Sex Sells, Even Virtually

My old buddy Mitch Wagner reports in InformationWeek that the "Amsterdam" sex-business area on Second Life has sold on eBay for $50,000.

According to Mitch:

The overwhelming majority of the shops in Second Life's Amsterdam sell sexual merchandise. And avatars posing as streetwalkers hang around near the train station, openly soliciting cybersex-for-pay with any avatar who stands still for a few minutes and many walking through.


Seems that sex sells no matter what. Even if it's a virtual sex site in a virtual world. And even if it costs real money.

My only question is how Mitch knew?
