Sex in Second Life

Who'd have thought, huh? But actually, this isn't the sort of story you might be expecting. Barbara Hastings-Asatourian, a senior lecturer in nursing and managing director of Contraception Education is giving a sex education class to teenagers in Second Life next week.

This may help address some of the issues raised in the UK Government's recent report criticising sex education in schools, and it is another example, despite what King may think, of serious work and academic collaboration within Second Life – Hastings-Asatourian is collaborating with the University of Plymouth and their sexual health information activities in Second Life that we covered back in July, and with occasional follow-up stories.
