Forum posters vs photo contributors

I can't help but get curious when I notice something that contradicts my expectations.  I immediately suspect that is something is at work that I'm missing and I want to know why.  So please don't take this as some kind of recrimination it's just my curiosity at work and, as CC will quickly confirm, I have lots of that. 

I thought it odd that out of the top 20 forum posters only 4 have photo galleries.  Why would those who have the most to say have the least to show, at this site? 

Now, I want to emphasize that I understand why people would not contributie photos of themselves completely, it's just that I didn't expect this kind of disparity. 

I don't contribute a lot to the forum generally because there's a lot of lifestyle type talk that really doesn't appeal to me so I'm wondering if there is a reverse condition.  Do those with photo galleries generally not post to the forum? 

From what I read at the forum I get the impression that many of the posters consist of a lot of "experienced" or long term practitioners.  If they don't post photos is that a result of their experience?  Or is talking about it in the forum just a very different form of fantasy than showing/seeing it? 

Is chatting similarly something distinctly different.  (Something else I rarely do)  On one of those rare occasions, one of the chatters told me that she hardly ever looks at the photo galleries. 

I'm guessing this site serves is not one but three different but interlocked communities and just wondered if you noticed the same and what your thoughts are on the subject.

Good day,

As of this new slavefarm update which dumped all the pictures from the past, I was a little dissapointed at adding more. I will again in time as time permits and I see where slavefarm is going.

As always my profile here as well as collarme has some pictures of Me and slave.

If you look at how slavefarm has worked from the past, post pictures gets you into the members section for a time, then need to repost pictures. This avoids (or did) the costly monthly cost which personally I wasn't impressed with the members section. That being said, slavefarm like most online BDSM sites do need funding to stay up, but what is offered vs. what is given should be looked at. (plenty of suggestions throughout the site)

For me personally …
I’m still in the “curious” about all of this / learning as I go” side of SlaveFarm.

In the time I’ve been here, I’ve become comfortable enough to occasionally post a long winded opinion or two … but certainly not comfortable enough to post a picture.

I will admit that I do enjoy looking at the pictures contributed by members, and being shocked by what I perceive as the “REAL” side of bdsm in a relationship … but …
I’ll just stick with reading … learning … attempting to shorten the length of my posts….  and some respectful PMing with Masters / slaves - Doms / submissives

ohhh ... and when I first came to SlaveFarm, I did attempt to get into the chatroom a few times, but was never successful ... so I finally stopped trying .. which didn't hurt my feelings much, I'm not really the "chat room" sort.

respectfully,
~ curious ~

I figured I should answer this one being number eight on the top twenty list *grin* First, Master Melen (the one who owns me) has (Had? I dunno if it's still there after the version change.) a few pictures of me up. I don't have any pictures with the exception of a small few that He had me take of myself.

And I don't have permission to post the ones I do have here. Granted, I've never asked for permission, but I've always assumed the answer would be no. However, if anyone's interested in pictures of me in various states of undress and distress, there is a gallery (in desperate need of updating) on our website. It does require registering, however.

I do not think it matters how members contribute, by placing photos giving input in the forums or just as a spectator to learn. It is important to participate in some form just to keep the site active.

i only posted pics of me in the contest so people (mostly men whom contact me) could have a feel~see some real Sadomasochism~ surprizing how many "Sadists" contact me but dont hurt at all on even mild levels or how many "Sadists" contact me who are shocked i have scars. i myself rarely look at pics because theres really none that grab me(i like old style real Torture, heavy suffering and blood is always great) but darn it, i cant even buy porn~ i only forum when i feel i have something specific to add that noone else has and my perspective tends to be uhhh "insanely" unique~ and i only chat well i chat sometimes cause i am a gurl and there are times i have trouble shutting up

For us it is 24/7 thing based on more obedience and control than weekend play sessions.  When we do get to play it normally takes my girl to another level in her submission to me, and snapping photos isn't at the fore front of the mind at the time. 

I enjoy perusing the photos to see what others are doing and how they are pushing their slaves, but I also enjoy the forums.

Forum posters vs photo contributors

Ok for the bdsm 24/7 lifestylers out there.. It’s not just a weekend thing. Get together, whip and beat and make your sub/slave do all the things you both want to do and take a massive photo shoot, no.. Lets take each day of the year, its not all whipping, clamping those nipples and what nots. For many of us it is the mental obedience, in that, me à sub, takes care of most of the household duties, to include; loads and loads of the family wash, cleaning the floors, making the beds, vacuuming, running the dishwasher, shopping, doing the accounting , making dinner before Master arrives home,( whispers: and getting in your chat fix) , kk, so much more….you got the point.? And on those occasions when the timing is just right, a Good Hard Session…grins.., although many intimate moments in between, which a lot of times will not even include any kind of impact toy, but a clear one on one with each other as Dom, dominates, and sub obeys her Master.. I won’t go into the details but in reality, making pictures is just not feasible in the heat of Some moments, and if pictures are in fact taken, for us, they’re usually taken for the lifestyle art and for our own reasons, and a good training tool as well. Now, He’s had a few proud moments and has shared a few pictures. One in the contest so far and a few within my profile. The last one I had in my profile looked quite nilla, but if you had looked closer you would have seen my collar. No- not on the dog either...lol. Showing others pictures of being in the lifestyle can be very efficiently hidden from nilla eyes, but to put those in the contest, well, I’m sure the higher percentage of members are paying to see the naked pictures versus dressed, and probably wouldn‘t appreciate the photo anyhow of life styler pictures that are of normal everyday routine/chores. Yes I know, ”“But you can be naked right?“” Umm… well to answer that question, occasionally yes, when it’s warm. Master doesn’t want a sick sub.!!! LOL ..

Ok.. I hope you enjoyed my opinion and if not, well you can think of it this way. You got a minute or two, depends on how slow you read this post, of reading pleasure…~Lillian~

btroll,

I tend to be very similar to yourself, posting pictures but very rarely posting in the forums. I do read them but rarely post into them. I also have never been into chat even though I allow My sub to openly chat in the chatroom (very chatty without her gag...lol) I must have a look at some stage.

I post photos for a few reasons - yes humiliation, yes exhibitionism and also to show others what really happens in the Ds real world. I also know others get enjoyment out of looking at them and I hope they find it encouraging.

perhaps the Masters/Mistresses that post enjoy exhibitionism, and/or know their slaves do?

perhaps the posted pictures are also for humiliation?

as a percentage of total registered users, how many post?

to have 4 galleries uploaded by people out of the top 20 forum posters means 20% upload....... somehow dont think 20% of registered users upload their pictures!

as long as each enjoys their visit or participation in the site :)

I do not have a slave now and will not post photos of someone who is not my slave. But just because I don't have a slave, I don't think that's a good reason to not contribute in the forums.

May I be the first to reply? For Me it is a simple matter of not being extravert by nature. Things that happen at home will stay there and save for a few examples, I do not "share" much regarding My life. My reason for posting is more academical and discussion based.
