Online sex leads to divorce

Lisa Best woke one morning to find her husband having an affair. In her bed. Right there, next to her. And to her surprise, it involved leather and another man. Her hubby was exploring gay sex in an online dungeon at Second Life.

“I saw John’s little person having it off with another man in a dungeon on the screen,” she said. “After a few minutes, I could bear it no longer and sat up in bed demanding to know what the hell he was doing. He quickly folded the damn machine shut.

“I went off the dial but John just brushed it away. He said it wasn’t real life so what was I doing my nut about?"

The next day she went onto his computer and found several screen shots he had made of his online explorations. “He called himself Troy Hammerthall and hung around at a place called the Bondage Ranch," she said.

She is now seeking a divorce, even though John says he is neither gay nor unfaithful.

“I was just messing about on there. I’m the world’s least gay man. There’s not a gay bone in my body,” he told News of the World. “I just found it funny. I only went on for a laugh. I can’t believe it’s ended up destroying my marriage.

“Second Life is just an escape and my avatar was just exploring things that I’d never sample—or want to sample—in real life.”

Sure ... and we love vaginas!
