Considering the volume of porn being generated for the web, what are the chances a stranger you pass on the sidewalk is on someone’s hard drive naked? Please help, I need to know if looking for my neighbor is a waste of time… ---

Back in my day if we wanted to see our neighbors naked, we’d have to look through their bedroom windows with binoculars. And we liked it! None of this fancy internet stuff. ---

I have myself, my wife and some of our friends on my hard drive naked. (Trust me, unless you REALLY want to know, don’t ask, and if you do, please do it via email 🙂 ) ---

Of the 2-3 hundred people I know on this planet less than 5 are on the internet nude. I don’t think it as common an occurance as you thing. And if you want to spend you time looking for you neighbor on the internet I’m thinking you are going to have to wade through some pretty wierd shit. I would call her up and ask 😉 ---

\*Originally posted by tubagirl \* > [@](#): > > **Of the 2-3 hundred people I know on this planet less than 5 are on the internet nude. I don’t think it as common an occurance as you thing.** Five out of two or three hundred? That’s like 100 million people nude on the internet, not counting overlap. That’s more common than **I** thought. ---

Let me ask you: how many of your neighbors would you WANT to see naked? You wouldn’t want to see most of mine naked. ---

Pain would not even begin to describe the feelings I would have if I ever saw my neighbor naked. She looks **EXACTLY** like the late John Candy, she could be his identical twin. My other neighbors on the other hand, they have 2 daughters, both around 19-20 blonde cowgirls(wranglers on butts that can wear them withought a permit) Whoo Hooo! ---

on my computer, I sadly only have naked pictures of four people I know … two I have met briefly … and one I saw in concert in Seattle a couple of years ago!! ---

I have naked pics of myself on my hard drive. I took them with an old boyfriend’s digital camera and then he downloaded them and sent them to me. Knowing my old boyfriend he probably has them on a website somewhere for the Internet world to see. I doubt he’s making any money off of them though… I don’t think that anybody would knowingly pay money to see me naked. ---

Ya see, there’s NAKED, and there’s NEKKID. As the esteemed philosopher Jerry Clower opined, NAKED means you ain’t got no clothes on. NEKKID means you ain’t got no clothes on and you’re doing something NAUGHTY. That being cleared up, I had some NAKED and some NEKKID shots on my harddrive until I got the Blue Screen Of Death message some time back. No I only have Fantasy Fest shots (a la Mardis Gras painted undraped bodies). No postings of pix, though. The XSO would kill. ---

I don’t have them on my hard drive, but the scuzzy ex bf thing holds here too. As does the why in god’s name would anyone want to see me naked? [sub]I wouldn’t have let him take them but I was _ahem_ tied up at the time[/sub] ---

No pics of me (naked or nekkid) that I know of on the net. Of course, I would probably freak out if I was surfing for porn and stumbled across an ex or a sister or something. Worse yet, if I browsed across a picture featuring myself, that would sober me up real quick. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/statistical-nakedness/50232.md?page=2)
