’t become that kind of blog.
Me? I want to be informative and
humorous and I always keep Bette Davis’ words in mind when writing in this
series, “Sex is God’s joke on human beings.”
Now back to Tiff. I teleport to Paradise Sex Beach (PSB) to
meet for our interview. Now, in
preparing to meet her, I had to resolve one issue. PSB’s dress code is either nude or swim
suit. How does one go? Nudity and I are no longer strangers inworld but the places
I go are usually nude only.
So, what do I do? I go nude.
I was already nude and I’m supposed to be having new experiences
right? I’m relieved to see that Tiff
rezzes in nude as well. (Please no
comments about my being sexist.) I
comment on our joint state of undress.
Tiff says she’s too lazy to dress despite having a ton of beautiful
clothes. She claims au natural is always
the best way. (Which given the line of
work she’s in is a very appropriate philosophy.) We get down to the interview.
I ask Tiff what caused her to
establish PSB. She replies that there
used to be a favorite sex beach of hers that she had visited all the time. It was a really nice beach with really nice
people. Unfortunately, it closed and she
missed it “soooooo” very much. The owner
kept saying that she would reopen it but after three months nothing had
happened.
Tiff then decided to open a sex beach
of her own. After all, she knew how to
run a business in SL and could do this.
So, she rented the sim, landscaped it, and had it open in two days.
Tiff describes PSB as one of the nicer
beaches in SL with almost zero lag.
Several people just come for the beaches and aren’t interested in the
sex. (I sense another story with these
people.) They also come for the other
people visiting the beach. (Who just happen to be nude and act like
adults.)
I ask why nudity is optional at PSB
unlike most other sex beaches and resorts.
Tiff explains that she wants people to feel comfortable. If they’re comfy wearing clothes then great,
if they’re comfy being in the buff then great too.
My next question is about how much of
PSB is about her and her own lifestyle.
She laughingly replies that she doesn’t get to spend much time on the
beach herself so she lets her partner play.
Her only goal for PSB is for people to come and enjoy themselves and
feel safe while they’re there.
I want to know what happens at
PSB. Do people just come to the beach
for some sun and maybe a little fun with someone else? Tiff responds that sometimes people come and
gather in the bar area, or the swim area (PSB has a big area for swimming), or
some come to have great sex. Tiff adds
that she’s a DJ too and will throw down the stream every once in a while.
Tiff then takes a breath and then
continues saying that’s not the reason why they come, many come just to relax
because they feel safe and are not bothered.
Tiff explains PSB’s popularity. First, they are very friendly. People actually talk to one another. In my own experience, people respond when I
greet them (No sarcasm please.) and many others just say hi as I pass by. Second, PSB has “very, very” little lag. Which, I can also attest to.
This subject of lag is important
because I know of some other very nice sims, which will remain nameless for
now, where lag is a killer and an enjoyable experience can’t be had. Tiff says that she does everything in her
power to keep the lag monster at bay which isn’t easy. She doesn’t have vendors and
commercialization and doesn’t even have advertisements for her own
products.
I find Tiff’s approach also
contributes to the very peaceful island paradise look and feel of PSB. Palm trees and other tropical like plants
cover the sand dunes which form the basis of PSB. Waves crash on the beaches. Except for a few instructional signs around
the landing zone, PSB is commercial free.
What one sees that is not natural are furnishings and devices located
for the pleasure and enjoyment of visitors.
(You’ll have to come over and visit for yourself to see how it all
works.)
I’m curious about Tiff’s earlier comments about PSB being one of the most popular sex beaches in SL. She explains that in SL searches for sex beaches PSB typically comes in among the top three. Tiff is especially proud that PSB while only being a homestead sim beats out most full sims. This is quite an achievement and Tiff can be justly proud of it.
Tiff goes to tell me that PSB
typically earns enough in a month to make their fees and a little over. Not a lot she adds but it’s still over. This is another achievement. I haven’t met any sims in SL until now where
this is the case. This past summer was
hard but PSB is back on track.
