My Ex's Spot Marked In Online Gallery — What To Do?
found on: Planet Out

Sex:Pornography
dave920 writes "Have you ever been nonchalantly browsing through an online adult photo gallery when suddenly you spot somebody you know? A recent "Savage Love" column on PlanetOut tells the tale of one individual who thinks he's found nude pictures of his ex-girlfriend on a webcam screenshot gallery.

Have any of you ever found pictures of someone you know around the Web in places you wouldn't expect? What did you do about it? Blackmail them, have a good laugh or surprise them with the pictures they didn't know even existed?"

Blackmail? Do about it? If I found pictures of an ex in awkward poses on the web, I'd merely be testing my html code.

    The reader's not even sure it's his friend's ex- in the picture. In fact, the whole question sounds suspiciously made-up -- like that slumber party hoax Ann Landers fell for.

    It was nonetheless reprinted in The San Francisco Examiner this week -- fueling that argument about whether prefer scandals to information. I guess it's still a tantalizing meme -- but only as a hypothetical situation...

I did, on a newsgroup not a website though. True story. Very strange feeling. I'm sure it is her too, besides the face and body there is a large and incriminating mole.

Never brought it up though. You couldn't see the face of the man in the picture, and didn't want to cause trouble...never know if it was her husband or not...or even if she knew it was taken. Figured it was better if too many people didn't see it.

So anyway, let me know if you want a copy!

6.  Opposite problem

"Have any of you ever found pictures of someone you know around the Web in places you wouldn't expect?"

I've actually had the opposite problem: I heard through several reliable sources that the first girl I ever made-out with, way back when, had done at least several scenes for a variety of porn outlets. Naturally, I felt compelled to see them: she was hot when we were 13, but I hadn't seen her since 15.

Alas, I haven't seen any of these alleged scenes, but it does give me an excuse, other than just plain leering, to occasionally do some "research."

8.  It's happened to me...

An old girlfriend of mine has some topless pictures on the internet. It's sort of a weird feeling knowing that any of my friends (or anybody else) might see them.

But then again, she is a topless dancer now so it's not like the pictures on the internet are anything different from what she does 5 nights a week. I'm sure she knows I've seen the pictures, but since I've also seen her dance (something she started doing after we broke up) I doubt she'd care.

I'd provide a link to her photos, except that I'm not that big of a fucking scumbag. Sorry.

10.  Yup, happened to a friend on Something Awful

Found out the hard way that a friend was into being an adult baby. Went to Something Awful one day, and it was like..."Isn't that Jim? But...he's wearing...diapers!"

Closer look...gosh, that sure looks like Jim's couch.

Spot the picture in the background.

Ew! I sat on that couch!

It was fairly shocking to say the least. I couldn't look at him for a long time, then I told him what had happened.

So here's a tip...if you are going to put pics of yourself on the web doing whatever it is you do...make sure it's in an empty room with no identifying furniture :-)

11.  True story
 by Long Tall Wally  3.5 scholarly 
  at Tue 4 Jun 9:09amscore of 3.5 scholarly
  
I had a related but different experience...

A few years ago while traveling in another city, I spotted a guy whom I immediately recognized, because I had a dozen or so naked pictures of him at home on my hard drive. He apparently saw me staring, because he vanished almost immediately after making eye contact. This guy's pics show up in the newsgroups a couple of times a year, so I'm sure he's been approached before... as I'd have done, once I worked up my nerve. :)

I felt kind of bad about running him off, but as a friend said to me later, "Once you've been naked on the Internet, you're everybody's business."

14.  Three times, actually
 by phong3d  2.5 compelling 
  at Tue 4 Jun 9:47amscore of 2.5 compelling
  
I dated a girl in high school who was a couple of years younger than me. I found out (from her) that after she graduated, she moved to Chicago, shaved her head, and did a lot of BDSM lesbian porno. She showed me some of her glossies and videos ("wow, you look... different!"), but I haven't found them on the web as of yet.

