Virtual sex on IMVU is one step too far

It used to just take a baggy sweatshirt and makeup for women to hide their flaws, but today, the Web has made it possible for them to mask themselves completely with entirely new identities.

At first glance, the concept of creating a virtual version of yourself seems harmless. People can have a lot of fun creating their virtual versions, especially with all the features of the latest 3-D chat rooms that allow users to transform into better versions of themselves.

A deeper look, however, brings to the fore an entire nest of cobwebs(IMVU Credits), and the colors that lure people in by illuminating the facade can all too often turn out be quite dark indeed.

There are the obvious dangers of getting caught up in chat rooms, the most apparent being the fact that you do not know who you are talking to. But when a work colleague turned to me the other day and said, “Did you know you can have virtual sex in the IMVU 3-D chat room?” I realized there is also an extraordinary potential for psychological damage.

I wasted no time and downloaded IMVU, where the first step is to create your own 3-D character. A screen came up with a selection of glam-ragged, stick-thin women. I stubbornly clicked down to find more outlines that were closer to the real me, but there were no more choices. “Where are the short voluptuous brunettes?!” I shouted angrily(IMVU Credit).
