As unfair as it may be, revealing your identity here could potentially have unpleasant repercussions.

One never knows what the future may hold. Why risk limiting opportunity?

As "the dude" originally referenced in this thread, I guess I might as well contribute my two cents.

I wouldn't characterize myself as brave so much as reckless. I just don't give a shit about most things the way many people do. I certainly don't give a shit what most people think about me. I'm cool with who I am and where I am in life. It's taken me a while to get here, but, well, there it is. I know my uniquely skewed worldview doesn't jive with most people's. I know as a political moderate I'm part of an increasingly denigrated minority within this country. I know as someone completely comfortable with their own sexuality and that of others I may be labeled as deviant or degenerate by your average hypocrite with a stick up their ass. I know that by thinking for myself I operate dangerously far outside of the social norm. If I happen to offend or shock someone, my attitude is they can go fuck themselves.

This is at times a big headache, but I'm simply not willing to change who I am expressly for the sake of making others more comfortable.

As far as nude pics go, I wasn't going to post any on this site. I resisted for quite a long time. I finally decided what they hey- and they got such a positive response I went ahead and left them up. The only people who might find them that it would bother me if they did would maybe be my nephews or my baby niece. Anyone else, honestly, I really wouldn't give two shits. I'm comfortable with nudity. I'm comfortable with my own body. If someone else is uncomfortable with it, well, that's their problem for one and they probably shouldn't be visiting this website for another.

I understand that the decision to post nudes could be dangerous for anyone with a public life. But I'm never going to win any elections, that's for certain. I'm not going to apply for security clearance, I'm already uncomfortable with the amount of scrutiny the government subjects me to so I'm not going to go and invite more. It's been mentioned that I listed my occupation as teacher and student.. this is because I am working toward my TESL certification at GMU (and should be finished with this by next week) while working concurrently as a substitute teacher for Fairfax County. It's true, there's a slight chance posting pictures here could jeopardize my job with the county, but I didn't really care. That was just a convenient job for me to do while finishing up school, even if I did enjoy it. The sort of teaching I plan to go into after finishing school this semester means moving overseas to teach English. It's very highly unlikely that pictures on this site are going to affect in any way my chances of securing or keeping employment as an English teacher in a non-English speaking country. Even if it did, which I have a hard time believing it ever would, I'm not planning on staying in any given place for very long. I'll sign a six-month or year long contract and then move somewhere else. If I was a public school teacher in the United States and I had settled on this as a career.... I would probably take the photos down.

Well I decided to take the plunge and post pictures of my entire body! I guess I'm working on the assumption that no one too close to home gets to see them! I'm obviously a bit of an exhibitionist and thought, yeah, why not let everyone see everything!

Good for you!!! :biggthumpup2:

Very nice, by the way.

I work in a field where I could lose my job even if it was known by others in the same field of work that I posted here. Rules and regulations or whatever you wish to call it. Some have seen my face when I cammed, but only those I trusted alot. Another reason I don't post is I am not a pretty boy. I don't consider myself unattractive but not cute enough to show my face to everyone. Probably the only baggage I have carried onto this site. You will just have to be happy (or not) with my cock pics for now.

I had one face pic (a good one outdoors, albeit with shades and a doo rag on), and a from-the-knees-up pic in swim trunks (which jeff black so graciously complemented me on). I took them down due to HeatherLouAnna's thread - more so cuz I plain chickened out, as Heather's problem was her startling beauty being appropriated.

But at the same time, I feel I can't be here without showing my face somehow... and I still waffle on it. I currently have a partial face pic in my gallery. Oh, and one of my chin dirt, too :biggrin1: Get em while they last...

I have little to lose at this juncture of my life - and everything to gain from what I've learned/read/felt here so far. If I can at least catch one eye (with another nod to jeff), and show folks what's going on behind the posts, I feel I'm returning that little bit more.

FYI - it's my eye color, enhanced by the light from my laptop screen, of which contains the only cam I own right now. Better camera = better pics = bigger dick :biggrin1:

I'm just ballsy like that. Honestly I'm slightly unnerved at the possibility of someone undesired viewing my pictures. But hey, if they logged onto this site and saw, I see no reason why we don't at least have something in common when on a plane as explicit as nudity. I don't put my face in my avatar because I don't want people to directly associate my face with my comments -- I'd rather you click further to view my personal gallery. Plus I'm not ashamed of anything in my gallery, and it's not like I'm throwing my dick in your face -- you choose whether or not to view it.

Thank'ee. Ah aim tuh please. :redface:

Any chance they'll return? I saw the two in your gallery and seriously considered a gold membership.

