I like the new av! Good choice.
And I'll just take this extremely rare moment to bask in the fact that I helped solve a technical problem. lol. Trust me, that doesn't happen very often.
Bask away, DD.

OK, you asked so it would be rude if I didn't reply.
At least you've thought about it and not left the dreaded red and white default, so well done you. Other than that, I'm in the camp that thinks it looks a little aggressive, but not in a bad way. Because your user name ends in "dom", I assumed the aggression was intentional. I can't believe it would put anyone off accepting a friend request or responding to a chat so why not leave it.
It's unique and if you're happy with it then you should keep it. Oh, by the way, I didn't know they were cock rings either.
Thanks for your reply, and all of them. All of the comments are appreciated.
how about this?

Joni Mitchell (2005): "Leonard - the boudoir poet - the hungry ghost - the perennial penitent. Young girls take him seriously. I did. He seemed so worldly to me as a young woman. He gets funny as you get older. I guess I can call him Lenny now."

Thanks to Dancing_Doll for solving the "how can I post images in a forum" thing. She told me to log off and back on and it worked.
All that just to post a pic of Hank Moody wearing a cock ring on his wrist? Or is it a bracelet? A wristband?
BTW, he looks pretty 2010s. I don't look like him, but he dresses like me.

I did not think "Dom" at all, i thought studded bracelets! Motely Crue dude! , Not scary or offensive , just very eighties rock! Which is cool, if thats what you wanted to percieve.
Thanks! Definitely more a 70s & 90s rock guy, there was something about the 80s, not a hair metal guy.Ramones, Sex Pistols, Television, The Jam, Germs, X, Black Flag yeah! Nirvana, Replacements (80s?), Dinosaut Jr., NIN, yeah! Those decades start to blur after a while anyway.

The cock rings didn't ring a bell for me either being displayed on your wrist like that. The fist seems a bit aggressive as well. Since you mention you are a Dom, why not try an open hand shot, for say spanking sake? Or perhaps your hand holding a riding crop or nine tails? If you are trying to make an impact something of that nature might be more apropos. Nicely done profile which is definitely a plus.
Thanks, Rayvn.

I feel your avatar is ok especially taking into consideration your sexuality but also that if anyone who knows you saw your ''headless shots'' they would recognise you. There are a few small mistakes in your favourite authors where you quote book titles - maybe you meant D.H Lawrence. Not meaning to be picky but you did ask.
Ah the perils of copying and pasting. Until I looked I thought perhaps I had listed Zeppo Lawrence, the least known of the Lawrence brothers. Alas I put a book in the author section! Also I list Lawrence's book Lady Chatterley's Lover in the the book AND author section. NP, picky is good. I'm gonna proofread the whole damn thing tonight. Thx

I think your AV looks a tad aggressive to be honest and I confess the fisting thing crossed my mind as well.
I didn't know they were cock rings either, I just thought you were maybe into rock...
It does stand out from other AVs, though I also prefer your headless pics, they seem more human and likeable, to me at least...
Headless humans? I don't know, I've been binge viewing "The Walking Dead," so when I think headless, I think walker, or biter or just plain zombie! ;)
Maybe my winning personality will eventually render the connotations of my avatar moot. Also, I' bound to get bored of it and change it sooner or later.
Oh and I am into rock, ref: my profile. Thanks so much for the post.

Honestly, my first thought when I saw your AV was that you were into fisting?That's not a good or bad thing, just the first thing I thought. I didn't know they were cock rings, I assumed they were goth/biker bracelets or something.
I get the thinking about fisting thing, hmmm maybe I'll retake the pic with an open hand.

You have a nicely filled out profile, pics, stories, you comment/vote on others stories - I can't see why anyone would not reply to a friend-add, to be honest. As far as I'm concerned, you're doing all the right things in terms of creating a good profile.
As far as getting more story clickers, I think guys in particular benefit from a presence in the forums. As you start posting more and people get a feel for your personality, you can create a bit of intrigue and more people might be curious enough to want to check out your writing chops as well.
Thanks for the feedback, DD. As a noob, it's also nice that you took the time write such a thoughtful reply.

Like many people here, I don't want to post a picture of my face (my issue, I know).
And I wanted my avatar to be personal, not a picture of some hunky guy.
So I picked the shot of my wrist with two cock rings as representing as aspect of my sexuality - I'm dom.
I would love to hear what you think of it. Does it make you more or less likely to read my stories and/or my profile?
Does it make you more or less likely to respond to a friend request?
Would a headless shot like the ones in my gallery be a better avatar?
Please be honest, I can take constructive criticism.
