Sex Ed Comes to Online Game 'Second Life'


It's easy enough to learn interesting things about sex just by wandering about in 'Second Life,' whose citizens are rather open about a variety of things when it comes to reproductive techniques. Going along with the Second Life promiscuity, the University of Plymouth in Britain has made things a little more official, starting an in-game zone for to educate members about sexual health and contraception. People can bring their in-game avatars by, read some literature, and even take home some free (virtual) condoms.

It's an interesting experiment, but one that parents may not appreciate at first pass. However, parents, if your kids are hanging out in 'Second Life,' they could certainly be hanging out in worse places than the sex ed shop.
