Let's say that I would like to upload a picture of myself on my profile.
However, I am not sure how wise this is.
I would maybe suffer very bad consequences and social rejection if any of my vanilla friends saw my photo on a kink oriented site.

My question is more theoretical than practical. I don't intend to upload any pictures of myself yet.
However, I am interested in the mere possibility of doing this and the risks involved.

Many upload pictures of themselves without showing facial features. Other options can be masks, hats, sunglasses, ect. If you believe your professional life would be at risk, then dont do it. Its not worth the costs.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Ok, in order for them to RECOGNIZE you, they'd have to register themselves. What does that say about them?

Better yet, do you think that what you're doing here is remotely shameful?

Actually you can browse and view profiles without registering at all.

Exactly what i was going to say.  This is not AOL, or Google, or Amazon.  It's not the type of site that the broad population frequents.  So anyone who would see you probably has similar interests as you do.

But just to be safe, use a picture that hides your face, or one that represents your take on BDSM.  You don't really think that Jeffff is an anteater, or that Lady Angelika is a disembodied pair of legs, do you?  Be creative, and do what makes you feel comfortable.

I had pictures up on the profile side for years and was never recognized.

Yeah. Bottom line, you seem to assign yourself and awful lot of importance in other people's lives. I sincerely doubt that you're all that significant enough for them to hunt you down and try to look for your face on a kink site.

FR:

My favourite malesub pic? A *giant* sombrero with a bit of torso underneath. The guy's got a woman's feet resting on his chest. It's a nice chest.

(Y'all know who I mean, Femdom ladies )

Don't show your face if you don't want to.

VC, I find your profile photo very stylish and beautiful, yet you managed to make it hard for people to recognize you. Maybe I'll do something similar about my photo when I decide to upload it.

Also very charming should you have the opportunity to meet him.

That's some shitty advice. Bottom line - don't put pictures of yourself on the internet that you wouldn't want the entire world to see. Period.

I suppose if he's only interested in posting face and cock shots might leave a little room for discretion.

If you're in a very high profile job or political office, it might also come back to haunt you. Exception, granted.,

Other than that, honestly, no one really cares. But I suppose it's much better to breed mass paranoia.

Don't.

Two things.

1)  If someone wants to see you, they'll ask.  If you want to, you can show them.  It's a nice system.

2)  Please understand that I say this with a sense of soothing, tender affection.  You're a total spazz.  Having a picture up will give you a whole new set of things about which you can spazz out flamboyantly.  I can already see the threads of "OMG why are guys looking at my picture?"  "Guys someone keeps looking at my picture and I think they might be someone I know incognito and they might turn me in to the anti-kink secret police in my homeland!"  "Guys look at the mole on my right arm in this picture.  Is it bigger than in the picture before it?  Should I go to the doctor???"

Good pictures can draw people in.  Pictures posted by people who are comfortable with posting pics here can be a good way to get a better sense for what the person is really like.  For you, I'm afraid posting a pic of yourself would only lead to sweaty palms, sleepless nights, and sudden fitful midday panic attacks in which you become convinced you're going to go the way of Josef K.

Ok, I acquiesce. This is way better. You should listen to Orpheus.
