I would speculate that it would appeal more to the already OpenSim converted. In my experience the OpenSim attracts more of a mature crowd which could lead to more honest exchanges for something like this. Having not actually been involved in the SL sex areas or the OpenSim ones (as more than just a tourist at their regions or events of a non sexual nature) I am indeed purely just speculating. However I can tell you this about the OpenSim and it applies to the regions in OSGrid which do cater to adult activities as well; I've never been solicited or worse; outright harassed in the OpenSim. When I was in SL I met some real creeps who had trouble acknowledging the word no unless you pretty much told them off and tped away or logged off. And that was while I just roamed the non adult rated areas in the usual exploration of a virtual world. In a few extreme cases I even reported the more frightening and abusive ones in the hopes of sparing someone else my disturbing encounter. The adult activity hubs of the OpenSim have been more safe and respectful communities than the regular lands of SL. If people who choose that lifestyle in OpenSim virtual worlds want a place to express that and they're not harming anyone who doesn't choose that then I completely support it. When I talk about maturity in the OpenSim - that's the difference.
