What do you think about the Male Crotch Shot profile pictures on NCH?

This post came as a result to a message sent to me regarding the "Perv Bait Women" post. The sender felt that this was an equally negative factor on NCH. Most of the posts of this nature by men have blank profiles. I would have to agree that by posting a picture accentuating the male penis with or without a completed profile is the same in concept.

To Brian's credit, the number of such pictures were actually much fewer than before as with the females. He has a tough job in this regard but seems to be doing good.

Here are a few profile examples I came up with:
> Williamb
> Mikeo
> Hub
> Gasdea
> Hwnmanu
> RussG

What are they thinking? And you didn't even get the "best" ones, SB... I promise guys, it's not bait...

Remember, women are not visual so if you are showing off...it's not for us.

I kind of feel bad for these people...their whole body is nude but all they can focus on is one "little" part.

I have no use for these guys. Some have even requested friendship and I deny it based on their profile pic, when they are posed in this manner.

We ALL know you have a penis. We all know that the vast majority of them are average size ... so we don't need to see it and we don't need to see it after it's been massaged to a larger state.

Profile pics like this, accompanied with a blank profile ... if this were my site ... they'd be gone, no if's and's or butt's! :D

Perv Bait women: You can tell which ones are serious nudists and which are not. Just look at some of the pictures posted as profile pics ... professional photo taken right off a soft porn site. This should be automatic as well.

I truly think we lose more real nudists to joining sites because of all the trolls that are allowed in.

Yes ... we could be turning some "good" people away but the vast majority of those that are real nudists will continue to stay, log on and even if the don't contribute, you see that they are here regularly. Many of these trolls don't log on for months and months only to log on to see if there are any new pictures to look at.

I say ... bounce them!

I think that everyone should have just 2 pictures...the primary would of course be clothed...the secondary would be from the shoulders up only...that would allow us to make sure that they were nudists...and if they did not participate in at one thread a month they should be booted...ooohhh and if their profile was not up dated quarterly then they should be gone as well...and as for any language which might be construed by anyone at all as having a modicrum of sexual ennuendo they would be history especially if they are men...and only women should be able to request friends...you know guys have only one thing on their minds when they make a friends request to a woman...and should a guy make a friends request to a woman he should be reported immediately and booted...ooohhh and if your not blonde haired and blue eyed and exactly 6 feet tall then your history as well...sometimes you guys are amazing...do you really think that women are so simple minded that they book mark crotch shots and hussel back to them as soon as they come on...how insulting to the women on the site...but heyyyy lets make up some more guidelines on who can and can not be on the site because as we all know there are NOT nearly enough guidelines yet to prove that a person is pure of heart and pure of mind..

Well, there's DOZENS of female crotch shots on the site as well. As long as it's not the focal point of the photo, I'm good to go.

Rabbit, we are talking about Profile Pictures. I looked thru many female profiles and I didn't find any crotch shots, only suggestive ones which I named some. Maybe you are looking at the additional pictures that some women have added within their profiles... you know those pictures that you have to really search for.
Maybe you should name the "dozens" of female crotch shots in the Perv Bait topic for us so Brian can look into it. Are you good with that also?

Rules are rules and it strikes me funny how many will contradict themselves with opinions on one subject and then the opposite on another.

I know TXnNude is being sarcastic but ... without some rules and guidelines and a constant changing of those rules and guidelines ... the perv's, Perv Bait's, trolls and the like continue to find ways to get around the rules and guidelines.

I'm not that savy on the inner workings of these websites but I'm also not naive. To make money ... you have to have paying members. Paying members get special priviledges ... many times those "special priviledges" are the ability to see more pictures.

If I owned a site and limited the amount of trolls, perv's and the like ... then I'd be left with nothing but real nudists that just came here to communicate and not scope out naked pics. I wouldn't make much money on that ... so I see the other side of allowing any and all to join and not be hypercritical of some of the stuff I might see.

I don't agree with it ... I just understand it and see it on numerous naturist sites.

i dont like seeing crotch shots of anyone, i think its focusing on your "parts" not your life as a nudist. i enjoy seeing people having fun in the sun and being themselves. However i do not understand why some one would join and not post pics of their nudist life at times with all clothed pics.

Sometimes it's not perviness, but a lack of understanding (or ignorance if you will). I once chatted on a long-gone club here on NC with a lady who was puzzled by the negative feedback she was getting over her profile pic. Her profile pic: her sitting across a chair with a tank top and her legs ajar. She though that by focusing on her genitals she was "proving" that she was nude to gain acceptance here at NC. Seriously...

