Hey, I'm pretty new to all this and I'm a bit worried about something that has happened this morning. I'm a very private person and don't really share photos. I was chatting to someone this morning (gold site supporter) who was a brand new member of the site. Started off all friendly and chatty. All got a bit flirty and swapped selfies. I ended up sending a dick pic after she asked cos we seemed to be getting on really well (I'd never usually do this!). The chat all then got quite dirty. And then suddenly she disappears. Not blocked, but 'user is no longer on the site'. No idea what happened or why she suddenly just left and now I'm worried that she has my pics along with some dirty messages and have no idea what she's going to do with them. Anyone had anything similar happen and should I be worried? |

Hmm it's just a bit worrying. She even sent me a selfie to 'prove' she was genuine. I also don't understand why they'd pay for gold site support and then do that. My anxiety is through the roof at the moment! |

"She" got what "she" wanted, probably a wank at your expense. Did you ask for a selfie to be of any particular kind, for example with left hand touching the nose or similar? This is one way (not necessarily foolproof) to ensure it is a selfie and that it was taken for you.
Lesson for the future, OP- if the chat goes overly sexual very early on, the person is usually not who they claim they are. |

No, never thought to as it was 'her' idea. Hopefully that's all it is and I can move on. I just don't like the the thought of someone using my photos elsewhere, but hopefully it's not as sinister as that. All a learning curve I guess :/ |

I agree with the other poster, it's likely to be a guy who gets off on pretending to be a female and having a dirty chat... Fallen for that myself. They may have got their site membership by fleecing some other guy out of a site supporter code. Be wary about giving out info or requests for money. New accounts should be treated with caution and veris and photo veris are good to see but it's not an infallible system. |

If you were clothed in the photos showing your face if “she” ever was to try and out you just use plausible deniability and say your photos must have been lifted from somewhere else (assuming you have social media) I try and use selfies that have been on my socials so I can say I’ve been victim of identity theft 🤣 (I’ve also checked with reverse search that I can’t be identified) |

Unfortunately, we all have to accept that whatever we upload to the internet is then going to be potentially publicly available. Don't share anything, unless you are happy with this.
I think the likelihood is that someone was just using it for immediate gratification and they haven't got a copy. But it's a risk, wherever we use our material on the internet. |

Thanks for the opinions guys. Luckily the selfie was just a normal, clothed one, just a normal face pic really. Dick pic was completely unidentifiable so I guess there's not 'too' much to worry about.
It's more frustrating than anything as I don't send too many messages on here and thought I'd actually found someone close by, who I seemed to vibe with, and then that happened! Oh well, you live and you learn I guess |

It was deffo a man op.
Never send naked pics where your face can be seen, if they get shared you're screwed..
I think you have to consider what you be happy to be shared, if the worse came to the worse and someone did that.
I don't post anything too explicit here and keep my face pics in private only. We are all taking a risk when sharing pics with others here. Remember most won't share them and they are taking a risk too. |

Thanks. Yeah, I'd never send any kind of nudity which is identifiable. There's nothing that could match the selfie with the dick pic so that's one positive. Clearly being new to all of this I was just being very naive! Oh well |

Sorry this happened to you… I also get a lot of overly sexual messages from men claiming to be women. I can identify them quite quickly as I engage with men too and know how they communicate when they want something from me xx  |

Yep, that'll be a dude who's been pretending to be a lass. There are probably around 100,000,000,000 dick pics on the Internet, so I shouldn't worry too much. Look for photo verified and established folks and you'll be better off. It takes a couple of minutes to get photo verified, so never trust a couple of woman that's not got any verifications of any kind. |

I'm very careful with face pics. Need to be sure it's being sent somewhere genuine.
I doubt the pics you sent (the dickpic ones) will go anywhere troubling, unless you've a famously recognisable penis.
Always good to be careful though. |

Personally I wouldn't worry about it! One Dick photo looks pretty much like any other Dick photo.
Even if she were to do anything more sinister, it would all get lost in the noise of the Internet in seconds.
Happened to us once, worried shitless to start with but they were lost in the overwhelming noise of the Internet! |

