One (of the many) reason why I like CM better than that other bdsm personals site is that nobody has yet sent me a picture of their penis.

First off there is a world of difference between a nude photo and a cock shot. To me, a nude photo is a display of ones whole body and their whole sexuality. A cock shot is only emphasizing their immediate sexual desire and nothing else. Maybe Ironbear is right when he suggested advertizing. The men that do this probably watch those pornos where the man walks in, shows his cock, and the girl is practically cumming at the sight of this, and so the guy thinks this is the usual response. Bottom line, men are visual creatures.

I go semi-nude 'cause I like how the pictures look ;)

That and I tend toward fetish-y pictures for this site. They are genearally less clothed than I'd walk down the street in.

I use these pictures on other sites too though./

Semi-nude (shirtless) here. I do it because I want a potential partner to have a pretty good idea of what I look like. Also, I'm comfortable with my appearance.

Considering where we are, this seems an odd question.

Can someone tell me why some Men (and women) display themselves in pictures as nude or semi-nude?

Is this really sincere question or an excuse to point out how many nude photographs one is receiving and complain about this? I mean, that is fine if it is just a gripe...but I am not sure why this would puzzle a person that has a sexy photograph of a woman in a corset showing cleavage as her avatar?

- Sexuality is often a key component of wiitwd and photographs may reflect that.
- Some people are exhibitionists and like the reactions to their photographs
- Some want what they look like unclothed out there, so the recipient can make a determination on if they are physically attracted to them up front (if that is important to the recipient)
- A minority of profiles actually require a nude or semi nude picture for consideration and state that, thus giving the impression this is acceptable overall
- They think it might turn you on and lure you in
- They have a nude or semi nude picture they think really flatters them and want to show it off
- For shock value or to prove they are "serious"

I dunno, I can think of many reasons. I rarely get nude photographs so I don't see it as a huge issue I guess.

Maybe because they are extremely comfortable in their body, and have no qualms about showing that confidence.

Myself, I do not have a semi-nude picture of myself purely out of consideration of those of you who may have just finished eating

Four or five years ago, I got a number of photos from a woman which kept getting more and more graphic. What I found odd was that she was anticipating a relationship, but sending photos of her sucking some other guy in public.

Oh, sure, I want that image in my mind.

I don't want to see someones genitals in the first picture. I want to see the person...clothed! If we hit it off and develope a relationship, then I want to see it as much as I can. Whether it's a sex site or not..why put it out there. You can easily send it in an email personally when appropriate. Some men just shouldn't show their dick..I would be ashamed of it! LOL!!!

Respectfully but in good humor...

(laughing) It was that photo of the naked goat that put me off!

Hmm… Let's see… How's this… A photo of going down on me! Ah yes, that would work! Yum.

You may be more right than you immagine foxglove. I hear a large number of stories from the people I'm talking to, or more accurately, listening to as a counsellor. It appears that, and I've heard this from quite a few youngish guys themselves, that all a woman wants is a large hard cock and she will fall into a leg spread possition or at least come beggig for sex. This myth is one I grew up with and has been handed down in our male culture for generations. Not once have I heard anything about forplay or even wanting to spend time pleasing a woman. Most of the well ghung young bucks appear to believe they are God's gift to women. Ok that is also part of growing up and in that sence is fine, however when they start to believe that the immage they have of themselves in the dunny is in fact reality and thus it is likely that they are the ones who want to display their One Eyed Trouser Snake (I've even seen pics of guys Pointing Percy at the Porcelane to impress ladies).

Just consider those who want to show you the only part of them which may have a brain in it's head, as poor delusional buggers who can't organize a fuck in a brothel and need you applause.. If you like what you see, have pitty and send money(Monopoly Money is good) rather than embarased comments that way they can at least be income earning cyber whores....
