Mine is. I think so much of this world is fake fantasy I think there should be a little bit of realness.


I agree Sindy, And we all get to appreciate that! Yummy !!

I use pics of me. This one in Hawaii. I used a torso pic in the biginning of someone else. It was pointed out by Dani that it wasn't me. So now it's me. All me, such as I am.

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.

A lot of people have seen me in less than I am wearing in mine. I can't see a problem.
I believe it should be compulsory

No I haven't, and I wouldn't expect anyone else to do it either. If you do, then fair play, but it's not something that I'd even consider, to be honest.

So I don't expect your Avatar to be of you, either. The only people who do wind me up are those who have pictures of people and pretend, or imply, that it is them; when it's so very clearly not. That is then deception, and deception is wrong in all of it's forms!

Before I joined, I've said this before, I have come on many times to read stories. There was one girl in particular, I think her name was NaughtyAnnie (she seemed quite 'popular', so you might know who I'm talking about) who had LOTS of photos of her on the site, and they all seemed genuine. I went on her profile because I liked some of her stories, though, and not to perv at her pictures. But I think she has posted so many, that if I bumped into her in the streets (not very likely, but not impossible either!) I'd probably recognise her.

Now, reading some of her stories I think she would find that quite exciting (being recognised like that), and that's fair enough. But I'm the complete opposite. Based on what I've posted on here, and the contents of my stories, if someone walked up to me in the street and said 'hey, aren't you that angry fella from Lush?', then I would be MORTIFIED. I mean, really....mortified. I just know that I'd start blushing! I talked abut that a little in my first story, how much that would embarrass me.

So it's horses for course (quite literally, if you shop at Iceland), but I think most people wouldn't share pictures so openly, and I wouldn't ask for them either.

Now that being said, I have sent someone from here an actual picture of me, so I'm not against people seeing my face (it wasn't a penis pose, I swear!), but this is someone I've spoken to quite a bit (and she sent me a picture of her face too, so we 'swapped'). That's not to say if someone randomly emails me asking for a picture I'll send it, but if I am talking to someone often and there is a basis of trust there, then I would be willing to share at that point

'tis himself!
Mine is really me.

Or is it???

I've actually thought of putting something else up, in case someone I know finds it. OTOH, if they find it, that means they were on the site, so they're unlikely to be able to hold that against me. Plus, I'm male, and not that good-looking or interesting, so I don't worry about being stalked.

No, I've been using the same model though because she's smokin hot! Plus I can relate to the rebel side other and the tattoos are incredible. Her name is Sarah Fabal.
Now, anyone that says they use their own pictures but it's all boobs and no face....I'm calling y'all on that one smile a picture of you is your face not the back of your head or your boobies...just sayin'???

I have three famous stories, 2 recommended reads and have come in the top ten in two competitions~ Come in and make yourself at home.

Well, the boobs are mine. But I wouldn't put a picture of my face up for privacy reasons - it's the internet after all. And if there's people on here I know in real life.. Well, it'd just be kind of awkward?
I doubt anyone'd recognise me by my boobs, though. And they're basically the only thing I like about my body, plus this is a site for erotic stories etc.

The picture is of me. Gave a lot of thought about it and have come to the conclusion that I am here as a real person and that I am proud of it.
If someone who I know recognizes me and questions me they will be told to FUCK OFF as I don't have to justify myself to anyone.
If they just mention it without questions it will probably be someone who I would want to know.

I assure you, that's its the real me. I'm not here for games, I'm here to write and chat-up with a few people.

I would never put up an identifiable picture of me, either as an avatar or in my profile.

I've got way too many recent death/ /other unpleasantness threats from my job of running bits of the internet to do something so brazen. I don't have an online presence in my real name at all. I have 2 Facebook accounts and neither is in my real name- they're not in nicknames, they're just in entirely fabricated names and there are people who I have only had online contact with who address me by a totally different name, and that is cool if it protects me from the stalkers and threats. My last name is unusual and therefore I never use that even in email addresses. If you knew that it would be way too easy to find me in real life, and if you Google my real name none of the 200 or so responses are actually me.

Some call it paranoia- I call it prudence.

I have in the past. Had to remove it, unfortunately. It was unsettling to gaze upon, apparently.

well having my own pic as my avatar means that any of my friends would know right away i am on lush and that would not be ideal. but i do not want to put some random pic on so i had to put my pic.

Not unsettling to those who don't judge you by an avatar.


True.

If I get close to somebody on lush, then I would let them see my picture.

Mine is me. Just me. Mostly b/c when I realised that I needed an avatar, I didn't know that Lush had stock avis and I didn't have the patience to do a Google Image search. So I ran upstairs and took the pic that became my avatar in about 45 seconds with my Nokia 810.

As to showing my face--not in my avatar, no, but a pic of a slightly disheveled version of me is in my gallery, visible to friends.

Mine is not me (as if you couldnt gues) A guy I chatted to here for quite some time sent it to me as it was how he imagined me (he got the boobs wrong)

Putting my real pic up could be embarrassing if someone from thje real world saw it.

I've got nothing to lose by using my own photos, so my avatar is always me, or some part of me, and sometimes a few years out of date, like now.

It never has been until today. This is me at the Women's March in Austin recently. If that makes anyone unfriend me, so be it.

I am what I am although I do use my own pics I try to photoshop better backgrounds to keep interest. I also understand those that wish to keep anonymous for varied reasons!

My avatar is a perfect representation of me! I absolutely love women, but they are a complete mystery to me. I've gotten lots of hotties, but I don't know why... I've lost plenty of hotties, too.

I bit the bullet after two years and finally used a picture of myself as my avatar. I figured that if I managed to stick around for this long and post as much as I have in the forums, let alone the conversations I've had with people, that I might as well show myself if even only a little.

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

I have a question if anyone can answer please?

Is it true what I heard that someone here who lived in England and always kept the pics of herself updated, that someone else here used her pictures to find out where she lived and went to her home, and killed her?
True/false and if so, who was it?

I usually don't mind, and I do like to see my closest friends here in person as much as we can be at Lush, but I cyber sex a lot with others too, who are on my friends list but not close. I don't really talk with them everyday, and never about anything personal. I only see them when they are horny and want some. So I don't really care what they really look like, I want to orgasm just as much as they do...it's fantasy anyway.

If I'm playing with a girl and she has an avatar of someone else who is gorgeous, I don't mind. It's a fantasy sex site.
If she wants to have boobs like Angelina Jolie, or some porn star with huge boobs? I'll play along and nurse her like a horny stripper would. If she likes big toys, that's what she'll get from me til she squirts and screams...smiles

Same with a guy. If he wants rock hard abs and a 12 inch cock, good, I like really big cocks anyway in my real life and I'll bite, lick, suck, fuck and jack that monster off til he freaks...smiles

But I am worried about someone finding out where I live now.

Yay!!! Number 300 post, only 200 more for another badge...giggles