Careful... any more of that and I might develop a positive self-image.:eek:

(Thank you, MB.:smile: )

I have been bugging a friend of mine to take some more pictures of me (preferably when I'm tan)... when that happens, I'll assuredly post them.

Almost sounds as if you're taunting them. :biggrin1:

I think I am... *daydreams for a second of what could be done with a year's severence*

Rob, I absolutely love the "slightly obscured" picture of your face. Very creative camouflage.:biggrin1:

And I'm sure just about anyone would agree other pic is quite tasteful, and pleasing to the eye.:wink:

But I guess I have an unusually broad definition of "tasteful." To me, there is nothing distasteful about the human body, and people who posted pics of cocks, pussy, tits, ass, etc. are doing something beautiful.

I agree. I think I would like to substitute 'discreet' for 'tasteful' in my original post.

Logically, I figure, "Large Penis Support Group" + "Gallery" = not a place to post photos of my world-famous plastic dinosaur collection. Or my mug shots. The appropriate subject matter - correct me if I've overlooked something - would be the large penis. As fortune would have it, I am able to oblige. Voilà, regardez.

Good for you, bro. You're very brave. I'll never be brave enough to do that. I'd feel too, well, naked....

Well I decided to take the plunge and post pictures of my entire body! I guess I'm working on the assumption that no one too close to home gets to see them! I'm obviously a bit of an exhibitionist and thought, yeah, why not let everyone see everything!

Dude,

You're my new hero.

Your attitude is awesome. I wish I were in your position, not just with a nine-inch penis but with being so comfortable with sharing my nudity with others.

It sounds like you're very intelligent and have thought this through. I think that with what you are planning to do you will most likely have no problem. Moving around will help, but also if you are teaching English in a place like Asia or Europe, they are much, much, much more open minded about nudity and sexuality than the United States is. I don't think nude pictures would ruin a career in most places in Asia or Europe. Again, maybe if you were a politician, but not a teacher.

Bro, you are a fuckin' stud. Have fun with that big dick of yours, and never be ashamed of enjoying it and showing it off (along with your handsome face).

As "the dude" originally referenced in this thread, I guess I might as well contribute my two cents.

I admire your idealism and conviction. And I envy your recklessness.

What scares me though is that contrary to your last sentence, once you put them up you can never (for certain) take them back down.

One thing about this forum that is surprising to me is that not only do some guys join and post pictures of their penises, but some guys even post pictures of their faces. I gotta hand it to you guys who are brave enough to do this. I am thinking of posting a picture of my cock. What keeps me from doing so is that there's nothing special about it. Perfectly average. But never in a million years would I be brave enough to post both my cock AND a picture of my face.

By the way, THIS guy in my book is the bravest. He has posted a picture of his cock, face, AND a link to his MySpace account. Bro, damn I wish I were as brave (and as hung) as you. How do you do it?

I don't think nude pictures would ruin a career in most places in Asia or Europe.

It could probably ruin your career if you worked for a corporation in Japan. They feel it reflects poorly on the group if any member of the organization is seen as less than professional.

Many other places though, you are right. Also, I don't think we see a lot of members of these boards from outside of the USA, UK and Austrailia because it's an English-language website. I'm planning on moving to non-English-speaking countries.

I have toiled with the decision whether or not to leave my face pic up as well. For me, I tend to think the opposite. I work in education, too (higher education to be specific). This site, albeit questionable sometimes, is a "support group" for larger endowed men. From that stance, I think individuals could support their reasons for being on here and having face pics up. If the site were geared towards hooking up or other 'subjective activity,' then there might be reason to question things and deletion would become necessary (for me anyway).

On the contrary, I have elected not to put penis pics up for several reasons. One, that might be a divide as what is appropriate or not - in my area (field) if someone where to see me here. Secondly, I do not want everyone looking at what I am packing... If I want you to know then I will be the one to make that determination about you seeing "IT," - not the simple click, view, enlarge, etc... Call me a control freak... I like knowing who is looking at "Mr. Happy" and when they are looking.

You're a control freak.....which is not as bad as being an out of control freak! :smile:
If people like looking at cock photos let 'em look,it's only risky when you can be easily recognized.
Once you've posted a face pic (as you have) it's understandable that you don't post cock photos and vice versa. :cool:

I have posted nude pics both here and on newbienudes.com, but NO face shots. Nor will I ever post a face shot because of the field in which I work.
Not to mention the unique problems when it got back to my family as some have worked in politics. Besides, prior to a few weeks or so ago a lot more people had seen my face than my nude body.