I next ask about the sense of
community among Tiff’s guests. Do they
view themselves as belonging to a community or are they just individuals who
enjoy the beach? Tiff replies that it
depends on whom you talk to. I ask if
visitors feel they are nudists at a naturist resort. Some do, she says, and some get mad when others
wear clothes but are told that people are allowed to do what makes them feel
comfortable here. Apparently, there has
even been a PSB wedding for two guests who met there.
When I inquire her plans for the
future, Tiff says she wants to keep up to date with beds and animations (I hope
I don’t have to explain this to anyone.) She tries to meet her guests’
requests. There is a bucking bull,
floaties at the swim beach, a dolphin, and an air hockey table. Not exactly what one would normally expect to
find at a sex beach but Tiff seems to be all about customer satisfaction.
That being said, Tiff and PSB do have
rules. Escorts are not permitted to
solicit. She is also very strict about
banning children and childlike avatars.
Other than that, the rules are “very short and sweet” as she puts it and
are really common sense.
Since we’re talking about customer
service, I ask Tiff about PSB’s VIP Club.
She explains that the Club is for those who wish to enjoy PSB without
the eyes of the beach on them. (In case,
anyone hasn’t figured it out yet, walking around PSB can come across couples,
or various-somes, engaged in flagrante
delicto. I guess those looking may
be considered voyeurs?)
Membership involves a onetime fee of 501L. Belonging entitles members access to three
private themed rooms. Members can also
bring non-members with them which is unusual for such places inworld. The themes are a hot tub room, a BDSM room,
and a porn room. Tiff takes me to see
the hot tub room (BTW, the only hot tub in PSB) and to the BDSM room. (With all the blogging on this subject I
just had to look!) The rooms are well
appointed and show off Tiff’s love of textures.
Both rooms have beds. The BDSM
room contains a wall rack and a pole. Tiff
points out the intan in both rooms which contains over 170 animations that
permit couples using its pose balls to go from dancing to sex wherever they may
be on PSB.
We don’t visit the porn room as time is starting to run out. Tiff tells me it only contains a TV with access to over 5,000 porn movies and a few rugs. (Just the basics.)
Tiff has one last place to show me,
PSB’s secret spot. It’s really not such
a secret. Visitors can teleport to it
form the landing zone. Tiff says it’s
more out of the way than a secret and all visitors can access it. We teleport there and I find myself under the
sea. Tiff shows me a carpet on the
seabed called tenderlove. She says it’s
one of the most realistic animations in SL with transitions and everything else
that a couple might need for a private and intimate moment away from prying
eyes. I won’t say anymore but recommend
a visit.
I learn that Tiff has done all the
building herself. She also makes tattoos and jewelry. Her work can be found in Marketplace. Her portfolio is extensive and of very high
quality. I recommend all to visit PSB
and see it for themselves. (Since swim
suits can be worn, no one should have any objections to visiting. Just avert your eyes if you see things going
on that you think should be better left in the bedroom.)
I thank Tiff for her time and hospitality
and take my leave. I enjoyed my visit
and I learned much.
PSB offers several advantages. First, membership is not required. Second, nudity is optional (for the
bashful). Finally, lag is
nonexistent. (I’ll stick my neck out on
this one.) The only difficulty is that
PSB is popular and sometimes is full.
Just be patient and retry. (VIP
Club membership can get members into the private rooms if they’re not in
use.) It’s worth the wait. Whether for the scripts and builds, the
people, or the social activities, PSB is well worth the time and effort to go
and explore. You won’t regret it!
In future stories in this series, I’ll
continue to write about these different aspects of human sexuality in SL. And, yes, I do mean human because as many
continually remind inworld there’s a real person with real feelings behind that
avatar we’re interacting with.
I welcome anyone who would like to
share their experiences or opinions of SL sexuality with me. I’d like to include these in my future
stories in this series. I look forward
to hearing from you!
As always, I’m grateful to all for their
kindness and time in stopping to talk with a stranger who was passing through
their lives.
Below are a few pictures of the places in PSB
that I visited for this story. And, no,
there is neither nudity nor activity of a sexual nature contained therein. If you want to see that then you’ll have to
go there yourself!
