Information about BDSM systems in Second Life

Information about various systems that are relevand for those who wish to indulge in BDSM in the virtual world Second Life.

Zindra is a mainland continent, requiring age verification for access, to where LL has forced all adult oriented businesses and public activities in SL from other mainland, including BDSM. It also contains a central sim called Zindra.

Restrained Life Viewer (RLV) is a third party SL viewer modified to permit its user to hand over some control over their AV to other users, often used by submissives in BDSM activities in SL.

OpenCollar is one of several interfaces, open-source and seemingly the most popular, in SL to access the features of RLV and other functions, usually as a scripted slave collar, offering menus for control.

Xcite! is one of several systems in SL to simulate sexual excitement, based on a virtual excitement meter and scripted items adding excitement score, doing emotes and animations for the avatars.

LockMeister and LockGuard are systems used to display chains, ropes and similar in SL, to connect e.g. cuffs and anchor points, often combined with systems to limit AV mobility.

Many user-created BDSM items and systems are built to be at least partly compatible with e.g. RLV, OpenCollar, Xcite! and LockMeister/LockGuard, but often offer own or additional functions.
