Hadn't thought of it in terms of being brave at all, it's the norm here as it is at a gay nude beach, or 'hookup site'(some people here seem to be disapproving, as well as oblivious).
In my case what is normally covered by clothes is relatively better than what is normaly exposed, can't fault a person for putting their best foot forward.
I used to have at other (mybigmuscle) sites full body face and erection pix, a few months ago I cropped these. Now my profiles at various adult sites are body only, the only site I have a facepic is myspace, which is all ages and no nudity. (same user ID as here)
I am involved to the extent of serving on the boards of local nonprofits that among other things, support the GSA's, with kids as young as 13.
