Why do people hire escort girls in Second Life? For sex of course but what I mean is: there are so many willing women in designated adult regions, that one wonders why men are paying for sex in Second Life?  Do the owners of Second Life´s sex clubs actually make money?

Why does one become an escort girl in Second Life? Is the little bit of money they charge, worth the hassle or is it the kick to “role play” a naughty girl?

Lots of questions and only one way to find out:

Going undercover as an escort girl in Second Life.

Caroline will walk the steamier side of Second Life. I will start at the place where I interviewed an escort girl sometime for this article: confessions of an escort girl in Second Life!

The Amsterdam Red Light District

I start my undercover investigations In the Amsterdam Red Light District in Second Life. Well. I tried too, but when I arrived there the region was basically dead. There was just one single resident on the sim. I would have expected a bit more traffic in such a region. Is this an indication of the lack of interest in such regions or was it just the wrong timing?

It’s a shame really because Amsterdam in Second life is well designed and very interesting sim.

Let me show you some pictures I made:

Going Downtown Amsterdam:

This looks pretty cool I think. It has this naughty atmosphere one would expect from a place like this. I went to Sletjes place, a club where Escorts can offer their services. I wrote about this place some time ago in my article, confessions of an escort girl.

Just like in real Amsterdam, the escorts sit in windows, offering their services to men passing the building.

Offering Sexual Services:

I like the attention to detail. Look at the fan and the TV set. In some of the windows, there are even cigarettes and makeup on a little shelf.  Someone has put a lot of thought into this it seems. After a while, a man passed the window and stop for some seconds to look at me. That felt kinda weird, but hey, that’s part of the trip. That was the only person I saw in Amsterdam. The guy left, without saying a word – maybe I was not his cup of tea.

As nothing happened there, I decided to look around the street a little bit. Just across the street, there was a little fast food shop. There they used some Bot-Avatars, to create a more realistic ambiance. The cook, a waiter, and one guest were actual bots. Nobody else is there either. I am sure this would be a great location to start some interesting roleplay.

The fast food restaurant:

Right next door to Sletjes is a small strip and lap dance place. Its decor is very good erotic pictures. The place can host just one girl and one guest.  So anyone who fancies a private sexy dance show. This is the place to go in Amsterdam:

Private shows in distinguished ambiance:

Even a Thai Massage Parlor:

And last but certainly not least, there are a couple of great shops in the street. Of course, the shops are appropriate to the theme: sex shops, lingerie, erotic art, and the like.  As soon as I have some more Linden on my account, I will do some shopping here. But recently my hair shop does not make much money, so I am a bit short of cash and remember:  I won’t use credit cards on “Carol’s Travels”, but only money I made in Second Life (or marketplace).

There is also a pretty dance club. Dance clubs are usually the kind of thing, that gets people to visit a region. However, I know by experience (you might remember my efforts for Gerry’s place) that a club only gets busy, if you host events with life DJs.  I believe, if they would make an effort, the club itself could make a big difference there.

The Amsterdam Red Light District is a place I highly recommend, especially if you are into naughty role-play. I just hope it is not always that quiet.  I will try again, and maybe see one of my readers there. Say hi, if you see me but:

 Psssst, don’t spoil my cover!

And here is your taxi to Amsterdam:

I strongly recommend reading my article on how to have sex in second life before you go there. It will help you get the most out of the experience.
