I guess flying around on SecondLife got tiresome for some online masochists. So now there's sex furniture and machines to further enhance the virtual experience.

This site has some graphic but telling images of what you might find if you connect with the right characters. Along with play toys, it has sex furniture for your characters to play with (scroll down to #4 on the site). How the furniture works, the site explains, is that when two characters touch pose balls on the same piece of furniture, it activates the sexual act that is stored within the pose.

For those of you who aren't in SL, or are but failed the avatar tutorial and can't figure out how to walk yet, there's hope for you yet in the real world.

There's furniture you can purchase to provide sexual stimulation in your own home. Known commonly as "fuck" or "sex" machines, these pieces provide the dual-function of being both furniture and sex apparatus. The one pictured is called the "Monkey Rocker", a self-propelled machine you sit on to get your kicks. Good for g-spot or anal play, this machine lets you sit in both directions. And like furniture, it's an investment piece that prices itself around $850 (CAD). If you'd like to spank the monkey in your own home, you can buy one through Come As You Are here.

Dildo sold separately.
