[…] one person at a time. My sex life alternates from celibacy to promiscuity. When Vint tried that math about number of second life partners, I remained silent. Not that I was shy to tell, I had no clue about the […]

*grins* because you were not the only one pointing it out…. Tenchi for instance did as well in a comment on the original post :-)

But, since I like to see you happy I’ll hereby publically state “I’ll agree with Vint the age should be 16″

There, happy? *winks*

Why can’t you just say ‘agree with Vint’? *grins*

Oh great, my “greater/smaller then” symbols got parsed…

ok … rest of the story:

If your PI is greater then 1 it means you are more promiscuous in SL then you are in RL. The higher your PI the bigger the difference.

I think it still holds water. I have to agree with other posters though that 16 is probably a more reasonable RL starting age.

@Zaphod: It is logical you get different values at different ages if the rest of the variables doesn’t change. Someone who has 5 partners in 5 years time is more promiscuous then someone who has had 5 partners in 20 years time. No ?!

Now, as stated:

index > 1 = RL promiscuity

Zaphod, that is the only reason I came up with such a high PI. I’m an old guy, no other reasons for it, I swear! ;-)

Unless I am getting this very wrong, this formula assumes that an older RL age will make you more promiscuous?

assuming: 2 RL partners, 2 SL partners and SL age = 6 months:

at RL age = 20 then index = 0.8
at RL age = 30 then index = 4.8
at RL age = 40 then index = 8.8

I just hope there aren’t any octogenarians in SL!!!!!

No, no. 16 to start counting for the RLex. As for the childpr0n. Dunno. Depends on what you consider broadly offensive. ;)

So far always requested avatars to be at least 18 HOURS old! => (LMAO)²!!!

What??!

I quote: “‘life’ evolves 5 times faster in SL than in RL.” and “imho 16 would be a better age to start counting then 18.”

Do I get this right: that means an SL avatar needs to be at least THREE years and a few months old before they should have cybersex??

Does this mean I have been creating and publishing ‘childporn’ without realising?! ;-P
