We don't want everybody knowing what we look like in case a member of the family or friends finds out. We have our faces on here and send them via email that way we can a least have a small amount of control of who see them.

I can see where and why some of the answers are genuine, especially with family and work issues. I was just curious whether or not some of the members on here were embarrassed or ashamed of the "lifestyle" they had chosen to go down.

Fair enough but how can they know what you look like prior to wanting to arrange a meet up ?

I used to be very careful and private. .. It didn't help as I was outed in a dramatic way 2 years ago to my employer. .. went through a disciplinary hearing and all sorts. ... so I don't give a stuff now! It's not illegal and I don't consider it immoral. All my best friends know and my colleagues. Shrug.

Once on the internet, there forever. I have kids and I won't embarrass them. So there you go!

Actually, the question for me is more... why would you have a face pic? Even if you're totally happy with the whole world knowing now what you get up to, will that always be the case? Imagine rocking up toa job interview in 20 years time and them shoving your pic across table as a discussion point.

We were outed some years ago and it wasn't a pleasant experience, as we have grandchildren at our village school. We now only meet at parties, in this country, or clubs abroad, so we don't have to have face pics on here.

A clever person,who has mischief in mind,could do something with it. Plus,they can see you in the street and follow you home; to your place of work; to your children's school; to church etc.

And if not sacked, life made so uncomfortable by those you work with that you have to move to a new one some distance away.

I had FB long before my current job. And I like to use it to keep in touch with old friends as I have moved around a bit and so have my friends.

You want to be the person who sues and then goes back to work with the same people after all the details of your sexual exploits have been made available in public to everyone? I don't.

You do know that you don't need to be a member of the site to read the forums right?

So, its also easy to become a member, giving you access to profiles... and, by extension, pics.

Some people take great delight in outing others when they find them on sites like this.

Possibly, even probably.

And?

As I'm sure you're aware, rules and what actually happens are two things only loosely related. It is harder for employers to do what they want but still possible. They perhaps wouldn't slide the pic over, they'd just not bother employing you after the checks found the pic. Don't forget, many (most?) employers of any size check online presence as part of process. And they're good at it.

We can mull over the details but the reality is that, for loads of people, being found on here would make their employment untenable for one reason or another. That might be legally questionable and, perhaps, morally wrong but it is the real world.

I don't have a good reason to hide my face so I don't.

Many people deem that they do so they hide theirs to the general public.

Everyone's life is different and everybody thinks differently so the risk assessment of showing their face is different.

It doesn't show shame in their chosen lifestyle. It's just far easier to not risk your boss/lecturer/kids teachers seeing it or whatever. There's nothing morally wrong with swinging but those who do it should be aware there are plenty out there that will look down on it and their seeing such a thing might effect certain relationships..

Some aren't bothered by that. Some find it easier to just sidestep it using a little discretion.

There's no right or wrong answer..people do what they do.
