I once flashed my breasts in one of those 4-photographs while you wait booths, but I never sent it to anyone. I was young, all alone, and felt oh so naughty! ---

Once. I shouldn’t have, really, it was a bit of a stupid idea. But nothing came of it, good or ill, so that’s okay. ---

Did anyone ever read that thread on Fark where a member got part of his scrotum caught in the slats of a wooden chair while jerking off at his computer and posted asking for help in coming up with ideas to extricate it? He took a picture with his cell phone camera to clarify the situation. That’s about the only good excuse I could think of for sending a picture of your genitals to someone. Most people laughed themselves sick and then advised him to call 911, but I think he finally got free by using a pair of scissors to wedge the slats apart further. ---

You scared the crap out of me when you got to the word “scissors.” :eek: ---

Slight hijack, because photo-taking was not involved, but this reminds me of a guy in Hong Kong who was screwing a park bench one time. Yes, a park bench. There was a knothole in the seat, and apparently his penis became so swollen while doing the deed that it got stuck. And then the swelling would not go down. So he had to call for help. The paper said they carted the park bech off with them with the guy still attached and managed to remove him at the hospital. ---

Yes. My partner travels a lot for work, and I like to remind him of what’s waiting for him at home. He responds with a pic of his mouth. 😃 ---

I try to adhere to the rule that any private document can turn into public documentary. The only way to absolutely control a document is never to create it. Thus, I have never even taken pictures of mine or anyone else’s genitals, let alone sent them anywhere. ---

Yep and I’ve gotten similar pictures in response. I have **never** shared any of the pictures I’ve received and never would, unless the person in the pictures asked me to. ---

I must confess some astonishment at the number of people who have done this. It’s about 25% of respondents thus far. The world is a weirder place than I imagined. ---

No, never. Those pictures of my genitals were taken without my knowledge. And then my account was hacked … no, wait … somebody else put the pictures on my phone and then sent them. Yeah, that’s it. ---

Several years ago, I was going to route of hook-up sites for sex and the guys I was corresponding with wanted verification they were talking to a real woman and asked for a picture of my rack with a post-it note with their name stuck to my breasts. Yes, I did it a few times. Not any more. ---

Nope, I had a long distance girlfriend a couple of years ago who like to send me pictures of herself and wanted pictures in return. I declined since I didn’t trust her enough to believe it would stay private. I could see doing it but it would have to be a warm day when I was very excited before I’d ever let the world know the size of my junk. ---

The world is a weirder place than I imagined. +1, and I really can’t imagine anyone doing this. Then again, this is true for a lot of behaviors. Everyone is wierd in some way. ---