Me...I don't have to prove anything. I know I was a club and resort family nudist for years with my wife and daughter. I know I'm nude at home and go the the nude beach almost every week end. If someone doesn't believe the stories I share here or elsewhere, my feeling are not going to be hurt. Because I'm not looking for validation. And anyone who'd like to see what I look like nude only needs to show up at Mazo on a Sunday. They're not going to see it here.

But someone who is looking for validation might feel that putting their penis or vagina front-and-center gives them more authenticity. But how do you dispel that myth?

I think many of the shots SB is speaking of are self taken photos with guys in "so called" comfortable positions that are in those positions for one reason only ... to show off what they don't have ... a brain!

I often wonder about many who post pictures of this nature. Is it the thrill of having your genitals displayed on the internet? Is it to validate that you have what you have? Is it a crap shoot to see if someone will respond and make you feel ... better about yourself?

Ya gotta admit ... the whole idea of nudism/naturism is to feel better about yourself, to understand that no one will judge you for what you have but more of who you are and with all these people posting pics in this manner ... I don't see how their ability to be accepted, by other nudist men and women will be accomplished.

SB, I have flagged the female crotch shots as I find them. I (or anyone else) do not go looking for them. You click on a profile to see what the person is about, are the local etc, click on the pics, and BAM, there it is.

I see no reason to make a list of offenders on here. The site is designed to file a report with Brian, and that's what I do. Flaming is not my cup of tea.

I have come across very few photos which could be described as being in poor taste. Maybe I have to pay to be a premium member to see that stuff? But amongst the fuzzy pictures available to me on the 'random member photos' page and elsewhere, it seems to be rare.

More to the point, if there is a real problem then there are solutions available. How about, for example, putting a button alongside each photo which a member can click to bring the photo to the attention of a moderator?

This is a simple approach adopted on many websites. NCH could do it even better if it allowed only members to flag a photo and NCH kept a log of these actions. With logging, any frivolous or vindictive flagging of people's photos would not occur.

"A kiss is just a kiss." "A body part is just a body part." What the frickin __ll's all the comotion about! It is up to the website owners what constitutes an acceptable photo. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and like an art gallery, every one likes a different painting. Are we to have a democratic process whereby we vote on photos and the majority wins out?

LMAO ... I know this is off topic but ...

Here's one of those things that I just don't understand about some that call themselves adult nudists.

We are suppose to be mature, open-minded people; that's why we we are so capable (some of us anyway) of living this lifestyle to our fullest ... yet we have so much trouble with simple words that seem to bother them to say.

Frickin', freakin', freckin',fricken, ALL = a word we ALL know what it is. These words are just a way of saying it without really saying it. If you were to type the word you want to put in it's place ... you'd either be reprimanded by Admin, Mods or all those with dainty ears ... cuz I don't know where on earth you'd go not to hear this word used by the youngest of people, nowadays.

But you can type frickin'/fricken and can't type HELL!? Now that's funny!

Oh H-E-DOUBLE-TOOTHPICKS ... all this time I thought that word was a contraction of fried chicken!


Fricken

This all comes down to the inner peace I learned from Kung Fu Panda. As nudists parts is parts and crotch photos are a non issue by themselves. They are typically put up out of insecurity or the belief that this is swingerville. However, some people just do close up pictures. I've seen close ups of eyes, hands and feet that I don't quiet understand but just accept at face value. In anycase, if they are on the site they may learn something about nudism just by being here. I consider myself a "real nudist" and I'm still learning things. I've also seen many posts describing behavior considered inapropriate even by those acknowledged as understanding nudism, so everyone has questionable moments every now and then. As far as maintaining a "family nudist" site, either clothed or unclothed, online or not you shouldn't let your kids hang out with strangers.
It seems to me that a profile picture should be just that a picture that lets us see your smile. Our photos should reflect the nude modeling. We are at a protected website so showing off our comfortableness with our nude bodies. The crotch photos in my opinion belong in the photo album section. Finally our posture in photos should be similar to the way we would look at a nudist venue.

Fricken-A-Right... I totally agree Wayne. Your words are exactly what I think. Let me repeat them "The crotch photos in my opinion belong in the photo album section. Finally our posture in photos should be similar to the way we would look at a nudist venue." Fricken Amen!
I am not sure how protectd the sight is since anybody can access it and every post can be picked up in a search SO for that "Fricken" reason we should try to be positive examples of social nudity. Most of the guys I have seen look like they are posing for the gay audience anyway. Is that what you all want on this site? I don't. Quit trying to be so "fricken" politically correct, it hurts social nudity for us real ones.
I hope my own photo is not considered a crotch shot or offensive. It was taken nearly two years ago and posted soon afterward. I simply wanted everyone to be able to see I am unashamed and proud to declare myself a nudist. Unfortunately, I've done no more photos beyond the initial two which were taken by my daughter at my request so I could post them here and elsewhere.

