How risky is it to post face pics?

[Privateman]

I think it is very risky to show your face in pictures. I have loads of nude pictures of my good lady and have posted them on another site. Never with her face showing. I did trade pictures with a guy on another site with faces showing, it was a huge turn on but to be honest I regret it now. My wife knows about the posting and trading but we have agreed not to do it anymore.
A good few years ago she was going to pose for a readers wives magazine , but she backed out, in those days it was all printed material so it seemed safer. I wonder what would have happened if she had gone through with it.

Current technological developments include facial and location recognition eventually available to all. A prospective employer might put the candidate's image through one and find your nude or sex pics. Or a doxxer, puts the nude picture through facial recognition and up comes your Facebook page.

OK this is planning for the unplanned - maybe I'm just paranoid.

This is very rational and not paranoid AnonJohn. You're living up to the promise of your icon, lol.

I will say though, I don't think the concern is employers much so much as it is normal people. If I could put my female friend's faces through a simple search engine and discover nudes of them, I'm pretty sure I'd spend one night staying up til 3 AM systematically searching. There wouldn't be any malicious intent here, I'd just love to see some of them naked...b/c you know...I'm a human male. Multiply that logic by a whole lot of other pervy males, and suddenly, there's a much bigger problem.

Or...who knows. Maybe the U.S. just eventually realizes that everyone is infact naked under their clothes, and nudity starts becoming less stigmatized. That way, people's lives aren't ruined just because they posed for nudes and happened to trust the wrong person.

You never know. There's a thread on here that has reposted a lot of personal adds from old swingers' magazines from back before the Internet. Some people keep stacks of those kinds of magazines in the back of their closets for years.

It is not difficult to find scans of old readers wives so you make a good point. We do wonder what happened to the pictures we sent it, we made it clear that they were for "audition" not publication. They were posed like typical readers wives pictures open leg but not pink.

I could very easily lose my job for posting nude pictures of myself on the internet with my face there for all to see. Also with my face as an identifier I could not relate many of my experiences here.

I had quite the adventurous past and I have enjoyed sharing what I have so far, but if my face is shown it would identify some of "my partners" in those experiences. I have been "pressured" into having sex to keep a job as I related before. IIt is not something I ever want to happen again and there are guys that would ruin a woman's life because he thinks he is dealing with a "wh*r* -- in his mind" anyway.

over the years I have been looking round the net , I have found a couple of photos that look like girls I no,
There again, I am still not shore, hair a different way , colour, is it the angle of the photo , is it her ,
Would I say any thing to them no,
could it be them when younger not shore .
Look at flickr pages and pages of nudes how many of them do you see walking down the street, more to the point would you say anything , more than likely no , even with the so called internet girls that post pic after pic of them self's, day after day would you no them,
Unless you were that person that sits next to them at work every day,

To show the face is a risk to pose nude is brave and post it ,
Many have and tried to remove pictures from the net, one springs to mind was at fantasy fest happy to have photos taken and now has got most removed some turn up from time to time ,

When posted photos stay around for years , even if you try to get them all deleted ,
A lot of years in a life time

I think my greatest fear would be of family finding her posted on some site. I have adult children, both sons and daughter, searching the web all the time. I am not so sure I want them to discover their mom out there, naked and enjoying herself. At least without the face being shown, there is a reasonable amount of plausible deniability.
I would doubt that a random tattoo or small amount of background would be a key factor in recognition. (I don't think anyone is really looking at the surroundings. LOL.) But, seeing a recognizable face would really spark attention.

I am not going to lie, after seeing the post you were quoting the other day I searched for a facial recognition search engine. I did not find one that worked but I have to believe it is not that far away. I have a bunch of people I will search when the technology becomes available. I say "when" not "if" because it will just be a matter of time. I will not say anything to the people but I just have a perverted curiosity.

Personally, I wouldn't chance it. Especially if it's an ex. It could fall under revenge porn laws, and then you have to explain to your neighbors how you're on a list for the rest of your life.

Or we wouldn't get such a rise out of it. Scares the hell out of me to be honest and have only done it a few times. That initial rush is usually followed by some intense guilt which is then followed by me taking down the pics and searching to see if the went somewhere else. I know that it's unlikely that someone would recognize her but it they did and caused a stir, my question would be "what were you doing on that sleazy porn site anyway?"
