What kind of profile photo do you prefer?

[wolfnblu]

I'm talking about profile pictures here.

Ones that show the posters in everyday clothing, fully dressed?

or

Ones that are more sexual? Little or no clothing, provocative poses, etc.

We're new here, and just wondering how best to present ourselves. I'm thinking we shouldn't be so..."out there"...because that doesn't really feel right for us. Guess I just answered my own question, huh.

We prefer to see the "whole" person. Clothed or naked does not matter so much but we do not want to see just a close up shot of their "package!"

When people send us nothing but the close up shots we delete them. If that is the main picture in their profile then we just move on and don't bother reading.

If a person feels that their best shot is a close up of their dick then we are not interested at all.

We belong to several boards, and the underlying issue that is paramount on all of them is that swingers are not porn stars. By that I mean we are everyday people, with kids, jobs, bills, and all the problems that go along with 2005. That being said, we seem to have better communication skills with our partners, as well as the increased libido to actively act out our fantasys. That is why a full picture is so important. If you are proud of your breasts, or have great legs, be sure to include them, but if you can't show your face to compliment the rest of those wonderful parts, you are incomplete. I see so many "amateur" clips that are shot from behind, and all you see is this ass moving up and down on some legs. Maybe for some, but doesn't do anything for me. Show me a face, with expression, as well as the 'up and down', and that's sexy.

Sorry, got a little long winded, but I think swingers are a lot more classy and discriminating and want a whole person, not just parts.

Dito! My sentiments exactly. I keep hoping that enough men will read posts like this one, spread the word and it will stop!

I love to see pictures of couples that are real. Provocative, clothed, whatever... just real pictures in real settings. Candid pictures are the best I think.

And seeing the whole person (people) is good.

I agree with VegasLee, we do not like shots of just your "package" (man or woman). That will turn us off immediately!

We prefer to see a little skin (normally neck to waistline) so we can see what your body REALLY looks like. Full body shots with skimpy clothes or with out clothes are fine as long as they are done tastefully. Leaving a little to the imagination is good. We do not post face pics where just anyone can see them but they are part of our private pics that we will open to those that e-mail us that we want to go farther with. I agree with the other post that a face is very important and tells a lot about people and we meet no one with out seeing their faces first. But I understand if that is reserved for only those you plan on getting to know better.

I prefer to see the person before the body so to speak. I really hate when someone sends me a pic or the pic in the profile is nothing but a cock/pussy shot. A little warning would be nice, since some of us do have little kidlets. Thats a side issue though.. I just dont think that a persons best side is ever what is between thier legs. I dont pick my partners that way.

[HotMoCpl]

Naked photos? No way! We want you folks to see us the way we are everyday. By the way, that's the way I want to see ya'll too. Just 'cause your naked doesn't mean I'm getting it on with ya.

[Miss_Piggy]

I am incredibly turned off by close up shots of certain body parts - I'm constantly surprised about what some peopel think the rest of us want to see. Are there people out there who truly appreciate the dick or pussy close up pictures?

I hate the close up pics of people genitalia but in the same aspect I would never put a picture of my face on the internet. If I talk to you or chat with you and then feel comfortable sharing those pics, I then will give you pics of my face.

Discreetness is essential to me. I am complete but I just don't care to show my whole body to everyone and their dog. I would never consider meeting anyone without seeing facial pics first and I would never expect someone to do that with me either. But I will share those pics only with people I feel comfortable with and know that there is a great potential to meeting in person.

[EmpyreanPleasur]

I didn't think the original question was about closeups of genitalia, but about sensual/sexy/provocative pictures as opposed to ones we could show our parents!

Now, I too HATE the genitalia pictures...though I've seen some very intriquing and beautiful erotic pictures of people here and elsewhere with little to nothing on.

On the other hand, I am just as happy seeing a "family" type photo. I agree with VegasLee...I like to see the whole person, no matter whether the shot is provocative or casual.

[BradAndJanet]

What I really like is to see people laughing and having a good time. Happy people are sexy.

lol I dunno... i think you might need to show a little more skin

[DBL D]

We like a little of both and we have some of each on our profile...as private pix!

We may send a private photo to someone in an e-mail to let them see our faces. We will usually tell them that our privates show genitalia. Some of them are close ups. All tastefully done and edited by Fem D before the decision is made to install them as part of our private profile.

There really is soooo much more that goes into desiring to know someone though. Photos may be an initial turn off if the photo isn't a good one or it doesn't show the person in their best light. In our opinion, (we caution you) that is NOT the end of the deal. You start to chat and find out about their personalities and grow to like them through that way. Then the initial disinterest may turn into interest...Phone calls (something that doesn't happen enough) should be made to hear the voices and to be sure that everyone is on the same page, but that too can change over time. One thing we have learned in the past few months is to never judge a book by it's cover.

Anyway, that is my two cents worth.

NO! not too tame. I'm much more comfortable with a pic like that than one that's so "in your face." :kiss

Oh, and BTW this is Blu of wolfnblu.
