Red Light Center

The Plight of the Porn Addict

The life of a serious porn enthusiast can be a lonely one. Which makes sense, seeing as watching porn is, more often than not, strictly a solitary act. Because of … well … you know why. Unless you have a particularly kinky friend, girlfriend, or wife, chances are if you watch a lot of porn, you spend a lot of time alone. There is a bit of an irony to it, too, wouldn’t you say? Porn, after all, was invented to alleviate loneliness. At least in a certain sense. People are drawn to porn, for the most part, because they do not, at least at the moment, have a lover to engage in the sex acts that the professionals perform for the camera. If you did have that, you probably wouldn’t be watching porn in the first place, right? Who is going to choose sitting at home and masturbating to porn over getting laid? The whole point is to create a bridge between one’s desires and one’s reality … to sort of try and trick your mind (and other parts of your body) into feeling like you are getting the physical attention that you require. And nowadays, that little dirty trick that pornography has always strived to provide has become easier than ever before to pull off. With recent breakthroughs in technology, the pornographic experience has become a more active one, a more immersive and believable way to make your body (and your mind) believe that it is being fulfilled. Thanks to recent advents such as Virtual Reality porn, live sex webcam sites, remote controlled sex toys, and extremely high definition 1st person point of view videos, watching porn has not only come more realistic but it has become more interactive as well.

Interactivity is the Future

Which is good news for the lonely porn lover. Gone are the days of merely sitting back and passively taking in pornographic content. Today, you can actually participate in your porn niche of choice. Whether it is by chatting with and touching yourself alongside a live woman halfway around the world in real time and actually controlling the vibrations of her Bluetooth enabled sex toy, participating in the community sections of your favorite free porn tube, or trying your luck at one of the many sex chat sites that exist on the web, there is no denying the fact that porn is becoming more and more participatory … more and more engaging on all levels. One of the ways in which this increased interactivity has manifested itself in the online adult entertainment industry is in the form of pornographic video games. The porn game world has been growing at an impressively steady rate over the last two decades or so. And it shows no signs of slowing down. With new porn games being created and put on the web every day, the marriage between porn and gaming has been a very natural and productive one, to say the least. There is an enormous amount of variety when it comes to the types of porn games that exist. Some are simple click-through games that rely heavily on hentai or cartoon animation, in which you are faced with choices and have to make the right decisions in order to be rewarded with on-screen nudity or sex scenes. There are also puzzle games, card games, and RPGs – all of which tend to have a similar premise … and that premise is, succeed in the game and you will score major porn points later. Then there is also a whole category of porn games that bring together three of the major qualities that make 21st century porn so great: sex (duh), socializing, and 3D gaming interfaces. There are several of these sorts of games out there to choose from, and it can be hard to pick the right one out of the crowd. Seeing as the majority of these kinds of porn games require downloading pretty sizeable programs onto your hard drive (which can always be a bit of a risk in and of itself), you are wise to come to Porn Sites to do some research before deciding on one.

Become Who You’ve Always Wanted to Be

Today, Porn Sites is going to take you through a pretty popular 3D sex chat game known as Red Light Center. Red Light Center is fairly similar to other games like it on the market, in that there is no real mission for you to accomplish … well … other than the mission that is always at hand: to get laid. That is, essentially, the whole point of the game. There is no winning, there is no losing. It is more about chatting with real people in a 3D fantasy world where there are no boundaries and promiscuity is king. Once you download Red Light Center – which should take anywhere between 3 and 5 minutes, depending on the power of your PC or Mac – you will log in and be asked to choose an avatar. You can select your gender, male or female, and there are several different general likenesses for you to choose from for both genders. Once you’ve chosen your name and your avatar, it’s time to go join the party! There are many different worlds for you to explore as your avatar. There are a few standard ones, like a nightclub, a bar, etc., which you can check out any time, day or night. But there are also themed events that you can access, should they be happening while you’re playing. There is a calendar, too, don’t worry, so you can plan to be there for any event that you find alluring enough.

Chat Before You Play

As you navigate through the virtual world of your choosing, you will run into other players. Most of them will be shredding the dance floor, others may be standing around or sitting at the bar. There will be a local chat box in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. This is where you will flirt with and forge connections with the other players in the game. A quick word to the wise: take advantage of this chat box. The players of Red Light Center do not take kindly to being propositioned to get physical without at least saying hi first. This is where the game gets tricky. Not in a strategic sense … monetarily speaking. Red Light Center is completely free to download and play. However, your full enjoyment of the game is going to be rather limited. In order to unlock everything that this game has to offer, you will have to upgrade to VIP status, which is, like most porn sites, contingent on a monthly membership fee. And this fee is not necessarily cheap. In order to truly play Red Light Center, expect to pay $20 per month. And that doesn’t even account for the fact that many of the female players are digital sex workers who charge extra fees for their virtual time.

Ready Your Wallet

Without VIP, all you will be able to do is dance, kiss, hold hands, and chat in the local group chat box. Unless you upgrade your account, you will not be able to engage in any sexual action. You will not be able to private message other players (though they can private message you, if they feel so inclined). You will not be able to see any of the avatars naked. In other words, the game will be more like a slightly erotic version of The Sims and less like an actual XXX porn game. There are some gameplay flaws to note as well. For a game that charges users $20 a month, Red Light Center has a surprising number of glitches. The gameplay is not exactly smooth. The views are more cumbersome than they should be, especially when you are engaging with another player physically … many of the viewpoints are awkward and it can be difficult to get a good line of sight on what is going on. Characters can also walk right through one another (and walls), which results in them frequently getting stuck and, thus, becoming unavailable to chat with. Is Red Light Center the best game of its kind? Well, it is certainly not the worst. The users, for the most part, are very friendly and conversational, so, that’s a plus. They are also very eager to please. However, more often than not, they will try to seduce you into upgrading to VIP in order to extend the fun outside of mere flirtation. The game is definitely fun, and it is a great way to break the solitary monotony of simply watching porn. However, unless you’re willing to shell out some serious cash, your fun is going to be very limited.
