Well, 1 update every 3 months ain't bad. But, to kick it off in true MMOrgy form, here's some smut.

This is Sadako Shikami, and she wants your hot, hard (earned)... cash.

I've talked before about porn derived from virtual worlds, it's not anything new by a long shot. Hell, our last post was about LARP porn of WoW for fuck sake. However, I'm not really sure (outside of fetish sites) that many others have tried to take their market out of the virtual world and onto the web, which is exactly what Sadako wants to do. For a mere $4000L (Right now, around $15US) per month, she'll provide you with member access to her galleries. Which is normal. However, the custom content is what sets this service apart. You have the right at any time to request custom sets or stories, for MUCH less than you'd have to pay to get a "real" model to perform. Well, and really, who else can offer things like:

Sometimes, I turn into the Egyptian cat goddess Bast. When that happens, you can saddle me up and ride me throughout SL, which includes flying. You get the controls.

We were so going to try and pull off a porn studio here at MMOrgy, but I kinda lost interest in the project early due to the absolutely MASSIVE amount of work it would be, not to mention, I have some serious doubts about sustaining this stuff. So, stay tuned for my article on analysis and predictions of structure in virtual world porn business models, which may happen either tomorrow, or like, 4 months from now, if I keep my current track record.

**Virtual Model/Escort Declares Virtual Porn As Good As the Real Thing**

Second Life, Colonia Nova, January 9, 2007 — A Second Life user
using the pseudonym Sadako Shikami, who works in-world as a model and
escort, has bridged the gap between virtual reality and web reality by
opening her sex life to the world via a website, blog and gallery.
That's not a shock. What's shocking is she hopes to make a living by
pushing pixels.

Virtual porn can be just as, if not more, satisfying than the real
thing, asserts Ms. Shikami, putting emphasis on Second Life's
sex-related users , scripts and objects as being the pinnacle of
today's virtual, interactive sex. Regarding the current state of
virtual porn online, "even though a real person created it, it’s
just a picture, a painting, a special effect. The main difference
between hentai anime or Poser porn and Second Life porn is that
there’s a real person behind the avatar, or the furry, or the
cartoon," maintains Sadako. "You can life out your wildest fantasies
with a real person who shares them."

Sadako's services in-world are somewhat unique, in that she's living a
sexual lifestyle that allows her to bring quite a bit of reality and
variety to her in-world experiences. Her website is the second of its
kind, CardieMahoney.com being the first. Cardie is Sadako's in-world
coworker at xXx Fantasy Escorts, in Phasma, and her original
inspiration. "The moment I saw Cardie's site, I asked if she minded if
I tried one too. She said okay. We're not really competition, because
she offers a girl-next-door, classy quality in her pictures. I'm more
of a down-and-dirty, tomboy, gritty reality girl. I could try to be
classy, but I remember reading 'Private Parts' by Howard Stern, and
how he didn't become popular until he acted like himself. So I have to
be me," says Sadako confidently.

Using a simple blog and gallery as a jumping board, Sadako soon
realized that the market for selling virtual porn - such as hentai
anime and 3D erotica - is vast, growing and a bandwagon worth jumping
upon. "It's safe ... no one catches an STD, no one gets pregnant, no
one is raped or exploited," says Sadako. "I can be completely
anonymous, I can work at home, and I can earn a good living having fun
and serving a need that's out there. What's safer sex than
masturbation?" she laughs.

Anonymous client J. says, "Sadako is real. I mean, really real.
Capital-R real. I know she's in the room with me. I know she cares
about me getting off. No video is going to [care] about me. Even phone
sex falls short, because I can watch Sadako do what I ask, I can tell
her what color I want her hair to be. Men are visual people. We need
that."

At $4000 Linden per month (approximately $15,00 U.S., depending on
Second Life's "Linden" currency exchange rate), her site is comparable
to most hentai and 3D porn sites. Given that she offers personalized
services such as custom photo shoot requests, custom erotic story
requests, and even personal appearances in-world with members of her
site, her new venture looks to fill a brand-new niche in the online
sex industry - complete virtual interactivity. Second Life's
popularity, and their recent decision to release their open source
code, will give Sadako and others like her a constantly growing,
expanding market to capitalize upon.

As a work-at-home mother, graphic artist, web designer, writer of
erotic fiction and budding Second Life photographer, she certainly has
quite a balancing act. "I'm finding this job to be very fulfilling,
because I get to do what I love - photography and modeling - without
leaving home. My boyfriend loves it, he thinks it's fun dating a porn
star," she laughs. "I think this kind of 'virtual but real' porn is
going to catch on big time. I mean, when is the last time a Jenna
Jameson fan could call her up and have her come over to their house?"
