FabSwingers.com forum: Photographs on profiles

By (user no longer on site) OP

Can anyone explain why there is such a tendency to show close-ups of genitalia in profile pictures? We all know what ladies and gentlemen's nether regions look like so why don’t people post erotic photos or full body pictures?

I prefer to keep mine private to be seen in person...each to their own but I think some things are best shared privately

I think the close ups should be kept private. You could show pictures of you the act say, particularly if it's involving some kind of kink so as to say "this is what I'm into" for those who just look at the pictures. We don't need to see 10 different angles of someone's nether regions to know it's a sex site.

In saying that, if you wanna show your bits off that's your choice. Some people might actually find it empowering or displaying themselves like that might even be their kink.

It is abit critical OP

But I also prefer pics that show more than just genitalia or a close up of one boob!

I'd guess that they either really think that it is sexy, don't feel confident enough to show more of their body or maybe they don't have the imagination to be more creative.

doesn't mean we don't either. Some people want to show them... some don't.. others don't want to see them. Yet I know lady friends that won't meet without seeing a cock photo.

It's like I personally enjoy creampie photos.. many others find them vile. There is something for everyone and everyone is free to show or not show what they like.

Think mine open pictures I'm pretty much covered but a few more baring one's are pvt.

I can't really say why others do maybe they can be more confident on here.

I think a good mix of pictures on profiles is best. The ones i don't get are close-ups where you're not quite sure exactly what it is you're looking at.

Some do, some don't, some post both, some post neither.

And whilst 'we all know what ladies and gentlemen's nether regions look like' in general it's definitely true that some are prettier than others, they come in all shapes and sizes, some are furry, some are smooth and some look like they've recently had a hot date with a blender.

To some genital attraction is as important as facial.

Nowt queer as folk.

Because the majority would not feel body confident enough to do that.

Hence why you get pics from all angles. Trying to mask their perceived negative bits.

Photos are here to attract. I suspect many do not think they can produce attractive if they fully reveal. Not for all but i'm sure for many. If honest.

Because they think it's "naughty"

Because some blokes think all women look at the man meat and think "I don't care who owns that wang, I can't survive without it.....give it to me NOW"

Its personal preference I suppose, I do look at pictures and bypass some very very quickly (think bulldog eating mayonnaise) but those that leave something to the imagination and get the mind working, might just get a fab.

I also agree with others that it may be a body confidence thing, but we will never know.

The site is about making an initial judgement on people based on what we see and read, so in a sense, close up pictures simply act as a filter for some of us.

I agree, for me it's like a book. The enjoyment is finding out what happens next. If I knew the ending, why read the book.? I keep those pics in my friends folder.

I dont understand the revulsion of genitalia in general...and I particularly dont really like people who think because they dont like something as such, it enables them superiority or call it 'classiness'

Because some people are turned on by close ups or by exposing their genitals.

I like the irony of the 'air of mystery' on undressing someone when supposedly we all know what our bits look like anyway.

Can be a bit of self expression, empowerment, can be laziness or just beause we want to.

I now have an image of someone getting to the big reveal and a look of wonderment and awe at what they behold

There's plenty of horrific people too with horrific attitudes spouting thinly veiled body shaming comments. How about we leave folks to run their profiles how they want to and everyone else does the same.
