Yes, it's acceptable to have "photo available on request" or such. But even better to have that PLUS some sort of photo that doesn't show your face in your profile. A slightly blurred picture, something that doesn't show all of your face, something that gives a feel of what you're like without making you clearly identifiable to the neighbors. There are no set ways on who may contact who. It's down to personal preference, so go with what seems right to you on it. Key things to avoid, though, in contacting potential friends and partners: cut-and-paste messages sent to more than one person, atrocious spelling and grammar, laundry lists of kinks and please-do-to-me's. It would be great if it didn't need said, but trust me it really does: Contact people with notes written specifically to them and with basic courtesy and manners in mind. Oh, and really Read Profiles of those you choose to contact. That will greatly increase your reception, but also do not be dismayed if you don't get a lot of responses. No answer is an answer and just like anywhere else in the world it's hard to find real friends and quality partners.
