Strip/Escort Club

[PaulVanHelsing]

I own land in a moderate sim. I want to put a strip/escort club there. Is that allowed on a moderate sim or do I need to buy land on an adult sim? I am not quite sure how that works.  I know you can't be nude or have sex outside of your home on a moderate, but is it acceptable if services are given inside?

Moderate allows you to have a strip club. There are several around on moderate sims. But escorts and everything like that are not allowed on M rated land, you will need A rated land for that.

You can get A rated land the same way as the land you have now. Just make sure, that you are allowed to open a club on it (if you rent from another resident).

From the Offcial Plicy ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Adult_Content_FAQ ):

Is simple nudity without sex Adult?

Depending on context, nudity may not require an Adult rating. For example all of the following could be rated Moderate:

• A nude beach without sexual activity.
• Skin vendors showing a nude skin to display the product.
• Nude art that is not sexual.
• Strip clubs that do not use adult words in search or host sex furniture.

Depending on the context, exposed genitalia may not be considered Adult. For example:

• Hanging out at a nude beach would be fine.
• Walking around pants-less on the mainland could be inappropriate.

Non-sexualized depictions of nudity are Moderate NOT Adult.

What about strip clubs?

Strip clubs in general are Moderate. However, they are Adult if they:

• Use adult keywords in listings and in search.
• Have sex balls and backroom sex areas.

What does "advertises or publicly promotes" mean?

The maturity ratings distinguish between publicly-promoted adult content, required to be on Adult regions, and non-public adult content, such as private homes with a sex bed, that can be located on Moderate land.

Adult activities cannot be advertised or publicly promoted on Moderate land. Such activity must occur privately, behind closed doors on Moderate land (see below), and is forbidden on General land. These restrictions apply regardless of whether the parcel has hidden avatars.

Advertising for SL search using adult words clearly requires being on Adult land. Other examples of advertising or publicly-promoting include renting signs inworld, listing on events, buying ads in newspapers, or distributing flyers or notecards to passersby.

Private invitations to friends are not considered advertising or promoting. Inviting everyone in a small private group that you control is not considered advertising. However, inviting everyone in a public group can be considered a promotional effort.
