TAMPA, Fla. -- Kevin Alderman didn't bring sex to "Second Life." He just made it better. The 46-year-old entrepreneur recognized four years ago that people would pay to equip their online selves _ which start out with the smooth anatomy of a Barbie or Ken doll _ with realistic genitalia and even more to add some sexy moves.
