Nudes or "action" photos

Does everyone think it necessary to show nude or graphic photos? Do you request them. If you do why?

Here's my opinion. I let you see my face. I give you head to toe pictures of me in form fitting clothes so that you can see my shape. From that you should have an idea if you are interested. Then I am asked if I have "any more" pics. If you aren't interested enough by what you have already seen why should I have to put myself through that extra mile?

My husband says that maybe it's the excitement of actually seeing pictures of naked people that you find attractive and can actually talk to. Unlike Playboy or the like where it's purely unattainable.

Not a need for nude photos as far as we are concerned. We will not be sending any, and sure don't expect any in return. What you are offering is very tactful, and more than we require.

Both Mr Sav and I are camera buffs, we love taking photos. That being said we try desperately to keep our photos classy and tasteful. In our entire collection of photos in our swing profiles there is not a single GRAPHIC photo, for that matter I don't think we have many in our private stock for our own pleasure. I'm not your OB/GYN and I do not need to see an 8 x 10 glossy of your privates, for that matter if that is the only kind of photos you send me I will assume the rest of you is unfit for viewing; after all you know yourself best.

Our public photos do not contain our faces, we keep them locked to open at our discrection, meaning if we're not interested in you there is no reason to see more of us lol. We get our share of "please can I see more of your photos?" and I am also sure that IF we give them access a lot of them are vastly disappointed to learn that they aren't more graphic they just show our faces lol.

Never do anything you aren't comfortable with, the net is full of photo collectors who will never want to meet you they just want to stare/drool or do whatever men do with naked photos of strangers they can't have. (wink)

We don't need them either. I don't ask and I don't give. IMO...the actual nudity is reserved for the ones that we choose to play with.

I just thought of another gripe I guess you can say. Why do most couples profiles only have pictures of the women in sexy attire and poses? Don't they know that there is another half that needs to approve? And frankly from our experience exploring profiles it's the men that usually are the deal breakers. It's seems there are more decent and sexy looking wives than there are decent and sexy looking husbands.

I tried to take photos of Mr Sav he just flat out refused to wear my high heels, thigh highs and sexy undies (SMIRK)

Same goes for us. We won't share nude photos of either us of and we will never ask for, nor expect, nude photos from others. Anyone asking us for more pictures is told politely once that we don't share more (and no nudes). If they keep pushing we move on.

Silly woman! But you know what I mean.

BTW I did check out your profile on SLS.....You show plenty! There shouldn't be a need for "more pictures". LOL

Just speaking for my wife and I, we prefer a swingers' profile to have ordinary, everyday, G-rated pictures. After six years of casting our lines around direct-contact Web sites, we have learned to associate X-rated views of writhing genitalia and other private parts with fraud and deception. Anyway, we delight in the pleasant surprises that happens when we first "unwrap" a new sex partner.

I am in complete agreement with this.

I hate those close up pictures of privates. Most of them are so unappealing, it makes me not want to know who that is attached too.

I have seen some very nicely done action photos, but I don't expect it, I like them better after we know them. I think those should be saved for the people you know and like. Otherwise it is just giving away free porn.

When it comes to the G rated pictures, well I do prefer PG. Give me a sexy smile, a suggestive pose, cleavage, a nice ass. A manly or fun pic of him too please.

Any photograph ought to say something about the subject beyond "parts". Well-dressed and winning expressions are preferable to poorly composed fuzzy images, with or without clothes. A few photos that show a sense of style, a sense of humor are also welcome. Does that exclude a nude shot? No. But art, not an anatomy textbook, please.

Honestly, I get more than a little creeped out when I see a profile pic consisting of a penis, and when it's someone who's been looking at our profile- on the site that shows us who's been looking- I'm REALLY creeped out! However I assume that once they look at our profile they've read the line about how if they present themselves to the world with a picture of their genitals, we are NOT going to be compatible, they decide not to pursue us any further. Phew!

For us a picture that shows what the couple looks like is all we require. I (guy half) do enjoy looking at the sexy pictures but not a requirement for us t meet. Face pictures, pictures of the couple together, body pictures (g rated) are enough. The nake pictures are not a turn off for us though. Nude or action.

My point of view on this subject has definitely evolved. I used to not really enjoy seeing nude or action pictures, particularly the dreaded cock shots or the even more dreaded "here's what my cock looks like in her hole" shot. But as time goes on, I have come around on at least the nude shots, even some cock shots if someone's body really turns me on.

