Who here is open about the way you are? Do you have face-pics on here or even face profile pic? Have any of you been caught out by doing so? What were the results?

Who here is open about it on fab? Who is publicly open about it?

Did you experience any benefits of showing a face pic? What about drawbacks? Is it worth having a public face pic? What do you think?

That's a lot of questions, John.

I'm open about it. I don't, like, shout about stuff because nobody likes a shouty guy. But I'm comfortable. Others are comfortable not showing a face and they have varying reasons that are genuine and specific to them. And rightly so.

Do what you think is right specific to you I reckon, chum.

I don't have public face pics because there are alot of idiots in my area who message me with utter crap.

I don't trust that i could be recognised in the supermarket or something and attract unwanted attention from the wrong person.

I had one pic up which showed my face and got an uninvited crass message from someone saying he recognised me. My face is for friends only to save any potential hassle.

I'm quite open with friends about being on here. I used to have my face pic as my profile pic but took it down when I started job hunting. I had at least 10 times more messages when I had my face pic up, so I think it's worth having as your profile pic if you're not worried about who sees it.

This for me too. If it's someone I know in real life that's fair but some idiot who will recognise me on the train or in my area then no thanks, I'd rather not have that hassle... I did attend a swingers social at the Kensington Roof Gardens once and he recognised me purely by my lips

if that's not creepy I dunno what is

I used to have a few face pics. Was done until I got recognised by a very camp gay man at work. He mentioned he recognised me, took him a while, then he shouted fabswingers. 3 of my staff where in the office. So so so embarrassing

Reminds me of someone I met on her and she regaled me about some creep at her work who threatened to tell her boss about her private life but unfortunately he was on fab too, she'd fucked him, and she got the creep sacked.

We would never make our face photos public, as we wouldn't ever want our children/parents, family/friends knowing about this side of our lives.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

In an ideal world I would be open about it and even have a face pic in the public gallery. The reality is far different unfortunately, which forces me to be very discreet. Having a high profile role in a small environment certainly does me no favours. None of my pre fab friends or family know about my fab life either. Little risk of grief or hassle this way.

It's a woman.

But that's not the point.

In the job I do it would be most definitely be frowned upon and probably a discaplinary offence.

I was asked to do an advertising campaign for a boudoir shoot company at Christmas. I thought I'd better check it was OK.

Erm no. It would bring my "profession into disrepute" and I know of one person who got the sack for modelling underwear (same job, different place)

If someone recognises you, they may then be malicious about it, without exposing themselves.

He’s very open about it and for a global company like ours people would think it would be a big deal, but even my bosses know I’m on here and don’t have any issues with it.

I guess my job is even better when I look at it this way

I do a lot of negotiating with a wide variety of companies, and it would be incredibly difficult to not be wrong-footed if a supplier opened a negotiation with "love that photo with the dildo in your cleavage, by the way..."

I'm not particularly secretive and if someone asks for a face pic I'll share, but I wouldn't have one in my public pics.

Given my well-known feelings on monogamy most of the senior team at work will probably know my sex life is a little unorthodox, but nobody has asked so I've not discussed. Frankly it's none of their business.

As for family I don't really care. I'm single with no kids so there's not much at stake, if any of my family want to judge then so be it, no skin off my nose.

I think it's different how you've do your profile, if your face is on show and other public pics are more sedate let's say it's I can't see a prob. If your cock or pussy is out for all to see along with your face then I guess difficult situations arise.

I think bosses need to lighten up with employees pursuits outside of work - as long as they're legal.

I have face pics which as Friends Only, and would send one in reply to a message if they'd sent one to me.

I wouldn't put one in public view though - I've heard a lot of horror stories from women who have had threatening messages claiming to know them and follow them in their local neighbourhood.

Also, I was approached by someone in my local supermarket once who recognised me just from my eyes

John x

I think you will get some who are open and some who aren't. All depends on a few factors:

How open they are to friends and family - depends on the sortor way they were brought up and what cultural/social background they have.

What sort of work they do - if it's public facing like healthcare, social care, education, etc it will probably be a sensitive matter as your professional character will come into question (unfairly as this is your private affair and doesn't reflect you as a professional person, although work bosses could argue that your character and decision-making aren't trustworthy because you engage in questionable activities

and thus affect the public like patients or children).

Safety - for single women it could be the concern of having random men from fab recognising you in your area and creeping on you, learning where you work or live

I used to have face pics on here. Was easier as you didn't have to do the pic exchange. But it was sometimes awkward seeing old school friends on here.

However I don't have them on here now being a teacher. As I know of one woman nearby who got sacked for having sexy pictures on Facebook.

And even worse I work in a religious school so not only have the teaching standards of personal conduct that could be impacted by this but also the religious connotations of my school.

I have bumped into people I know in clubs too.

Not once has it caused me issues because, quite frankly, it is mh sex life and someone trying to tell me I am wrong would be wasting their breath lol x
