Hello! I’m diving today at Mittandraland Mermaid Haven! This sim is great to swim around and explore all the different underwater areas! So happy I found this place in search, cos it’s a great place to show off pieces from The Secret Store’s Sea Adventure set.
If you cannot get into The Arcade, check out the yard sales for some goodies that other residents are unloading. If you know of any fantastic yard sales, let me know by leaving SLurls in the comments!
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Truth Hair – Bryn
Katat0nik – (candy pink) Sailor Bikini
The Secret Store – Sea Adventures (Snorkel Mask) Mint
The Secret Store – Sea Adventures (Rubber Flippers) Pink
Welcome to the Adult Hub, a region meant for residents over 18. It seems that Second Life has built a tasteful adult playground with beaches, clubs, pools, dancing areas, camping areas, waterfalls, all for new residents. New residents are guided to enter the Adult Hub through a portal at the Welcome Hub. Established residents can come too, and they can teleport directly to the Adult Hub. To enter, you must change your maturity rating to Adult and agree to the region rules. However, there’s no real age verification in Second Life, so technically it’s still possible that underage players could access the Adult Hub.
When I heard about Second Life launching a sex region, I was prepared to be grossed out. Ew, why? Why does Second Life want to attract people who come here wanting sex on day 1? Why make that the opening experience for new residents? But I visited the Adult Hub with an open mind and left with a deeper understanding of why Second Life made this.
Back in December 2023, Second Life teased that “Something Spicy” was coming. It was this Adult Hub, but for reasons that didn’t launch then, it launched now in March 2026. Is Second Life now ready for adults to come, along with their shiny new (sorta working) mobile app?
This is an adult game, and some adult areas in Second Life aren’t moderated. Anything goes. It can be scary and overwhelming. This feels more like a controlled environment for adults entering that side of Second Life, especially those who may appreciate moderation and tasteful decor.
Not everything on this region is about sex. There are lots of seating areas set up for conversations. Sex is one activity, but it’s well hidden inside the furniture. You don’t see pose balls anywhere, and the hints of sex are subtle.
My time wandering around this region as a 1 day old avatar, I only met established residents. Not a single new resident in sight. Not yet. A Second Life Mentor greeted me, and everyone I encountered was nice. They flocked to my noob avatar, introduced themselves, and tried to include me in conversation. That was nice. I think current residents are really trying to make new people feel welcome and stay. Maybe for the platform’s survival.
Even though I was prepared to run away from here and never look back, I think I’d go back as my main avatar. It’s an Adult Hub, but it’s not just a sex space. It feels more like a general adult social area where different things can happen. Of course my experience could be rare. This region could eventually turn into a full sex dungeon, dicks everywhere, nude avatars everywhere. But at least today, everyone I saw was wearing clothes. There are rules though, so be sure to read them while you’re here.
My overall thought is that this is nice. There should be more well designed areas like this for all types of experiences. I guess Second Life felt Adult was the draw, and I hope their gamble pays off.
My outfit today is inspired by The Tudors! This show is so sexy and smart, I’m completely enamored by it. What I’m wearing is the Chimera gown by Evie’s Closet. It’s so shimmery and beautiful, just perfect for an English lady or the King’s mistress 😛
These Mentine Tight Knee Boots are ridiculously sexy!!! I’m wearing the 4Suede Pink color, which has 4 different color variations, and tons of scripted options to customize the boots by changing the metals, colors and resize.
BOHO has just released the gorgeous Aya Love top & skirt set in 5 new colors. Normally I don’t wear long skirts cos I don’t like the length, but these are perfect and they don’t cover up my sexy Gos Espadrilles! I’m so happy I found matching shoes in Yellow! <3
LeLutka is having a skin sale!! All skins are 50% off from August 20th until August 26th. This is a great opportunity for people who don’t own all of the skins yet to stock up on my one of my favorite skins brand in sl!!
If you like my hair, it’s a special The Dressing Room item from Exile. The Bianca style for TDR includes 4 exclusive hair colors – Dark Brass, Honeycomb, Icestorm, and Infared. Get these while they’re still available!
This week is definitely HAIR WEEK — I have so many hairstyles to show you guys!! These four new hairstyles are the latest from Shag hair, and the names are oh so sexy!
I think the Erotica style is just so sexy and different, and the ‘sub.versive’ version has hair covering the eyes and an attachment that is a hair strand and an X to cover over the mouth.

I’ve waited forever for Tetra to update the Bella dress to include LaraX, and finally, it happened last week. This dress is my favorite item from Tetra, so I’ve been hoping for this update so I can wear it again. I dislike having to switch bodies back and forth, which means a lot of my inventory for Maitreya Lara remains unworn until they release the LaraX update. Eventually, I’ll just end up deleting those items. When a brand doesn’t revisit their previously released items that are still good, I find myself moving on from that brand.
Currently, I’m silently boycotting another brand in Second Life for this very reason. They released a dress that I love, then brought it back in a special limited edition color. The following year, they added the LaraX version of that dress but ignored the special edition color, leaving it without an update. A few months later, they released it again as a Halloween hunt item, complete with blood splatter, but again, they opted not to revisit the special edition color. I have decided to boycott them until they correct this oversight. I know you might be thinking, “But Gogo, you paid a dollar for that dress; designers won’t work for free!” However, I don’t believe I’m being entitled. They have released this dress four times now, three of which included LaraX. Why are they ignoring the only color I truly love? When brands put in a little effort to update previous items, they reap the rewards of being able to sell it again to even more customers, even if some customers do benefit from the free update. Even previous customers can show it some love by wearing it again and giving the brand free marketing.
This is just one of many random reasons I am choosing to boycott something in Second Life. Let me know in the comments if you’re currently boycotting anything, and why!
