The only picture of me on my profile is of my backside. My profile name is a derivative of my real name...and FYI, it is not Edward.

I figure a postage stamp size avatar pic isn't at much risk of being stolen and used by anyone, so I always use a pic of myself, and have on every site I've been on for the past 13 years. In all that time only once has my pic been stolen and I made the site they used it on delete them as a fake. I reverse image search my own pics frequently to make sure they're not appearing anywhere on the net but on my sites. I also reverse image search all you guys' pics too to know who's fake here and who's not.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Yes, I have used pics of myself as an avatar image, but I am cautiously selective, don't reveal too much of who I am. Most all my avatars are music related.

i am now so tempted to steal your avi and use it as mine. *giggles and runs*
You're famously blond, and I'm famously brunette. No one would ever believe it was you.

So all my fans know. Or my admires know. The avatar on my main photo and those showing me in my bra etc. including my wet shaved pussy, is of me. Those are my real photos of me. That is not another female, that is what I look like, I am ashamed of nothing.8SHP58YRWEKulzLM

Needless to say, my avatar is not me. I generally don't want to be that "public" in my online activities, even on boards where I could be (this is not one of those). The Internet being what it is, I would generally counsel not to use a real pic anywhere (even FB). Even Beffer, much as I appreciate her lovely presence here.

Should l use the frontal face shot or the profile shot from my post office pictures?

I've snuck mine in from time to time (I even started this thread, back in the day). I think my current avatar better reflects my true nature.

I try to always use me, a few times I used something to match the season. I do not avoid telling people I am on Lush or that I write erotic stories. My friends and family know and are supportive. I guess in reality I do not want to frighten anyone the first time they might see me for real. So I lessen the shock. I usually just use the picture from my wanted poster.
I usually just use the picture from my wanted poster. There are times she is kneeling out of obedience, reverence and respect. Those are the times it is okay to stand above her. But when she is kneeling because the weight of the world is just too heavy to bear … that is when You should be kneeling beside her.

I use my actual pic but obviously only part of my face. It's mainly to protect my privacy but I did want to show in a real person...sounds weird but oh well.
Quote by sprite
just as an aside, most of my avis are not me but everyonce in a while i slip in a real one for a short time. ;)
Like this one, I presume.....LOL
I use my own picture as my avatar....as Beffer said, its a small picture and stealing it would not do anyone much good. I use to model for a "site" so my pictures have made the rounds, so at this point it does not really matter that much. If someone I know sees my pic here, or if my Manager sees my picture here and asks me about it, I will just ask them what they were doing here as well.
Force of Nature
My husband asked me not to use real pics of me outside work. For many years I was Mrs Weasel whenever I wasn't the real me. My avatar was always a weasel, including here. At a friend's suggestion I became a lady in red, and another friend called me Grace. Last summer my husband took a shot of me woking on his computer and said I could use it. I was about to go back to my regular avatar when some asshole said it was disgusting and made him sick. Good. My avatar is still me.
Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.

So what would the upside/downside be of using an actual photo of yourself as your avatar? I am tempted.
WOW...this ist an older thread isn't it? Not sure how relevant answering your question can be now.
Did you have your pics shown in your page gallery always but just prefered to not use them as your AV until now?
I can see you've overcome your temptation. Great pic of you btw.
I'm sure many peeps here are finally glad to see you if this ist the only time...smiles
Your thread has seemingly morphed into why everyone has chosen their current AV.
Many interesting reasons I can see.
To me personally I can't see any upside/downside either way if you have your own pics in your page gallery anyway.
So culling out the gossip gaggle here who can sometime so easily judge others they not even know personally isn't an issue then.
It isn't so important to me what AV anyone chooses as much that it ist not the red/white generic thing.
If someone uses their own pics for their AV great, if not that ist fine as well.
Most Lushies require their privacy here for many reasons so I can understand it.
I've been pleasured to meet 2 Lushies in person the past years, it was a fun experience I can never forget, und I can surely attribute our seeing what each other looked like und later webcamming often as one of the contributing reasons we decided to meet up.
So this can be one of the upsides I think if you've ever considered doing that.
For me though truly, if a peep ist a gute friend who ist nice to me, especially if they can play the game und sex it up in cyber?
Most I've found can not sadly.
I'm only cybersexing with them und not meeting up anyway...so it ist of little difference to me what persona they play or what they truly look like.
Lush ist a fantasy sexsite after all in almost every aspect for the majority who come here except the minority who frequent the more serious forum threads, blah blah blah, und the morning gaggle of bridge-club chatterboxes dealing out their daily gossip...smiles
As for my AV? I've been using my own pics since I first joined in 2014 until about 2018.
I had changed it already before I was allowed to come back to Lush last year.
I happened upon the gif image und I thought she was a hottie tease...smiles
We kind of look alike, most definitely like wearing similar things, und I love dancing, so it kind of fit.
Nice to finally see you though, und not worry much about taking your valuable time to reply my comment...I'm not new here...smiles
Have a fun day. Be safe und stay away from everyone there if you can until this monster can be caged.

I have revealed my face and body. two of my friends did this as well. I wrote whole stories about our reasons for revealing ourselves! I wanted to publish our stories on this site, but since they are not sex stories, I was denied.

My avatar is a picture of me in stockings and green panties.

My avatar is me. Not a face pic but it is a sentimental photo. The photos in my Image gallery are of me.

They're certainly my legs! Quicker to take a pic and post, than go looking for something online.
