HEY HEARTUN~

I am a young lesbian in her 20’s. I have only ever been attracted to other women and I admit, I have had many sex partners. I love women. I love having sex with women, as many as I can really but lately there is a man who has caught my attention. I know he likes me but I recently realized that I think I like him too.

First off, it’s a spectrum. Some people come down hard on Infrared or Ultraviolet (or X-ray… or Quark) But most people come down somewhere in between. And even if you’ve always seen yourself as Infrared… a spectral shift could have you feeling a little Indigo.

That’s my take on plain old, real world, sexuality.

Then you get Second Life. To paraphrase Borat “Wah-WEE-woo-wah!”

The very nature of Second Life is to play around with different aspects of yourself. Remember the episode of The Office (U.S. version) where Dwight came into Second Life? He made an avie that looked just like him, had his name, and worked in a replica Dunder Mifflin office. It was a riot, because nobody does that!

It’s scary to explore different parts of the spectrum. Be bold. Be brave. Be kind. And if later you decide that ultraviolet just isn’t your wavelength… be the adult and communicate that well.
