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.

why hasn't this web site been revealed to high schools ther are so many young people who can go online and read and visually see recommendations without feeling like a bunch of old people are trying to tell them something . my child should have had this as part of her home eco program instead of being responsible for a hens egg or maybe a conbination of both she is still a virgin and i prqy she will stay that wat way but this is ed for this century and parents of statures are still playing the dumb game! now i get to spread the word for my community what about others. why doesn't the health classes at high school teach this program it would help a lot too if u include visual images of preg.and its progression i bet that would deter a lot of uneeded preg at a too early age! and the babies that are born might come out healthier!!!!
