[Discussion] Trust and Pics

[messy-emiy]

Hello everyone, recently I've started to notice a pattern, while not exclusive to gd, lets keep it close at home for now. A quick disclaimer though; I am talking about a minority of people, so if you feel offended, please don't, unless you know, you do these things :P

So one part of it is that some people 'demand' trust by sending requests like "KIK me on -username" out of the blue, or "send me pics of urself neked!11". Although stupid, you might say that this is all fairly 'ok', there is no true harassment going on, it is just dickish behavior.

I always feel like i am a bit more paranoid, and although I see far less other girls partaking in 'person above you' dares that involve pics, the above mentioned behavior almost make it feel like I am the odd one out, that I am worrying too much and that in todays society it is fine to share (nude) pics to everyone on snapchat or other services.

Yesterday though, this went full circle for me. Someone offered me to watch girls he knows on facebook, reaction to him revealing that he has nude pics of themselves. Now, I didn't take him up on his offer so I am not sure if he actually had these, but exactly these things are why I would never, ever send a pic of myself to someone. Nude or otherwise.

To take this rant a step back, I am wondering a couple of things; Do you send around (nude) pics? and do you feel it is unsafe to do so or am I just being paranoid? :P
For the first question I made a poll, for the second one, please discuss

If you ask me than you should be very carefull about pics which show your face or other information to identificate you, if there is nothing like that than I am totally ok with it. When I wear a mask or dont show my face, than i really dont mind where my pictures are going around or not, instead it is rather a turn on^^"

But yeah for other pics I would be really carefull :x
Its no fun if it could ruin your future^^

Whilst I have no problem sending and trading boob pics and have done so a lot in the past- it's always only to people I know and trust, and never with face.

I would never send anything more to a single person besides Sir because a- you don't know where they will end up, b- I'm very shy and have low self esteem about my body, c- a huge amount of people on this site are not trustworthy and d- Sir would kill me.

Seriously, it's not something I would ever wish to do and so I wont ever do it.

I have send nude pics to strangers, not towards some i know in real life. Mostly pics of me without face or other indicators that can lead to me. ( had send some with face when i just started, never saw them on the internet luckely)

I personally think that you only should send with face to some you really trust, otherwise keep it without face. but that's just my opinion.

[Tease]

People should always be careful of sharing photos that include your face you never know when people will try and use these for malicious intents.

I don't send nude pictures to any one but my Switch and he had to wait forever for them. Even a picture of just me. Not nude or anything.

He didn't get face at first. (Which was a hassle.)

Now he gets anything.

But I would never send them to anyone else. People here aren't trustworthy in my honest opinion and I'm not stupid enough to let them ruin my life.

People will try to convince you, you are paranoid but avoiding pictures is one of the safest measures you can take in my opinion.

I don't send pictures of myself naked, even without a face. Mostly because I don't want anyone to see them, but also because I don't see the point in that. I have definitely no problem with sending normal photos, or in a kind of "exchange" - people are sometimes curious how their conversationalist looks like, so I don't see anything wrong in normal and healthy satisfying others curiousity. And sometimes I am curious as well, though I never ask for any photos. But this is different context, having nothing to do with sexuality.

On the other hand I am against sending nude pictures, and also against receiving them (especially from males ). I perceive nudity as a goal which shall be achieved by me or someone else in relationships or other emotional/sexual stuff. This is why I don't want to receive any pictures with a naked person with whom I was talking - simply, what's the point? If I would like to see a photo of a naked woman I can google it as well; seeing such pictures is somehow boring for me, so if I'd have to choose between receiving a photo with naked person or a photo with same person but in clothes, I'd definitely choose the second option.

PS. Though I've send that kind of photo once, and received something in exchange as well, however it was different situation - we knew each other a bit and were sure nothing will "go wrong" with such material However, I was still not fully comfortable with that and I am pretty sure I won't do anything similiar again.

When I was a young and stupid teenager, I did it. I did it without worry that it would go somewhere as I never sent it over the internet and simply through text messaging. However, with today's technology and a better understanding of such things, i no longer do it at all for a couple of reasons. The first is, I have a wife and even if she wont post it, there's always an accident waiting to happen. Second, there's no appeal when i can do it for my wife in person. Third, it wouldn't happen on a cam unless there was a fully mutual and trusting conversation beforehand to where legal matters would be taken if said trust was broken.

I gave some penis pics out, even have one publicly on another site where I dressed it up as santa, it's hilarious.
No one can do any harm with a pic of just my penor since nothing can proof it's mine. I also very recently uploaded a face pic to FL, was a real hassle to do but I overcame that and did,couldn't deny the world my handsom face any longer.

Like most people who have replied, I too am quite careful who I send pictures too. I never send a face pic unless we've been chatting for a long time and I feel there's real trust there. I also don't expect pictures from others. There's lots of other ways to verify your identity without sending a picture! Especially a face pic.

I guess it's important to remember that theres a big wide world out there and you never know where you photo is going to end up! I know it's extremely unlikely that you sending a picture can end badly, but so is winning the lottery and people seem to do that all the time (not me though!).

I've send pictures of me fully nude to strangers 3 times now, but always without my face or anything else that could give away my real identity. Even if I trust someone here, I don't think I'd ever take a picture if myself including my face. Too much to loose in real life, I'm not going to risk it.

I'm astonished when I see what some people share with me, a complete stranger. I'd never share anyone else's pictures (I don't even save them) but still, people can't know that for sure about me, and I'll never know for sure about them.

I know, but you said you have too much to lose in real life yourself. How do you know that picture wasn't something a douchebag ex put online and now you're spreading it around the web so there is more chance of people seeing it?

Actually you're right. I've never thought about it that way, you can never be sure. I've changed it to another set of hand bra's and I'm pretty sure this one isn't from a douche-bag ex
