Not over concerned, I quite like showing myself off. Would be a lot happier still if there was an option to have some just visible to selected members, sort of a private/public collection Sue | ||

If my interest in BDSM got out with the workforce where I work, then it would sort of ridicule me. Sad to say, but sometimes its not sensible to open up the possibility of someone finding out about you. Thats why I will only email a picture to someone once I've made contact. Makes it far harder to get noticed though.

I'm fine with it and I generally find that people are more nervous about it than is really necessary. Still, I understand that some people may not want to be identifiable from a picture up on here and if they have a photo or two of themselves in which they cannot be recognized but still gives an idea of roughly what they look like then that seems to me to be the best solution for them. Personally, though, I find it really annoying when people put up profile pictures of other people or images of people who look absolutely nothing like them. I don't think this happens so much here as on some other sites, but it can build up a false idea of what the people you're talking to look like (sometimes even of their sex). Ooooh it drives me mad. | ||

At the moment I won't show my face as I don't want to cause any problems for someone (loong story) but if I ever find anywhere to live, then I will put my ugly mug up for the world to look at.

Yes, its exciting as its the only place you will find me publically wearing latex, and No, as being 'found out' is the last thing I want (hence the hood!) Why is it that what you really want always takes longer to arrive than what you don't want?? | ||

This is kinda my reason. I dont really have any problems with people seeing me on here and have thought about putting pics up....but i get plenty of memos from some lovely people on here and i dont feel the need. Anyone that i would want to chat to would do it without a photo and people are free to ask me for one if they would like to see what i look like. | ||

Yea we're happy with our faces being on here and other similar sites.
That said both our families, work collegues, friends, etc. all know what we get up to, seemed the best way to stop people outing us or being surprised by finding certain items in the house Anybody can ask about our 'interest' but just be warned you'll get an honnest answer. *WEG* | ||

I don't feel entirely comfortable. But I don't think anyone I know well would see me here, and a more casual acquaintance probably wouldn't recognise me from that picture. The main reason I have a face pic is to avoid the situation where someone seems interested and asks to see a picture but then breaks off contact once they see it. If they contact me or reply to an memo I can assume they have seen my mug and are not appalled by it. Though not always.

Maybe I'm just too trusting then. Or maybe the only people I really want to keep this from would never get onto IC |
