How do you guys get the guts to post your photos?
« on: February 08, 2020, 11:54:23 PM »
My profile picture is the bottom half of my face. There’s a certain thrill about having you guys see who I am behind the screen. But, there’s also the total fear of being tracked, harassed, or seen by someone I actually know. But, the urge is so intense. There’s an element of excitement to it.

For those of you who have posted your photos, how do you get the guts? Have there been consequences? Would you take it back if you could?

Thrilling, but I think it is too risky.  Too many strangers and too many guests.
I think I would only show to friends who have been here a very long time with thousands of posts, and even then I'm not sure.

I find the courage of those posting their pictures awe inspiring, particularly as I will never post any part of my body online.
If in doubt I would recommend you to err on the safe side, once a picture is out here, there is no way back, and it might come back to haunt you years down the road.

Sorry, somehow my post got deleted. Reposting now


I can totally understand your feelings regarding people seeing my face. When I first started here I had my face as my profile picture and while it did get some nice comments there were a few that made me wonder if I had done the right thing.

There is an undeniable thrill that someone I know might stumble across the site and see me and more importantly my stories and know a side of me that's secret.

As far as my circumstances go I pulled my profile picture due to starting a family and didn't feel it was appropriate for me so now I have an avatar of myself that reflects me how I want to be seen and my pictures of me are on my profile but with settings so that only my buddies can see it so people I feel I can trust see me.

One word. Don't do it.  That is the only safe option as you are a female, and that changes it completely.  A male would not likely face the harassment, and constant begging for nude pics that a female would.   While there have been females who post on here, and I will say that most of the males are respectful, but it only takes a few to turn it into a nightmare for you.    In the internet age, there is only one safe option and that is not post your pic at all. Use an avatar, or as you have cleverly done, obscure part of the face as to still hide your identity.   If you later develop a friendship with someone on the site and feel comfortable sharing a photo privately with them, that would be the way to go.

Just my thoughts.

As Darklord posted it's different for a male over a female. most male pics don't wind up on porn sites unlike a female photos. I also agree with Rachel, only post on your profile page set to buddies only status for viewing. Best advice only post if you feel comfortable posting pics if not them pic an avatar you feel best  suits you or a personal trait of yours. Eg like mine a guy in with glasses sitting in front of a laptop!

Thank you all so much. I really appreciate the honest advice. I do have an avatar maker or actresses/models that I can use to represent me. :)  I think sometimes aI have urges to show who I am to make the stories and fantasies seem more ‘real’, but that isn’t worth risking my safety.

Thank you. :)

I posted an actress with my hair color, skin tone, and eye color so that at least you guys can get some idea.

Have the setting on only buddies can see my pics and only people I’ve talked to for a few months can be buddies.
At the end of the day, this site isn’t illegal. Though yes being asked for nudes is here but surprisingly not as much as more mainstream social media sites. I do feel there is an element of respect here.
