"We had a terrible experience, but we just didn't meet them! " OP no, but then i totally understand why some people are very cautious. As with all things it is about risk assessment and the risk you are willing to take. | |||

"Years ago we had our face pic on our profile, some friends (a couple) of 's mum printed off our profile to show her. she called us round for a chat about it. Slightly embarrassing. Asked why they were on the site and she refused to believe they were on for the same thing. She stopped babysitting for us for years. She's started again now and I think she knows but it doesn't get discussed with her, she humours our lies as to where we have been. We still put our face pics up from time to time, so lesson not learned haha." that's exactly what i was wondering. people like his mum's friends shouldn't be doing that, really, but it is so easy for it to be done. I would be fairly pissed off if i were you. Your sex lives are no business of anyone elses surely? | |||

" as the saying goes 'a dog doesn't shit on his own doorstep' " A saying I detest, hence I never meet anyone who doesn't accommodate after that was said to me. Nine years to lovingly renovate my home to invite someone in for them to say that?!! ...I digress... No one should feel pressurised into doing anything they're not comfortable with. I do get bored with the "cant have a photo up because of my job" brigade. There's nothing to prevent you having a picture in private as most of us have. I simply don't talk to let alone meet people who won't show their face. I may be missing something but what difference does the size of the community you live in make? You can't find and register on here by accident so why do people get their panties in a bunch being seen by people they know? Do they carry that same paranoia into clubs? | |||

"I don't send pics or have face pics in my private gallery. I have a cam at my convenience to show who I am to potential meets. " But yes.. My cousin is on here too.. I found out from him watching me on cam one night lol | |||

"I don't send pics or have face pics in my private gallery. I have a cam at my convenience to show who I am to potential meets. " Exactly, and that should be good enough. "You don't have a face pic so I'm not talking to you" is just rude IMO. | |||

We do have face photos and show them, when sending a message but we don't have them on our public page, as the thing with living in a small village is, that everyone knows everyone and they do enjoy a good gossip and so it only takes one nosy 20 year old to see your face pic and for you to be the talk of the village. Clubs are different, as making an account here is easy and you can remain anonymous, whereas if someone sees you in a club, they are more likely to be "real" swingers and so know to be discreet.

"Can you guys tell me why face pics are any better than showing your face on cam? For me, I'd sooner do that. A pic can be faked, or it it's real, downloaded. I value my privacy like the OP. I've had point blank refusals from people just because of the face pic issue, even though I've got the cam. " Cam isn't convenient for everyone. My cam rarely works on here, and it rarely works for me to view cams. I can generally tell if a picture is fake. | |||

"Afew points: How so freakin rude of them to take the liberty of printing out and showing to the inlaws, what truely horrible, sad, two faced people - bet they had a big smile on their face when they did it. Ive got a msg from someone I used to work with, but didn't reply or tell anyone that knew him. Had my face pic nicked and used for a fake and very saucy profile which was found by my cousins fiance - again, what was he doing there. I usually wont speak to people if they wont share a face pic. I know it's a bit harsh, but have had it a few times where I've been chatting to someone, getting on really well - and then when I've seen them, theres no attraction. And by attraction, Im not after super goodlooking people, just something semi pleasant to look at! lol And what professions would not allow you to be a swinger?? can only think of clergyman " I agree-it might seem harsh but you are within your rights to do so! I am the same, might as well send a face pic right at the beginning so as not to waste anyone's time. I agree with your comment about professions too. I hate that when people say I can't send a face pic because of my job. Sex isn't illegal! Nor is swinging. | |||

" we h8 the chatrooms on here, as they aget too busy, and the directing rooms, in our opinion, can get very aggressive, and its just not a turn on for us, so a face pic is always much preferred than cam. also, when cams get involved, people seem to think its an open invitation to 'play' on cam, and again, thats not what we always fancy. some bloke showing his face for a couple of seconds, then showing his cock and telling Em he cant wait til she gets on the end of it jsut doesnt seem to do anything for us | |||

I hate that when people say I can't send a face pic because of my job. Sex isn't illegal! Nor is swinging. " Its not the illegality of it, it's the attitudes that some people have towards it. There was a documentary on it in Ireland last couple of months and it was made out to be this sleazy underground community and that it was a negative thing if you went to swinger parties and gangbangs. As if you were sexually deranged somehow. now that's the worry i have, that someone who may share that idea, finds out that I am a member of a swinger site and treats me differently. like those in-laws who printed out that womans profile, if there are people out there going about things like that i would be concerned. otherwise i'm quite happy to send pics of my face, i just want to know how to avoid disaster! | |||

" Trust me - there's no end of jobs with clauses in the contracts relating to conduct likely to risk reputational damage to the business. Just because swinging isn't illegal doesn't mean that being 'outed' won't cause the loss of your job, much in the same way that certain professions require client confidentaility. Whether right or wrong, once the company you work for loses faith in your ability to act in a professional manner on it's behalf - you're fucked! And if you doubt this is true i know of several people who have been in exactly that situation, some of whom have lost their jobs (and subsequently their homes) and some who have had to relocate to keep theirs. | |||

"Have any users on this site had a bad experience with sharing face pics? Did it get back to people you work with or work for? Did it ruin a relationship? Did someone, who you didn't want to know about your lifestyle, find out? Just curious, as people are pressured into having face pics or not having face pics. It's understandable that people should see what you look like and vice versa, but i know there are tons of users, who have sent a face pic, or fully nude pic etc., and might never find out who the person(s) requesting it is. I don't like sending them, (but i still do after a few messages) because I may never get a job in my profession if they were ever found, which is the case with a lot of people. So i do trust a lot with people online when it comes to this. anyone have thoughts on this? " Op I so share your concerns. I never ever send face pics and make this very clear on my profile. I run the risk of committing professional suicide if they got into the wrong hands. Or what if I sent to a guy who turns out to be another parent at my son's school and things didn't work ou! Or he could be someone living in the same street etc. No No No way. If guys don't accept my point of view then things don't go any further . | |||

I find most of the decent guys are fine with it. You get a good feeling for the good ones and they are the ones who are usually fine with my POV in my experience. It's never been a problem . | |||

Sometimes its nice to be able to log on at leisure (on the computer instead of the phone) and have a proper look at a pic. Perhaps even have a second and third look to make your mind up. And its also handy to have a face pic you can have a quick check of on your phone before leaving the car and going into wherever you have your meets so that you don't walk up to some random and do your best 'should have gone to specsavers' | |||

Women are in a much stronger position than men on here so not so much pressure for fems to show faces. It does make it very unfair for men particularly if they share my views about face pics. | |||

"I don't send pics or have face pics in my private gallery. I have a cam at my convenience to show who I am to potential meets. Exactly, and that should be good enough. "You don't have a face pic so I'm not talking to you" is just rude IMO." YOU choose not to show a face pic: that is YOUR choice. Who are you to say what others should accept? If people state THEY don't want to talk to you as you're not singing from the same hymn sheet how is that rude? Are you the only one allowed set play parameters? | |||

"I can think of a few professionals who's jobs could think it was improper to be into swinging Police, Fire, Ambulance, Doctors, Nurses, Prison Service, Probation officers, Social workers and people that work or come in contact with Children and so on. I am one of them and would not want to risk my job just for sex " I am also one of the above and live in a small town. I couldn't afford to be recognised as I know that it would be the end of my career | |||
