Update 10/09/06: I'm assuming, if you're coming here from the google link, you're actually looking for this:

Click on the picture or here to go to the Whores of Warcraft Post, otherwise, continue as you were.

Well, now that we've had the World of P0rncraft, it's only fitting to mention World of Whorecraft.

This is obviously a joke. But, like all good jokes, parts of it are now coming true (an event I like to call "Onioning"). You can see elements of many multiplayer games in the descriptions, a Nostradomus-like charting of where MMOs are going (or at least, where we'd like them to go...).

In the days before the words Linden and Blizzard were inappropriate names for children, there were vast virtual worlds on the computer that were free, hedonistic and impossibly outrageous.

The good news is -- they're still here...but cun u spel gud enuf 2 uz them? OMFG11!!!!1

P0rncraft: WoW Erotica and Roleplay Forums

With 3+ million users, it comes as no surprise that there's already a very large, very thriving World of Warcraft Erotica/Machinima/RolePlay community. With 7000+ users and a tons of active threads, p0rncraft seems to be the place to be if you get sick of grinding and want to... grind. (That joke is never going to get old, really)

Thanks to Sumatrae for finding the link, and making the rest of us feel like we're missing the obvious.

The Sexual Interactions Workshop is being held during SIGCHI 2006 (Montreal, Canada), and are currently having their Call for Participation. The workshop will cover Sex and Human/Computer Interaction, with some of the following goals:

• To understand how sex and themes related to it can inform current HCI practice and discourse.
• To explore the challenges in conducting human-computer sexual interactions research.
• To brainstorm novel technologies, interactions, and research methods inspired by human sexuality.
• To create a community for future discussion and exploration of the topic.

The MMOrgy Message Boards are now open and ready for use. So get in there and start discussing... stuff!

These boards can be used to discuss the articles we post here on the front page, give new ideas for things we should write about, or to advertise (within reasonable means, please do not spam our boards, we have no problem banning people) sex events/products/services that others might be interested in.

As sex isn't really a requirement of MMO life, it would follow that fetishes wouldn't be either. Yet, fetishes are seen more that regular, "vanilla" around many MMO worlds. MMOs are places for people to explore new experiences, and fetishes just happen to be an experience many are interested in, but few have the means to jump into in real life.

In the world of robotics, there are three adjectives describe the type of jobs robots are made to replace humans in: "dirty", "dull", and "dangerous". Interestingly enough, these three adjectives could also be used to explain the world of MMO fetish exploration and play. However, most people don't like their enjoyments being described using any of those terms, so we'll use the contractions "wouldn't", "couldn't", and "shouldn't".

"Wouldn't" refers to situations and fetishes people are interested in, but may not want to jump into in real life quite yet. "Couldn't" explains kinks prohibited by either cost, laws of physics, or some other limiting factor that the player cannot achieve. Finally, "Shouldn't", either in the terms of the user's life context (prior relationships, community position, etc...), the bindings of the law (fetishes illegal in the geographic area of the user), or "permanent" (those things which can only be done once...). In this article, we'll explore examples of each of these types, as well as the people that play them.

We've got a good staff here at MMOrgy, but we still need to grow! There's quite a few worlds we aren't covering enough, or covering at ALL. If you're interesting in writing about a world for us, send mail to isabelle [at] mmorgy [dawt] com

We're very much in need of more World of Warcraft coverage while our current WoW writer gets resituated, as well as people to cover all of the topics with no posts on the sidebar. We'd also be happy to have more Second Life and Sociolotron writers, assuming they could fill a certain, specialized niche in the world. We're also happy to take one-off pitches and submissions.

As the popularity of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) rises, we see interesting genres appearing through the new independant games. While the bulk of online gaming still lies within the Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPG, i.e. World of Warcraft, Anarchy Online, Phantasy Star Online, etc...), we now have Virtual Worlds (Second Life, There, The Sims Online, etc...), Massively Multiplayer Puzzle Games (Puzzle Pirates), and even Massively Multiplayer Spreadsheets (EVE). Sex has shown up in all of these games in one way or another, but there have only been a few games with small player bases that really feature sex as the main aspect Sociolotron is one, but the general topic is outside of the usual gamer or sexually active person's... interests. Seducity is another, but really, who plays Seducity?

In the next year, many companies will (hopefully) be releasing a new type of game known as the Massively Multiplayer Online Virtual Sex Game, or MMOVSG. Here's a list of a few that are currently in the works:

Rapture Online by Black Love Interactive
Spend The Night by Republik Games
Heavenly Bodies by Nest Egg Studios
3Feel by CM-NET

So, what will MMOVSGs bring us that we can't currently get with other worlds? Why should we throw down even more hard earned money when we can just watch a Dark Elf gyrate for a while and then go level grind some more? In this article, we go over some of the pros and cons of what MMOVSGs can present for the lonely/horny(/both) gamer.

If the phrase 'How about a nice massage?' makes your sphincter shut tighter than a timelock in a bank you'd best skip this entry.

But if you're like me (and I know I am) then let me regale you, fellow traveler, about my visits to a place in Second Life where the men are men and the women are alone.

There's an interesting article up on GamesFirst! about the experience of building a character and playing in London. It's a well done first hand account of the world, and part of a two part series.

My name is Sumatrae and I'm addicted to cybersex.
(Hi! Sumatrae!)

From IM's to IRC to Mucking and now Second Life, my quest for the perfect scene is never ending. Isabelle has graciously given me a space here to blog my exploits as well as give you what I hope is an excellent travelogue of how diverse and entertaining sex in Second Life can be.

My first stop is one of the most famous portals in all of Linden - Furnation Prime.

Even though it doesn't make any references to what company is running it, it's pretty obvious that My Gay Sim Life is running on the Seducity engine.

Actually, there's almost no information on this world, period. The signup site consists of two pages (and a hefty $21.95/month usage fee, matching Seducity's Two Avatar fee), none of which provide interesting or provocative information about the world.

Even so, this is interesting in terms of repurposing of a world engine. I'm not sure if Seducity is running this site or if this is an outside company licensing the engine, tha major difference being the billing methods. I think we'll be seeing more generic sex based worlds being licensed and repurposed to cover specific sexuality preferences, fetishes, and interests.

Might virtual worlds become the gallery sites of the future? Probably not, but it's always fun to dream. :)

MMOrgy welcomes our newest writer, Sumatrae! He'll be covering Second Life and MUDs/MUCKs for us.

Brenda Brathwaite, head of the IGDA Sex In Games Special Interest Group is currently looking to interview several individuals who regularly engage in cybersex for an upcoming project she's working on. If you would like to be a part of this project, please contact her at brenda at mmorgy dot com.
