DID YOU KNOW:
Philip Rosedale (born September 29, 1968) is an American entrepreneur, best known as the founder of this virtual world (also known by his Second Life avatar, Phillip Linden). As Wiki mentions, Philip Rosedale took an interest in computers, technology, and virtual reality from an early age.
In 2006, he and Linden Lab received WIRED’s Rave Award for Innovation in Business.
On March 14, 2008, Rosedale announced he would be stepping down as the CEO of Linden Lab and assuming the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors (coincidentally exactly 6 years to the day from the "birth" of his avatar).
Rosedale had stated that his goal with Second Life was to demonstrate a viable model for a virtual economy or virtual society. In his own words: "We don't see this as a game. We see it as a platform that is, in many ways, better than the real world" (Google TechTalks, March 2006). In October 2009, Rosedale announced that he'd be less involved in the development of Second Life, because he was focusing on a new project.
The announced project turned out to be a company named LoveMachine Inc, founded with Ryan Downe.In June 2010, he announced that he was back to the office as CEO of Linden Lab. However in October 2010, Rosedale announced he was leaving his position as interim CEO.
In November, 2011, Rosedale released a new project named Coffee and Power a site that Rosedale calls a "meta-company," that enables people to connect for small jobs and services. On April 16, 2013 Coffee & Power posted to their company blog that they were going to stop work on Workclub, their mobile application and begin work on a new company named High Fidelity Inc.

No matter if you chose to be a vamp, a wolf, an elf, a dragon or drag queen, a fairy, or just human, we all invested time and linden (no matter how much) to become exceptional to our own eyes and used our own unique imagination to accomplish that. Default avatars have no genitalia, so users need to buy them. Second Life offers you free access to build your avatar but come on … you can get whatever you want if you give yourself time, look carefully and choose what you like best.
OK avatar is ready and set to go so what is next?
What is the most frequent word, new (not only) users test on the search tab, when they start Second Life? … is it perhaps … “SEX” …
You can do anything in Second Life: Go parachuting, go surfing, build a majestic building, fight vampires OR you can have sex. The virtual world is a haven where people can fulfill their sexual fantasies by pretending to be the opposite sex, experimenting with homosexuality, owning a harem of sex slaves (who are themselves fulfilling their fantasies by role-playing as sex slaves), and lots more.
