L&R June Magazine 2017

Evolution of D/s in SL over the years from my point of view and is not necessarily the
view of the editor or others concerned. Remember the days where words more than
pose balls meant something. Jumping on pose ball to find yourself upside down or
sideways. Remember how expressive and detailed words had become instead of
jumping on that dreaded pose ball. Curious that as a whole the SL world choose pink
and blue as the colours with all the possibilities that became the unwritten standard even
today. . Remember when thought and due diligence were part of the scheme instead of
equipment poses and actions. You had to plan ahead to the scene and set up carefully.
If was like a finely drafted recipe.
Of course, I would not be straight forward if I did not admit I have fell victim to those
things as well. Let’s face it as new builders and script writers dive deeper in the
perfection of those items you have more realistic and detailed items. Personally, I do not
care too deeply for the old stuff and the newer things are better but lack that connection
you had years ago with finely drafted words. Being that I
am no English major or even all that great at description
these items became a relief of sorts and a curse at the
same time.
On the harder side of BDSM the equipment is becoming
even more extreme and the mild is nothing more than
vanilla. Depending on your flavour of experience's your
D/s can be full of well crafted recipes for excitement. .
Realising that in SL we are able to do things that we
could never do in real life and is quite illegal in most
places. However, all that said those things have allowed
everyone to explore themselves and others.
With in the last few weeks a friend of mine has totally
rebuilt her sim to resemble a Castle. Castle Rookswood
(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neomah/28/122/22 ) has several dozen
possibility you can try before you buy for your own sim. The sim was re-created to bring
back the RP side and has equipment new and old hidden here and there. As you tour
the castle rooms and there are lots of rooms you start to get where you can start a
scene. Make your way down to the expansive dungeon and look around and give the old
and new equipment a look.
