- Dear members of the MU* community:
-
- I'm writing a paper on VR sex, ethics, and technology, and using
- state-of-the art VR sex (that is, tinysex) as a case for examination.
-
- I've been chatting with people on various MUDs and MUSHes about
- tinysex, VR sex, and the differences between virtual and RL sex,
- both today and given better VR interfaces than those commonly
- available.
-
- In this paper I'd like to both present an accurate picture of
- the MU* community and address any problems that members of the
- (admittedly very loose) MU* community can come up with.
-
- If you'd like to share any such information with me, if you
- feel there are any places (virtual or real) that I should look
- for information on VR sex and/or tinysex, or if you'd like to
- share with me your experiences with (or stories about) tinysex
- or any other sort of VR sex (does VR sex take place on IRC? I
- have no IRC access....) that would be applicable to this paper,
- please reply via mail to this message or send me electronic
- mail at 'an4128@anon.penet.fi'.
-
- Messages directed to this address will get to me via an
- anonymous mail/news server in Espoo, Finland, so your
- confidentiality won't just be at my whim. :-)
-
- I'll be happy to respond personally to any mail you direct (if
- you include your real email address)--I'm only posting this via
- the anonymous posting service in order to protect the anonymity
- of any respondents who wish it.
-
- If you would rather chat with me in person, please leave mail
- for me (as 'Researcher') on AfterFive, af.itd.com, port 9999.
- I'll be happy to arrange a time and (virtual) place to meet
- with you and chat. (I have no access to the database on A5,
- nor am I a wiz--just a satisfied user, so you need not worry on
- that account.) And again, if you wish it, your confidentiality
- and/or anonymity will be strictly respected.
-
- Sincerely,
- Researcher (on A5)
