HHHmmm....

Could it be that they are..........smart, cautious, and know the risks????

Could it be that the saying "Do as i say and don't do as i do" is a rule they live by??..

Could it be that they have respect for themselves??

Could it be that they are not who they claim to be??

I think thrall & delia do have their points as said before. I won't repeat them because the point is made, and I also did a thread on it.
Did a google btw, and Rowen has over 1,5 million hits..making it a bit hard to find this particular Rowen. The MTP however brings it down to only a 1000, one them being here! So, glad the MTP will be gone soon. Also will bring this thread under attention of my playmates

Then again..a certain risk seems uninevitable.. I mean, if people really want, they can track my IPadress, in Europe a copy of every mail is saved for over a year (because we are all potential criminals) Meaning if "they" really want..
Still, that is a small risk and indeed adds a bit to the exitement Also, most of the things I've written here, people may read it. (have asked on to be removed tho)
Yes, some of it will be embarrassing at times...but let's face it, when a roleplay goes wrong or people walk in on that (it did happen once to me and my GF!) that is embarrassing too. And your playpartner taking pics while you are blindfolded...it can happen.

BTW..seems to me doms simply can be more picky..I have the impression that there are way more submissives than doms - but I can be mistaken on that.

But..for the last time.. don't make it too easy..there are people out there who enjoy hurting you. It can happen even when you are cautious, but don't present them your head on a silver plate!

Yes, I do understand the risks completely and always have but am I to think then from your statement thrall that I have NO respect for myself because I've posted pictures? Or anyone else who has, for their own reasons, posted their photos? Nice!

I don't think thrall intended to offend you or anybody else. However, we must not forget that on many pics humiliation, exposure, degradation is an issue...perhaps the main issue.

No MG that is not what i mean ...when i say "could it be that they have respect for...themselves"......

It is not saying that the ones in the pics have no respect for themselves

It simply means that they are more then happy to ask, request , and or applaud a sub for posting pics... that shall we say..are compromising.....but in the same breath.....would NEVER dream of putting themselves in the same position.....

So......again.....no pics of the Dom/me/men/Doms

So who are they leaving the burden.......and consequences too, for any fallout from the posting of said pics??

I also said........

There are many here who like to post pics of themselves. For themselves and by themselves… if that is what they want to do….. great.

That's self respect? Sorry but I just don't understand how you can call that self respect and especially in the context in which you posted it earlier. Nevermind, it matters not - just odd

And claire, I find it equally interesting that more of the Male Dom's haven't responded *rubs chin* more to ponder on the mysteries of Masters

No I wouldn't think so. Some have thier submissives post pictures, so why would they put someone else they should care about at risk. I don't think they would be that beligerent.

The do as I say part I understand, but I highly doubt that they use the don't do as I do rule.
I am required to post pictures when asked, because I am told to do it. He doesn't post pictures. I am also required to at least know the risks I take when I do post a picture and ensure my safety, but that is up to me to know that, not for him to remind me of it. Just because I am required to do something, does not make it a free for all.

Could it be that they have respect for themselves??

I would think that we all have respect for ourselves, so I am a bit confused by what you mean. And as to what Rowen said, regardless if it is humiliating, if you like it, how can you have zero respect for yourself?
I just read Thrall's previous answer, and now I understand what she means now.
But we also make choices as well, and as long as we are safe in doing so, I don't see the harm done. I am still respected and respect myself with whatever choices I make. I understand the implications that may happen with my pictures, I fully know what can happen to them. I have made my choice though, and I stick by it.

Could it be that they are not who they claim to be??

Well there is always going to be that group of people. Even submissives can do that. I don't expect a Dominant to start posting pictures to prove he is who he is.
I also won't share a picture or expect one, if I don't know them well enough.

Cadence, allow me to correct myself: I didn't mean that you, or other submissives (which I am as well, btw) don't respect yourselves when you post a pic. I fact, I have an immense admiration for the courage it takes to take those pictures and post them. Believe me that I envy and respect the courage of Slut Linda on that part.
It shows courage, it also shows devotion. BUT...that's how I look it at..many others will say different. Please don't forget that many people, even in the medical profession think about BDSM as a "sexuality disorder"

And if I offended you, please accept my apologies right here..
