How Anshe Chung got her start

Stephen Hutcheon reveals in his article published on the Sydney Morning Herald that Anshe Chung, poster girl of the virtual business world, got her start as an exotic masseuse, who used to run classes in virtual lovemaking.

The claims of Anshe Chung’s past have come to light (at least to those not immersed in Second Life politics) after her company, Anshe Chung Studios, tried to convince websites and blogs to remove images and attacks on her by phallic griefers.

According to the Valleywag blog, Anshe worked as a “black mistress” and as an “escort” out of a place inside Second Life known as the Cannabis Cathedral. Valleywag elaborates that escort services in SL involve going to a restricted area and watching sexy or kinky 3D animations while the escort talks dirty.

Valleywag adds that given that in this combination of porn and sex chat, escorts rarely or almost never meet their clients, many customers go for the novelty or amusement of it, rather than the sexual gratification involved.

The thing is, this isn’t exactly a big secret. There are many interviews before where Anshe has admitted to her past. In a November 2005 report, Anshe has said: “I started … as a private entertainer, somebody people who are bored or lonely could seek out for company.”

Given that Anshe’s past is almost an open secret, why the attempts to block the spread of the phallic incident? Guntam Graef, real-life husband of Anshe, says that the images and video are “clearly defaming and constitute a sexual assault.”
