- - - Well okay, maybe that’s not news. I am continually mystified not by the fact that people want to do wierd stuff, or that they will do it in private, but that they will do it in front of a -webcam-. Like stuff that involves bodily _substances_ (ugh), or partners with more than two legs (arf!). These are not things which can be explained away easily, particularly in countries where such acts are clearly illegal. —Looking is dirty work, but I’m only looking for people I know. ~ Have you ever found XXX photos of someone you knew on the net? Like, not necessarly engaged in something as weird as the above perhaps (-but lemme know if you do), but anything X-rated. -And were you told directly or indirectly by the person who put the picture up (like maybe a disgruntled ex or a friend of theirs) or did you happen across it entirely on your own, and then realize “Hey! I know that midget!”–? - MC ---

No people that I know of, but I was shocked once to see the skyline of My Fair City used as a wallpaper for an adult site, which caused me to look at the site more closely than I would normally have (i.e., reading the text) and resulted in my learning that it is based out of a nearby small town. Also, I saw so-called “amateur” pics on a site once which featured prominently a very small-town high school near where I went to college. ---

Imagine: Young girl hanging out with her fiance’ at his Army Barracks, when his roomate (who is happily perched on one sofa flipping thru porn mags) jumps up and yells - “Oh GOD! Who Does This Look Like!?!?” while flashing it to the 5 other men in the room. Of course I laughed as he ran out of the room, and down the hall showing the uncanny resemblance of whomever it was to the entire 2nd floor. About 2 minutes later the room, is packed with men - and in walks my fiance’ … "Magazine flapping in his face… Dude, youre fiance’ is in a F_ck Mag!!!_ Follwed by hysterical laughter over the “Uncanny Resemblance” (Purple Shade of horror lapses over my face - similar to the Blue Screen of Death you’d experience on your computer) When he laffs like a hyena and says “Damn … baby that chick looks just like you” Thank God, they didn’t believe it really was me. (But I had to tell my fiance’ after to was all over) **Thinking: Yeah, laff it up chucklehead… I clearly and now unfortunately, remember the (PRIVATE) photo’s … being taken by my ex who now runs a HUGE adult related internet site.** At least the creep had the decency to sell the one where all openings were covered and they gave me a catchy (allbeit FREAKY) phonesex hotline title. Which I refuse to talk about here. LOL. That was 4 yrs ago - but the shame still bites me in the ass when i think about it. ---

In the very early days of the web I was talking to a co-worker about internet porn. We both agreed that we much preferred looking at amateur women than heavily made up, fake boobed models. I turned him on to an amateur site that I liked at the time where people submitted pictures of themselves. A couple of weeks later I looked at the site to find pictures of my co-workers very cute wife. Haj ---

My ex-fiancee has pictures on the net. I didn’t know it until a friend of mine sent me the link with a note saying “Hey1 Isn’t this Shauna?” I looked, and sure enough. ---

Back in the days of the Mac 512 (9 inch screen, 1 bit per pixel, half a MB RAM) someone handed me a floppy with a MacPaint (b&w equiv of a “.bmp” for you PC folks) document, which I double-clicked and… 😮 🙂 How they do that? Looks like a PHOTOGRAPH! (I didn’t know about scanners yet). ---

While I’ve never stumbled across anyone I knew while looking at porn (not for a lack of trying), a friend of mine reported once that he saw an ex-girlfriend of mine on one of those “Goth Chicks of the Week” type sites. We both got a good chuckle out of it. ---

My ex-girlfriend was on a goth chick of the week site too. Of course, she was trying to get on it while we were still together, but they didn’t post her pics until we’d been broken up. She still told me about it though. She was also supposed to be on the _cover_ of Blueblood magazine. I don’t know if that ever happened. No nudity, just some really nice pics from one of her shoots with Natasha Epperson. ---

A friend of mine showed me some Japanese rope bondage pics of his then-girlfriend he made and uploaded to some Yahoo club site. Another time I started IMing a coworker without telling her who I was (she sat at the next cube and I saw her handle), she soon showed me some pornographic pictures of herself (and was embarassed when she found out that I wasn’t some random stranger). ---

My wife was talking about a friend she’d recently met, who’d done some modeling. Later found out she (the friend) was a stripper/web porn model for a living. Of course, I had to ask what web site it was and check it out thoroughly, and it was one I’d seen before. I later met her and her husband, and it was a little strange, worrying if I’d accidentally blurt out “I’ve seen you doing porn!” She and her husband had just come from a steamy photo shoot, and he wanted to share poetry he’d written while they’d been sporking each other on camera. It was a little odd. It was also odd when my wife, having heard what great money was involved, was considering doing web porn. She’s done nude modelling before, but that’s entirely different from, um, more active sorts of things. I had a lot of trouble trying to decide whether I was okay with the concept, but I lucked out and she got a real job before I had to make a final decision.