If it is considered inappropriate I request someone with the skills to do so crop it to remove the offensive portion.

The small picture on the left side of the group post can be copied and transferred to an email page or a Word page. I logged out and was able to make a transfer from a picture from the Search site. So anyone from the "outside" can copy a picture. Granted it is not a large size picture, but one who knows how to play with Photoshop or other software could overcome that.

While we can never know ones motive, we can certainly assume when just a shot of a penis, vagina, or breasts is posted, that individual in my mind is here because they don't understand what nudism and naturists are all about.
If these parts are shown while enjoying a naked activity, nobody cares. If they are the ONLY body parts shown, they should be pulled, or rejected.

I agree, Brian has a difficult job filtering out these pictures and seems to be doing a good job. I can only imagine (from other sites) how many do get rejected that we don't see.

Brian (site owner) or his minions will act on any inappropriate photos. Photos of just someone's genitalia for a profile shot or any photo for that matter, is not appropriate on any genuine nudist board IMHO.
I agree Cheri. As an admin on a FB group i know it can be a difficult call. But when the focus is the genitalia and not the full individual or ativity it is not about nudism. I remove and ban when i think the line is crossed. Hopefully it is a comfortable place for individuals and families to post comments, links and photos.

I think a good example to follow, are the old nudist magazines from the golden age (40's-60's). No doubt they're nudists, and nary a crotch shot in the lot.

I'm in complete agreement with Cheri, Rabbit, bare and AZ.
The men who post that type of shot know what their doing. They do it under the guise of " My nudist photo". Fortunatly we also know what their doing. Giving the rest of us a bad name. Us being men who enjoy being nude and are comfortable with who we are
Some of the critch shots may be intentional others may not....The bottom line is if you dont like it dont look at it. If you feel the need to report it do so. I personally have a bigger issue with those the j/o in the video chat room I have reported numerous cases of this and will continue to do so. Those caught doing this should be removed from the groupp immediately bu ISP so thatthey cannot return unless the aquire a new ISP. I go there to keep in touch with friends not watch some slug pleasure him or herself.

It seems that the original post question singled out and has a problem with any penis in the photo...intentionally in the photo or not

SunnyLA...I think Sunbunny was referring to photos of guys spread eagle giving their best "come hither" look...not photos that show...gasp...a penis!

As for inappropriate activity in chat...why would you watch someone? It certainly is easy to close the video view...just like not looking at offending photos...but easier. I'll report those folks (actually, women can be included in this group...but you guys wouldn't report that ;-) ) but I certainly don't stay around to watch...

IMHO if the picture is not associated with a complete profile, then this becomes weird. The question to ask these people is what their motivation is for being part of a nudist group? If they have sexual motivations, then they do not belong here. And they should be explained what nudism/naturism is about and be asked to leave if they do not subscribe to this lifestyle.

Having said this and being a man, I do not see myself and others thru their genitals. So as long as the picture is full body, I really do not care. Of course, a close-up should be banned immediately! Just my 2 cents.

To get back to the original question I posted for discussion, I never said there was anything wrong with full frontal nudity in a PROFILE picture. I said CROTCH Shots where the emphasis was obviously being placed on the (gasp, good one CO-Home) penis.
Actually, I don't see the need for a full nude pic anyway, this is a nudist site and we should not need auditions. Look at some of the pics of members in this group, or even me for that matter... it is a head shot and that gives you the visual of who I am. (we are not talking about the group picture which is intended to make a different statement)
My point is that a picture is worth a thousand words an speaks volumes. If we all, as nudists/naturists, put that thought before posting a public PROFILE picture on here it would undoubtly go a long way to separating the wheat from the chaffe.
C-O I dont watch them I scan the activity as I visit with friends and if they are playing on cam ( male or female)I report them, The sooner that activity can be eliminated the more true to the community can the site become. To Sun bunny , until the site requires a full profile and headshot to join..you will continue to get the shots that we are speaking of....

Ah, crotch shots.... whether male or female, if the crotch is the main focus, they obviously have no concept of what sites like this are about. Also "boobage" shots of women. I say delete the photo, and send them a friendly reminder that such photos are not appropriate. If they do it again, delete the account. If I want to look at crotches, there are plenty of other sites I can go to. Personally, I don't want to see it here.
