Taking pictures during sexy times can be really hot. I've done it quite a bit, but stick to two simple rules: either face or naughty bits in the pic - never both at the same time...and the pics are deleted the day the relationship ends.

How about 'Take all the pics or vid you want but DON'T POST THE DAMN THINGS!'
That just might work...

"and the pics are deleted the day the relationship ends." -Jesper

hahahaha... don't make me laugh.

as IF you have control of this.

And how many of these uploads are done by jilted lovers, the ex's NEXT lover or whatever.

TIME is the key. What seems amusing or hot this moment may be embarrassing or stupid in a minute, and you can't take it back. It is infinitely worse if there are physical records of that. IT the EXIST, then there is the potential for them to be used against you...

or accidentally replied all on the office email, telling the whole company that you like to be whipped at home...

and then HR ask why you are harassing every female in the company by sending that email...

follow to it's logical end.

It is this potential that makes it hot, just like doing it publicly, because the potential of being caught is the thrill.

Until you lose your job, or your kids over it.

SwissArmy D - you beat me to the punch. Yep, how many times do we hear about a jilted ex "publishing" those pics - all the time, man, all the time!

Amy is absoltuely right on this - if you don't take the pic then if will never show up on the web. period. (photoshopped pics don't count, do they?)

ahhhhhh. the blessings of freedom, modern technology, and timeless human nature. Thank god for our god-given rights, including our god-given right to be stupid. Without these rights, there would be no literature, no drama, or, worse, no need for Amy's column. The world would be a crashing bore. Thank god for stupidity. We are the richer for it.

Amen, Jim.

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

Paranoid? Polaroid!

Perfect, Gog.

Polaroids (from what I've read) didn't help Dr. Laura . . .

" Internet publication of nude photos

In 1998, Schlessinger's early radio mentor, Bill Ballance, sold nude photos that he had taken of Schlessinger in the mid-1970s to a company specializing in internet porn. The photos were taken while Schlessinger was involved in a brief affair with then-married Bill Ballance.[76][77] Schlessinger sued after the photos were posted on the internet,[78] claiming invasion of privacy and copyright violation. The court ruled that Schlessinger did not own the rights to the photos; she did not appeal the ruling.[79] She told her radio audience that she was embarrassed, but that the photos were taken when she was going through a divorce and had "no moral authority."[76][80]"

these articles always leave out the most important information, the web address

I tried to upload naked pictures of myself onto the internet. I got a rejection email!

"If they are on your phone or your computer, their distribution may be out of your control (if your phone or computer are ever connected to the Internet, and I'm guessing they are)."

This is pretty darned funny. That people think that everyone's computer or phone is at the beck and call of every malefactor out there. The sad truth is, those pictures that turn up on "parasite" sites were posted to the 'net by somebody. ever been on Tumblr?

Does anyone remember Napster?

Many parents would use their computers to do taxes with TurboTax, checking accounts with Quicken or MS Money, etc. and have a generic account for everyone in the house. Then the kids would install Napster or similar software and share the music from the "My Documents" folder instead of the "My Music" folder.

For all intents the single account and the "My Documents" folder made the limit on what could be downloaded to everyone's personal info on the local workstation.

Then there was the war driving scheme that went on for a long time. (And I still think it goes on.)

People will get broadband and then put in a wireless switch without a password. That means that the access to the internet is open. It also means that the access to all the computers on that switch are also accessible in a form or fashion. Without a password and accounts, you have full access to the drives on the local PC's.

There are so many holes in PC (and MAC) security that no one is aware of that it is scary. I'm a white hat and if I happen to spot them, I pass it on to the end user. But even then I, as an IT professional, compromise them, sometimes, on my own network for the sake of end-users. I generally don't make any compromises that will cause me to see the inside of a federal or state correctional institute.

[i]People can pretty easily hop into your computer and yank stuff off of it.[/i]

No. It's not that easy. I've only taken a single nudie on my cell, though. Of a woman who absolutely did not care if the whole bloody world saw her naked. Phones are tricky.

[i]hahahaha... don't make me laugh.

as IF you have control of this.[/i]

Since I'm the one with the pics, I pretty much have control of this. And, guess what - if the pictures never display my face, I don't really care that much. So what if they get on the internet? A picture of a naked, skinny dude with an awe-inspiring erection but otherwise without any distinguishing marks of any kind? Well, that's not me! Even if it is.

I simply, flat out refuse to live my life in fear. If I'm going to not do anything that could end badly, my life would suck. Some of the best things I've done, could have ended horribly wrong. But I try to keep things in perspective, and think about what are the worst possible consequenses? How likely is it that things will actually go that bad? And how much do I want to do this? I don't wear a helmet when I carry out the trash, even though I could trip and crack my skull. Not worth the effort. And I never drive without my seatbelt, because that IS worth the effort. But the actual risk of someone finding pics of me naked, without my face on them and posting them online? Not very likely and not a big problem if it happens. Cause that is not me on those pics.

"There are so many holes in PC (and MAC) security that no one is aware of that it is scary."

Here's something to look at: Select the "Shields Up!" option to profile your machine on the Internet.

Note that sometimes, your router is the thing reported.

"If you don't take the naked pix, they can't see your bits. Problem solved."

If they had this stuff in my day, I could never be president.
