ORIGINAL: UmbraDomina *playing devils advocate* Many people can not or will not show their faces on line especially on kink sites. Many people have jobs that they could or would lose if their face was out there. Many people have children who are also on line, and they don't want to risk them seeing mommy or daddy on a kink site. If you don't have a picture on line, most people will either ignore you, or call you a fake. There for many people take pictures of part of their body, especially if it is the part of your body you feel is attractive to others. I can use my own picture as a example.... My picture shows my legs..... I think I have decent legs, I am surely not going to take a picture of something on my body I find ugly...lol I don't show my face on line, especially on kink sites, I value my privacy. If someone is local and wants to see my face, I attend many of our local parties and events, they can met me there, if they want to have a cup of coffee or grab some lunch if I have time, I will met them, I have met tons of friends this way. again just playing devils advocate, Not to hijack, but I wonder if you are finding an increasing number of submissives who cannot get over the idea that you won't send face/private pics to them unless you plan to meet them. I found this wasn't an issue a few years ago, but nowadays, because file sharing, webcams, etc. are so prevalent, a lot of men don't want to wait and the idea of having to wait until there is chemistry makes them upset. Is this a growing issue? I was debating back and forth recently about getting a webcam or sharing more pictures. But I have had some problems with my pictures being misused in the past and I have some stalker issues as well, and since my life isn't resting upon my image in the BDSM online community, I don't feel that disappointing a few random guys is enough motivation or need to risk my safety or privacy. Even webcam feeds can be captured and saved. I have nothing to hide about my appearance, I just don't want a million pictures of me out there. Akasha A few men and ladies out there have told me "well if you don't send me a picture, i won't met you" or if you won't get on webcam/share your picture, then I know your really a guy, bla bla bla" My answer is generally good luck with that, don't hold your breath waiting.....lol If someone who is local to me isn't willing to risk a bad cup of coffee to met me then clearly they don't have a interest. I have no problem with my looks, I am not horribly ugly, just a average looking middle aged woman. I go to events and parties, and hell in some of the outfits I wear I show alot more of me then I ever would on line....lol yes, it has changed a bit in the last few years with tech advances it is easier to share pictures, and so more people assume you will share them. *waves at Lady Hibiscus* I know your not picking on us faceless torso's. I really was just playing devils advocate *laughs* anyway you have seen my face and you didn't run screaming into the night.....lol
