Can any MMORPG players clarify that?

Sounds to me like you're thinking in too traditional terms here - at least if by "members area" you're referring to a sort of in-game paysite upsells.
While that's certainly an option, I think you main source of income should or would be from recurring subscriptions for access to the game world (not unlike regular MMORPGs, though I imagine you could probably charge quite a bit more with a virtual sex world).
Other things to make money from would be to charge additional real world money (converted to an in-game currency bought on the website, just like with Second Life, or in-game secure billing if that's an option) for access to various services inside the game world, and eg. for customizing your character with clothing or various bodily features bought in virtual stores, or even furnishing your own virtual home if that's a feature of the game world.
