Often I see photos of young women posted on JC that make me uneasy. Thus so as I suspect that many amateur photos, showing women's faces, are posted without their knowledge. So I looked into the matter and found this deliberation: If a photo was taken in private (a home or someplace where the taker and the subject were in private) then the photos cannot be published online without the subject's consent. Doing so makes the person posting, liable for 'invasion of privacy' and they could be sued in civil court for compensatory and even punitive damages. A post yesterday titled ‘would you jerk off to her’ showed various pictures of a young woman’s face and body. I posted a ‘reply’ asking whether or not the woman gave permission for these photos to be posted, but received no response. Interestingly enough, the individual who posted the images guards his own privacy to the extent of not including a photo in his profile. A number of people on this site seem totally obsessed with their right to jerk off over anything without due regard being given to the rights of others who might, unbeknownst to them, be publically paraded in photographs for the masturbation fantasies of members of the so-called JC ‘community’.

All depends on where the photos came from. A lot of young women/girls post photos on public facebook sites. That act in istelf makes the photos public and not an invasion of privacy.

And face it...most of the guys here would never have an icecube's chance in he** of getting close enough to a young sweet woman to take photos like that anyway, that's why they come here in the first place.

If it affends you don't look, there's no one holding a gun to your head to come here.

I expected this type of response. It exhibits the mindset I referred to at the end of my post. It is not a question about photos offending me, it is not a question about me at all, but one of common decency. Ok post away in regard to porn images or other genuinely public material. But surely some regard for the privacy of unsuspecting parties should prevail on a site such as this.

I would think so as well - like you said you recieved no response as to whether or not the poster had permission, why do you automatically assume they dont? Have you ever looked on facebook or other sites to see the kind of images girls post about themselves?

Receiving no response is probably more likely an indication that permission was not given, but we could argue about that back and forth all night. The more general issue is what is important. When posting images showing the faces and thus identities of 'friends' or 'friends of friends', the person posting should at least be clear that the suject person is agreeable to having themselves dislayed in such a way on this site.

You are both right in your own way. I agree there are "reasonable" limits to what should or would get posted here (outside of those clearly set forth in the Terms of Use). But we are of a different generation, we have a clear concept of privacy and the rights of others to that.
Alas though, Pandora's Box has been opened so to say. Social media, texting pictures,posting pictures on the web is the norm. You can not put a picture out there and expect it not to be co-opted, borrowed or simply re-posted. With or without permission.

That's a sensible comment JU, thanks. Perhaps this is why some of us older roosters are even more obliged to point out to these young cocks ways in which they should be mindful of observing the privacy of other people in this 'new media' age.

I believe the terms of use for this website includes an admonishment not to post photos of the unwilling or underaged, among other things. No one needs you to preach at them.

Go jack your lovely cock (I checked your profile, it's a nice one!) and don't look at what worries or offends you - that's the only right you have here. Meanwhile, I'm gonna go to whatever I see here that trips my trigger!

Gringo,
Professional entertainment has to have someone sign a legal release form. That said when I was interning for Fox we were on location, we had the release papers to be filled in, but the producer said "Just forget about it. we don't need the hassle."

I agree that if a guy doesn't show his goods he has no right to show anyone else's. Unless it's pro porn.

I've shown my tits before on my profile and now my pussy. But I only post professional links.

I agree with you. But I also agree that because of electronic media Pandora's Box will be forever open and wet! And it's a slippery slide with an open flood gate.
Anal

None of the stuff I see in town or at the beach or even in my home, church or the doctors office that causes intense sexual arousal comes with permission. Permission is indeed a wide open Pandora's box. But the main issues are 1) profiting unfairly from another's assets, 2) intent to harm or defame.

Probably, neither of those have ever occurred at JC. I am sure moderators would intervene if they had any hint that either was happening.

I for one---jack with pleasure.

Yes of course we all jack off to things that we see out and about - for eg. capturing an image of a sexy ass we saw in the office in our head and then jacking off to its recollection later at home. But that is a whole lot different from downloading an image of the same woman's face from her employer's website and then posting it here without her knowledge. I cannot accept that someone who writes as articulately as you cannot recognise that difference. Finally, please note that while each of my msgs here concludes with a concern for the rights of another person, those who criticize me seem to invariably finish with a proclamation of their own right to jack off to whatever they like without any concern for the right of others.

All of the above comments are appreciated, however, my personal perspective is most consistent with gringoxxx. I am all about having a good time here, but not at somebody's expense. The question is not about whether I find a picture offensive, but whether that person would be offended over me or anyone jerking off to them. There is no way I would know that unless there was a certain code of integrity or controls around posting pictures here. While I assume that there is, some of the stuff does concern me and I just exit out of it asap. My preference would be not to ever have those concerns.

If I found a photo of a family member here, I would not stop until the matter was completely resolved.

Others have that same option. Has anyone ever exercised it?

I think the concluding remarks referred to above are simply communicating that the object of this place is to be neither LinkedIn nor some Tabloid, rather it is a place to come and just be men.

Giggle: "[JC] a place to come and just be men". I would rather it be a place to come and be like adults. Which would entail being respectful to others. Your opening comment about 'a family member' suggests that you would be totally disagreeable to images of a loved one being placed on this site against their wishes. So now just extend that principle to all people and you have the answer to the problem I raised in commencing this board.

She gave me permission honest
