Can I ask what you do to make that living? An ex of mine spent some time in SL a few years ago so I got to experience some of it mostly second hand. Such a fascinating place.

I make and sell... penises! Very advanced ones. Kinda sucks because sure not something you can slap on a resume.

… now I'm curious as to what an "advanced penis" is 😅

Very cool. I might have to go look up how that even works. Thanks for sharing!
