Would you pose anonymously for money?

There's a lot of amateurs posting online these days naked, xtube.com being the most popular. You can pose for free, or get paid, pose photographs or videos. It even has gay or straight photographs. Would you ever consider this, especially if you were making money from it? Why or why not?

If I wasn't in a relationship and I could make money without anyone knowing it was me, then heck yes! The problem for me is I would be afraid of people recognizing my tattoos so my identity would be revealed. I don't know if I would still do it or not if people could recognize me... but probably

You must have some really unique tats--mine are fairly standard but at this point, it's enough of a turn on for me to keep doing it! I'm still trying to figure out the money thing (and how to get videos to upload), but I'm supposed to be in a relationship (after 4 1/2 years, we're still 'far apart' on the moving in thing according to him) and he actually likes learning how to use the camera and to pose me!

You are getting paid? Or are you just doing it for fun? I have toyed with the idea of selling my used panties online for a few years now, but my boyfriend said NO WAY. I am still deciding if I am going to do it when I move out and not tell him... such easy money... but I do not like keeping secrets !

I had a ton of sites saved, but have since lost my bookmarks. There are a lot out there for panties.. I was thinking of just making my own personal site where I set prices and everything. I am not sure if I will do it yet. It sounds like you and your boyfriend are going through some rough waters... sounds a lot like me. We are living together right now, but moving apart this month because he thought I was too naggy to live with (because he refuses to clean...) anyway, now he is saying he wishes he was going to stay living with me, but too bad I am outta here!!

If I had a good body and was confident in myself, and the money was good then yes I would. But I am none of those and so I would not humiliate myself or my family by doing that, no matter how much money it paid!!

I don't have a good body, but if it came down to buying food for my daughter, or being super embarassed because of the potential for humiliation, buying food for my daughter always wins. I'm NOT married and her father paid a measly $50 a week in child support--he didn't have any more for alimony! I went without a lot to make sure that my daughter could eat; I went without to make sure she had most of what she wanted (not needed, wanted). You make these sorts of sacrifices when you're a single parent.

The year I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I worked 3 to 4 jobs, 7 days a week, 6 to 16 hours a DAY (not quite 10 years ago)! I was married and my husband (then) refused to work more than one! Everyone was disgusted that he would do this to me. I didn't know if I was coming or going. But during the last few years, the multiple sclerosis has taken it's toll on my body and I am unable to work a regular job (I need too many accomodations), so until I get my disability, I'll see what I can do online. If it means a little humiliation now, then so be it. I've gone into a depression because I filed for disability--I feel like I've given up!

My eldest son is 16 now, from birth until the age of 8 I was on my own with him. I slowly went from having nothing, to having even less,I was homeless with him until he was 4 months old, I ate nothing but a small sandwich day after day, week after week so that he could eat proper meals. I never had a penny from his biological father, scrap that I never even had a visit from him, he has still to this day never met him. I had nothing, but through it all I would never have got my kit off for money, if I was ever going to hold on to one thing then it would be my dignity, back then I had a good body, but I just would not have done it. We are all different, we all have different lengths that we would go to for our children, my lengths were to take any job I could get my hands on and as many jobs as I could.

Ah, I thought I'd only consider it for the thrill, but now I'm looking more seriously at the money. I think it's the one industry that never suffers during a recession!

Posing naked may be an easy way to make money ! But, I don't think I should do it. You know why ? Because my body is not shapely at all. Ha ha ! I guess that's why nobody has asked me to pose naked so far !!

Why thank you! I'm not feeling too pretty at the moment (bad week), so your compliment made me smile!

I think it is an interesting to consider doing something like this. It sounds exciting to post naughty pictures on the internet and make money but it seems that there is quite a bit of paperwork which needs to be done first. I would prefer to stay anonymous and not have my face in it at all because it would be quite awkward if someone I knew saw it. Also, how do they pay? Do they post a check or can they deposit it in a paypal account or something like that?

I think they deposit in a paypal account. You can do it anonymously--I'm too embarassed to post my face there, but there are a lot of people that DO post their faces! It is exciting though!

I'm going to sign up just because I can. Might be interesting... or creepy, who knows? I'm just a bit uncertain about the part where you have to send in a copy of your ID and stuff on xtube to prove you are over 18. By the way, do you know of any others that offer payment?

I think the proof of ID are for their lawyers, and to ensure that everyone posing and getting paid is in fact 18. I'm still checking out other sites; I had a link to a bunch of jobs in the US, but now I can't find it. Thanks and good luck!

I'd have to wear a mask or something, I'd be too embarrassed otherwise. ;-)
I certainly wouldn't have anything against the idea morally - there's nothing wrong with the human body, and money's always nice to have. Mind you, I don't think I'd get paid very much - I'm not that photogenic.

The shots tend to be closeups of genitals--that seems to be very popular. Very few people show their faces, or they wear sunglasses to disguise their faces.
Don't be hard on yourself--you're probably more photogenic than you think!

I would never choose to opt this because according to me this is illegal. There is no doubt many such sites but such sites had wrong impact on our younger generation and they should also think about the younger generation. They also have profound impact on our society.

Here in the US though, this is not illegal unless you're underage. Our cultures are very different though, and if I'm not hurting anyone, then I should be allowed. It's an adult site--no one under the age of 18 is permitted. No one really knows it's me; the other person in some of the pictures is the man I've fallen in love with and we're both consenting adults. You are entitled to your opinion though; what's currently worrying me? A local cop and his girl friend have been charged with sexually assaulting three local underage girls (and he separately is being investigated with allegations of bestiality)--this is a man that we're to teach our children to go to if they're hurt or lost?

I don't think I can ever do it, since I am not too comfortable showing off some skin. Even if it's for the right price, I still won't do it. Posing naked is just not for me.

Most of us are not; I'm not an exhibitionist by any stretch of the imagination , but I'm definitely interested in the money part!

I don't think my husband would like it very much if I did! I'm not sure if anyone would want to see me naked either - afterall I have had 2 children!
All in all though I think our bodies are beautiful and we shouldn't be ashamed of them. So if money's tight, then it seems like a fair way to make money, though I'm sure many people would find this controversial!

I would not consider doing that unless I was really desperate for money. I would like to think that if I have to do something like that to make ends meet than I have hit rock bottom. If my kids were starving and it was the only way maybe, but I would never do that otherwise.

I was going to ask you how you'd feel about posing for pictures for him, but obviously you'd have to let someone else take pictures of you or set up your camera to take it. Most women don't have a good body image anyway (society), but when you're desperate for money, everything looks good.
