i choose not to for social reasons. i'm well-known where i'm from and can't risk this part of my life getting out into public matters. it's the unfortunate and ugly truth. the internet allows us to openly discuss and support each other without shame and outing. unfortunately, this also allows the trolls to come along for the ride.

thanks for your openness and sharing who you are. perhaps one day i will. besides, if i meet someone from here, he/she will see my face for sure.

I would hazard a guess that I'm definitely not here for the same reason as you, OP :) As for why I have no full face pictures posted, I don't know or trust the majority of people on this site. Especially not with potentially messing me up somehow with the fields I've worked and/or work in. I want my personal and professional lives kept very separate. For those who do post photos that include their face, you do you.

What you also don't know is there is many MANY predators that lurk on this site.

I've lost track of how many women have had stalkers who tracked them down in real life from
personal facial pictures.

My face and who I share it with is my own personal business.
I don't share it with the unwashed scum.

I don't have pics at all on here, but no way if I do upload any, will my face be included.

I have a very public job and interactions with a variety of people across a large number of professions and I don't need my dirty laundry being aired out.

Also the reason that nobody knows my name, and they won't.

I understand that for a lot of people it doesn't really matter, but I'm not one of them.

I always try to leave a little mystery. I'm not well known, but my husband is. And while there are very few photos of us together there are some. So I try to be careful.

And like @Fade said, I've been stalked and personal information was found. That is not a comfortable feeling, and it took me a long time to even log back on here.

We're all here for the same reason

I see you joined LPSG two weeks ago. Welcome!

In my 6+ years here, I've found it best not to assume what a poster means when he/she makes such a generalized statement like "We're all here for the same reason". So, if I may ask...

What exactly is the same reason you believe we are all here for? Why are you here?

I visited because of my curiousity and the novelty of such an interestingly-named site. Large Penis Support Group. Tee hee. Just sounded kinda funny, so I thought I should check it out. I did.

Stayed for the conversation. With some great folks. About a lot of great topics. And I've learned. A lot. From the wonderful (and at times not so wonderful) conversation.

For example, I did not know before I visited LPSG that there is a market for anal bleaching. Or that so many "straight" guys were so penis-centric; many studying and arguing about penis size down to the silly little millimeter. For pages and pages. Never ran across that in my non-LPSG life, lol.

That said, seeking out pictures/posting pictures is NOT why I am here. At all. I will look at a picture that is embedded within a thread. Like yours in the OP of this thread. Which leads me to say...

Nice beard on an attractive young man.

I just do not want to be known or identifiable here. I primarily come here for discussions.

I do the same on Facebook. I have a personal account, but my main (used) account is not associated with my person; I just use it for discussions about philosophy, politics, art, etc.

I wouldn’t want to spoil my chances of being the next PM. Theresa May is looking very wobbly.

Because I am a public figure & celebrity, I choose not to show face picture.

It is important to note - it is silly that the majority on this site do not show a face...it speaks to the shame impressed upon in our culture. I for one, admire @Nomadic for being so upfront, transparent, and honest. And that Ginger Penis, damn!!

I'm not ashamed. My personal life isn't the business of a potential or current employer, though. And I don't trust other people not to be assholes or prudes. People who I know won't go cry to an employer, I have no problem telling them I'm a former slut, wrote reviews for dildos and paddles and all kinds of things, or about this site, or countless other things.

Yes. And it’s not just men doing the stalking either....

I completely understand what @Fade and others have said about NOT showing their faces and I have the utmost respect and understanding for that. I suppose that at the time when I joined that I wouldn't have post my face either, but I've reached a juncture where I've no one to answer to and nothing to lose so I'd prefer you'd all see who you're speaking with.

I realize that this is not the premise of this site, so please excuse my boldness. Love and enjoy the conversation with you all.

My face has been visible here more often than not. I don't care to verify, nor to have it as my avatar, but you can find it. If that becomes a problem for me, I won't show anymore, just like the last time I wanted more privacy. I don't think it has to be fear versus bravery. It's a practical matter.
