Voice in SL

I haven't used the voice feature in SL a lot. SL is a new world, and we are free to express ourselves in our choice of lifestyle and look. Therefore, we can relax and release the inhibitions and let our fantasies reign supreme. In my opinion, with voice, part of the veil of anonymity is dropped.
When I voice chat, SL crosses too far into RL. My RL voice is controlled by years of "polite conversation", and SL KM is anything but polite.

However, last night I was with a friend who invited two other friends, and they began to voice. One gayvie is from New Zealand, with a unique accent: "better" sounds like "beater". Another female avi is from Australia, so suddenly I'm living "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". And the other gayvie from Canada, so very, very, very nice. It was astonishing to reflect that RL KM, sitting in central California, was chatting with ppl from time zones from +3 to +18 hours. The smalltalk flowed smoothly and I'll admit RL KM enjoyed it. But SL KM was on hold, since RL KM's voice can't channel the badass/gun-toting/gansta SL KM in.

Of course, there are gayvies who prolly get off on voice-sex with their avis, just like webcamming or calling one of those 900 phone numbers. During SL sex, I have to express a physical movement in words, i.e. "KM gently bites your necks, observes a bead of blood, spreads it on his lips and kisses you". Voicing that would be a challenge.

The jury is still out, but at this point, I think I'll keep voice for my bona-fide SL friends (i.e no SL sex). It creates a closer bond, despite the obvious loss of the badass KM as the discussion turns to topics such as favorite wine and the just outed gaseous alien from Pluto, Sarah Palin.

However, SL KM will continue typing away, brandishing his collection of guns, refusing to be a pretty boy, and loves pretty boyz lapdancing for him in their undies (black sheer preferred).
