One of the joys of the UMD is the content that is shared here by couples of their messy adventures together.

Mrs Piechap is shy, and camera-shy in particular - even in everyday life - so it's not something I would envisage ever even broaching with her. So because this is pretty alien to my own experience, it is something of a fascination to me. In a different thread a while back I asked about the motivations of those who are kind enough to share content here. In this thread I'd like to enquire if I may about the practicalities and dynamic in couples of agreeing to share content here.

For example, if you're someone who's been lucky enough to be able to share pics/vids of a partner/lover/friend on the forum I'd be really interested to hear about things like:

How did you bring up the subject, and what was their reaction? Or perhaps your partner suggested it?

Did they have concerns and if so how did you address them?

Were they excited/nervous/indifferent ahead of their pics appearing here? Were they interested to know how they had been received?

Did sharing content here change anything about your future wamming together?

I realise these are quite personal things to ask, but if anyone would feel comfortable sharing any insights it would be fascinating to hear them. Thank you so much.

I can certainly see that being a very difficult conversation to have.

For us, it is a personal choice not to share photos. Once it is out there, it is there forever. Not the type of thing my associates or family would understand.

I have seen a lot of people leave the forum because of this. If you are in any way vulnerable, I would not do it. I have seen conservative ass holes use this site to get revenge on people. I have seen it used in custody disputes. I have seen it used for any kind of public shaming you can think of.

I think I can understand where your partner is coming from. I am not camera shy, I am anti picture. To my knowledge there are only a handful of pictures of me online and they were places I could not control. I know my reasons for being this way do not make a lot of sense. One of them being I see pictures as a waste of materials and situation. So many times have I seen concerts where people with shitty phone cameras are trying to capture the moment and completely miss out on the experience and aren't in the moment.

One thing I have seen a lot of people do is share pictures from the neck down as well as pictures where a pie has already covered their face and barring any tattoos or markings etc they can still remain pretty anonymous. Yes absolutely enjoy WAM and if there is a way that you and your partner can share it in a way that you both feel safe do it. But make sure your partner feels safe with it.

Messmaster has done an AWESOME job working on keeping this site from Google search and has worked a lot on making sure that there are privacy options to control who can see what content.

OMG this, this, and THIS AGAIN. I personally am lucky in this respect because I frankly don't give a shit, and I really have nothing to lose. But others DO. It's a shame that stuff like this needs to be considered, but it absolutely does. This was one of the offenses that got 95% of the content in PornHub removed and almost destroyed them completely.

And if you don't think that stuff like revenge porn is hurtful or bad, there have been PORN STARS who have committed suicide over it, and or constant bullying. Emotional attacks can cause unseen damage far more insidious and hurtful than a punch to the face.

So keep this in the back of your mind when you're enjoying content here. Every model, every person sharing, has a life and their own circumstances. There are differing levels of vulnerability that these people accept in posting online.

Please be respectful of them because we have lost innumerable people here from others that couldn't do that.

I obviously have pictures on here, and so does my fiance on her own profile, none are clean, the way we handle it is we take pictures during our sessions and decide to post or not. It's been years since she posted anything but I personally enjoy posting pictures. We also sometimes just get into it and forget about pictures.

Thanks for the responses so far. Just to clarify, me and Mrs P aren't thinking of suddenly taking the plunge and posting pics here on the forum - a lot of the reasons for caution mentioned already resonate with both of us, before you get to the shyness. But useful to be reminded of how grateful we should all be for the content that is shared here.

Would still be great to hear from others who have shared pics - hopefully some positive stories to be shared too.

Well now that pornhub did their newest thing anything that isn't from a confirmed acct got ripped down. I had our second video get posted on PH and it took about 36 hours to get it taken down with a DMCA and apparently they keep the data on file so it can't be uploaded again thank god cuz within 48 hours of it being up it got around 500 views. That being said the poster was found on umd and booted (ty MM) and I didn't ever see it go up again. Also if you ever find anything online, there's a piracy report link to help content creators get their pirated work removed from the major video sites. That being said PH is pretty much dead now which sucks for non checkmarked SWers and other amateurs. I could continue but I'll end here.