As long as the shots that show body type are there, clothed or unclothed, that's enough for us to know whether we're interested in exchanging face pictures and going from there. But I've come to enjoy some nudes and even cock shots. Most action shots don't do much for me. They have to be done tastefully. But when they're there, if they're not awful, then to me that sends the message that this couple actually plays.

When you adopt a dog or a cat now there is usually an interview and an adoption fee. The fee is there not necessarily to carry the business, it is there to qualify you as being minimally capable of taking care of this animal.

I think requesting action shots is the same thing. It is some sort of qualification confirmation. I think it is stupid. I would never ask for one.

Now a nude photo is a little different. A lot of times you want to not waist your time and possibly avoid an award situation. When you are ready to get down to it and you see the other person naked for the first time, you don't want to puke now do you?

I get requests from females a lot for nudies and the latest one, who is distant at the moment (yes, a new long distance romance I guess) is interviewing me and guess what she wants to see? Should I say? I don't want to be rude BUT she wants a cock shot with a tape measure AND she wants to see it cum.

Since I am already having fun with this, how can this hurt? The head and the body shots are separate so they aren't going to wind up anywhere that matters. Just another picture of a naked headless guy and another dick cumming?

Gross? TMI? Maybe, but to the point, no?

Even Ladies ask to see what is most important to them these days. Remember, there are all kinds of swingers. Sometimes you need to negotiate the rules personally? Sometimes that's half the fun? Sometimes being just a little perverted helps? Normal is so boring...vanilla?

that his couple actually plays... I think that sums up our view on it.

Enjoy seeing the nudes or action shots but more often than not, it doesn't make me want to meet someone.

We both enjoy more sexy and suggestive shots than graphic and overt. Love sexy lingerie. Way sexier to see a couple dressed for an evening out, even if it is just jeans or a pretty dress than a cock and a soda can or a spread open pussy or worse for us seems to be the women who post the "rusty crack" ass shots.

Leave a little to the imagination and something to look forward to when you meet and play.

This statement may cause a little controversy but, depending on the pic, some that we have seen give us an immediate low class vibe if it's too graphic. What makes you hot at home or in your fantasies is fine, but if you are using these pics as a selling feature or marketing tool, you may be sending the wrong signals.

Definitely not required. I'd rather see a full body clothed shot of you any day.

I agree with The Fuse. Nude and even action shots can be well done and if so are a pleasure to see. Necessary, no, but can offer insight that no clothed photo can.

We don't show action shots on Swing Lifestyle, unless you consider kissing and loving touch between the two of us in a hot tub action shots. I love photos where it is obvious that you are nude but much is left hidden. Thus the hot tub photos.

Fully dressed photos can be divine also. Being a photographer, well done photos that offer insight to your personalities are the very best yet somewhat less common.

Not required, but we like them for 2 reasons....1)we both enjoy the raw sex side of this and porn pics are fun 2)if the couple is real, they often will have pics to prove it and the pics can be a "truth in advertising" tool

I think this varies by location and online site. For us, SDC and south Florida, this is pretty common. We will continue to refine our profile to have more flirty and fun pics, but we will always include action pics too. What can we say, we are exhibitionists and enjoy that aspect too! (wife is nodding )

What I can add to this is not to assume the other couple wants to see them. It can be "off putting" to some.

Necessary? No. We're only looking for single guys and it gets kind of old to see endless pictures of their "stuff" but nothing else. One guy recently even opened his pictures and all it was was his cock laying on a picture of a naked woman on his bathroom counter. Ew and no thank you. I may be in the minority, but to me most of them look pretty much the same. I'd much rather see a body shot, with or without shirt is fine, and definitely his face. He doesn't even have to be super hot or anything, but I want to see his smile. I feel like you can tell a lot about someone from their smile.

As for our profile, the public pictures are not nude. Two of the three are suggestive but don't actually show anything. I have gotten a ton of requests for access to my pictures, even after I've politely said I'm not interested. They do contain a little bit more, but nothing full frontal and certainly not up close and personal or action. I like being a bit of a tease and making the guys I'm interested in want more anyway, so it all works out.

Don't think it's necessary and if someone requests them my first thought is that they are likely just a pic collector.
