Second Life is an online gaming community where you can escape the tedium of actually engaging with real people and immerse yourself in a poorly rendered fantasy world. It is well known for catering for all tastes and for popularising the infuriating term ‘avatar’. An avatar is your online appearance; in my case, a rohypnoltastic wank fantasy with unfeasibly large boobies. Why? Because I’ve heard that you can pay someone to sexually assault you on Second Life. I wanted to see just how harrowing pixelated deviance could be. I met a
French guy called Sympacool and he showed me how it’s done.

As you read this, please bear in mind that Benjamina is actually a guy with a beard, all dialogue is happening in real time, and Sympacool’s avatar had blond dreadlocks and a skintight über-gay T-shirt. And white trousers.

The rules of Rape Island.
The sign says:
“No the sex with the avatars of children!!!!! Thank you to respect that.” It seemed like a pretty reasonable request.

Benjamina: Hi! Would you mind raping me?

Sympacool: Wah, that’s so hot.

Benjamina: I’m new here. How do we do it?

Sympacool: You need a pussy.

Benjamina: No shit. Where do I get one of those???

Sympacool: You can buy one. Or find a free one.

Benjamina: Sorry. I’m so stupid and vulnerable. Can you take me shopping?

Sympacool: I bet you love it in real life.

Benjamina: shopping or rape?

Sympacool: both LOL

Benjamina: ha ha. shopping not so much.

    [We teleport to a shopping island]

Benjamina: there’s an advert here for a pussy and nipples!

Benjamina: look up there!

Sympacool : show me again

Benjamina: here!!

Sympacool : It’s not for sale.

Benjamina: why is it so hard to find a pussy? there are cocks everywhere.

Benjamina: it’s sexist.

Benjamina: no pussies here then.

Sympacool: wait a minute

Benjamina: ok

‘PUSSY —> Little Red Riding Hood’s Secret’, an object owned by ‘Benjamina’, located in Sex Toys Store at -0.0, 0.0,0.0, has been granted permission to: Take Linden dollars (L$) from you.

If you want to engage in some serious sex play, you need to buy genitals, dur. This is the vag shop where you could browse a whole selection of labia. They looked much better in the picture. When I put mine on it had weird red bits. It was called Little Red Riding Hood. Yep. My new friend Sympacool had his tackle out just for the heck of it.

Benjamina: i just bought the pussy… [The cyber-vagina cost about $3.00 in real money. Hopefully it won’t show on my credit card bill]

Sympacool: oh you are fast

Benjamina: i am.

Benjamina: But not in the bedroom, hot stuff.

Sympacool : can you show me?

Benjamina: now?

Sympacool: yes you can here

Sympacool: huuummm

Benjamina: shall we go back to where we met??

    [Sympacool gets out massive digital cock]

Benjamina: oh niiiicccee

Sympacool: lol 

Benjamina: i want you to violate me with that thing

Sympacool: I’ll rape you

Benjamina: Let’s go! Back to the rape island!!

Rape Island! Where all of your unspeakable violation fantasies can come true. It was pretty empty most of the time and looked like my grandmother’s living room.

Sympacool : I’m so excited

Benjamina: Me too!

Benjamina: Thanks for getting me the right equipment.

Benjamina: now show me what yours can do

Sympacool: oki

    [I take off my clothes and assume the position on all fours. Just like rape in real life.]

Benjamina: No! No! Hee hee.

Sympacool : Did you feel my cock?

Benjamina: get off me!

Benjamina: it’s so big, it’s hurting me

Benjamina: Stop, stop!

Sympacool: huuum

Sympacool: shut up

Benjamina: fuck you!

Benjamina: get off me!

Sympacool : no

Benjamina: why are you doing this to me??

Sympacool : bitch

Benjamina: you’re just like my daddy

Benjamina: fuck you’re so big

Benjamina: don’t hit me

Sympacool: huuuum

Sympacool: shut up

    [His pillow talk was definitely lacking in something. Maybe because he was French, or maybe because he was a dumb shit.]

This is the moment when Sympacool, my flaxen haired companion, succeeded in violating my fufu.

Benjamina: i don’t deserve this

Benjamina: why do you hate me so much?

    [Sympacool stops raping me and looks around.]

Sympacool: sorry, there is one girl harassing me thinking that it is real rape

    [The irony of this statement was lost on all concerned]

Benjamina: which girl??

Sympacool: Sealsuce behind you

Benjamina: hey. it’s none of her business

Benjamina: hey, Andrea Dworkin,  I love the rape!

    [the abuse starts again with renewed vigour]

Benjamina: well my love.

Benjamina: i want you

Benjamina: i want you to come

Sympacool: huuum

Benjamina: Did you come in real life???

Sympacool: yeeeeaaaahhhh

Benjamina: Awesome.

Benjamina: Thanks for the rape! See ya!