Could be a number of things. This site has a number of issues, the same as any other internet site with human interaction.
Could be some pretending to be someone they are not, could be the other person changed their mind, their phone died, usually though the person has lost interest after pleasing themself. Could be any one of a long list of possibilities.
Chin up and don't let this site get you down. |

we have probably all had our photos, copied etc and no doubt used by guys on here, just have to be careful what photos you use on here and more careful about the ones you send in private i guess.
everyone knows the risks and legalities of using others photos without consent. |

If your pics are online they will be st*len. I did a Google search on of my pics a few years ago or of interest to see if it was used anywhere else. Found it on a Portuguese esc*rt site. Just assume anything you upload will be public domain |

This piece of advice sums it up nicely. Plus, look out for those verified by Site Admin. Anyone genuinely serious will do so and if they haven’t and you ask why you’ll have fun with some of the wonderful excuses.
There are a lot of what I can ‘local porn hunters’ that sadly add to the ‘noise’ that can exist here. But don’t despair, as you can see from the responses there’s lots of good’uns here too. |

Thanks everyone for the replies, nice to know there is a good community here! Think I just got carried away and was totally naive with the whole situation. Just need to take it as a lesson learned I guess, and just make sure I think properly before going too far next time |

It's a dude. Or it's a lady who wants to have sex but is in a relationship and got nervous. My pics and vids are on porn site taken from here. Now we go into shop and get discounts left right and centre. Everyone e knows and now we are very loved. |

This site is full of pic collectors. Try not to take the fact that someone is a site supporter that they’re any more genuine either.
We don’t really swap pics on here anymore. Most of the chatting we do is on telegram as it has features like not being able to screenshot |

It’s a common misnomer that you can be reprimanded at work for being on adult sites. It’s entirely legal and as long as everything is consensual, no illegal practices or you’re wearing your work uniform/photos at work etc. it’s not bringing the organisation into disrepute.

That isn't a theory anyone who works in certain jobs wants to test out. It might not be illegal but it can make your position untenable. Some people are held to higher standards by the general public than others. |

I wouldnt worry about it; the amountnof facepics and dickpixs ive sent out, its nothing to worry about and if anyone asks, just blame it on AI.
I come from a deeply religious family and they had heard that my facepic was up on grindr when i was younger. It was my profile as well if im honest but i just blamed it on instagram and picture stealers. Worked out for my parents when i was younger.  |

Completely agree. I was addressing the alarmist jump to “you’re screwed”. This isn’t the case and I was trying to alleviate what is already an anxious person.
One hopes that if OP or others are in one of those positions they carry out appropriate vetting and processes (I’m a very well known and googleable academic so reverse face search will bring me up).
I don’t tend to share face pics, I do video chats instead if people insist, and mainly go to clubs as they tend to be phone free zones. |

Ah I understand
I have seen threads started by teachers (or people claiming to be) asking who else is in that profession. 😬. I often wonder if they've really thought it through, especially the ones with face pictures. There are few people as hypocritically righteous as parents when dealing with those in charge of their little darlings. |

A school in Glasgow had a teacher fired because some of the teenage boys found her Only Fans account 🫣 I guess some would argue that what she does out of school hours is up to her but you would think she would have had a bit of discretion and not had her face on show 🤦♀️How could you expect the pupils to take her seriously after they seeing their teachers very explicit content  |

Imagine the dad's at parent teachers meetings. It's pretty clear from some comments on fab that *some* men don't know the meaning of discretion. |

Same happened to me. This person asked me to send a selfie to meet her. It was my first time doing that. I did sent it and then she gave asked me to meet her, I went there and there was no one. She kept sending different locations so I blocked her.
I also don’t like being recorded by a Mr whiles I have sex with Mrs but offering to suck my cock before and after sex with the Mrs is fine for me |

Whenever "females" contact me and flirt etc I do one very simple test. I ask for a camera photo of them holding up 3 fingers
No amount of headless body shots or photos of a random naked butt are going to help
Either they send the fingers or they don't.
And trust me they never can! |