The other occurrence was a picture of another girl in an old HS who's making the porno rounds as well. I - quite surprisingly - got her picture in some email spam from the site she was featured on -- the terrifically named UltraTeen (most assuredly NSFW). I don't remember her screen name, but she's blonde (like that's distinctive).

Finally, I didn't date her, but our old college homecoming queen got into the porn movie scene after graduating. She's now showing up in softcore photoshoots under her real name, so I'll print it - Jamie Palazzolo (NSFW again). It took forever for my friends and I to find one of her adult videos, since we couldn't decipher her screen name from the online adult databases. Perseverance paid off, however. We found the movie, but it was fairly disappointing. (Pick-Up Lines 18 if anyone's interested).

I was walking down a street in San Francisco, doing the window shopping thing when, lo and behold, I see a picture of my ex-girlfriend's brother on a flyer...a flyer advertising the in-store appearance of a gay porn superstar (I looked up his alias on the Internet and evidently, he is the Jenna Jameson of gay porn). He had always told his parents (his dad was a preacher) that he was a model. I guess he forgot to mention that he uses a lot of "props" when he does his modeling... I still don't think the family knows the truth. I've been tempted to drop a couple of photos in the mail but my human side always wins out.

      The same thing happened to me the day I learned you can't spell "Omens and Portents" without "Teen Porn". I explained to my manager and the company network administrator that I just wanted my Wednesday horoscope, but when I tried to demonstrate this I learned that you can't spell "Wednesday horoscope" without "Coed Whores".

      I know it sound weird, but I went to a site called freakylinks.com. While looking at the many listings on this weird site that I stumbled onto, I saw "Fat Goth Chicks" and thought "noooo" It couldn't be. Sure enough there she was in all her glory wearing her pink rimmed glasses being exploited. It really was an accident that I found it.

27.  I'd Recognize That Moan Anywhere

Once when I was waiting tables, a woman who was a good ten years older than me asked me to come back to her hotel room with her when I got off work. I did, and I have to say it was a good choice. About a year later, I was at a friend's house who had pirated satellite TV, and we were watching the Hot Network or something, and guess who was...how should I put this...totally getting nailed by some girl with a strap-on(apologies for the crudeness, but the film and the act were in fact mighty crude).

I jumped out of my chair and told everyone that was the woman I'd gone home with the previous summer, and of course they were skeptical.

For about a day I was pretty juiced that I'd actually gotten it on with a porn star, but then I thought about how lucky I was that I hadn't caught some disease, and now I don't know how to feel about the whole thing. I can't even watch an adult film anymore because I now think about the fact that porn stars are actual people, and it kills the whole fantasy angle. It was certainly a strange experience.

28.  Don't Know If It Counts...
 by MrTripps  2 novel 
  at Tue 4 Jun 3:24pmscore of 2 novel
  
...but a friend of mine has a stack of pictures of his ex's that he shows around...one of which happens to be my current (although we were not dating when he showed them to me). On one hand I could see how someone would get pissed if someone was showing naked pictures of their girlfriend to other people without the girl knowing about it. On the other hand...it's a really good picture. She looks hot. Also that crowd is prone to skinny dipping, so it is kind of redundant. I decided to act like a grown up and let it slide.

On another note I was in a bar one night and a 40ish woman comes up and says "I know you! You're that porn star! My husband and I think you have a great cock!" Surely one of the weirdest things anyone has ever said to me since I've never been in a porno. She gave me a name (which I have sense forgotten) and I looked the guy up. Clean head. Goatee. Very similar build and face. I could see how someone who didn't know me could think I was the same guy. But it wasn't. Goes to show that if you try to out someone about their public nudity you may just end up outing yourself as a perv. Until this country gets over it's sexual hang ups it's best to let kinky .jpg's remain secret. Except amongst your friends on Plastic of course!

I've discovered that my wife is an exhibitionist. We've taken some pictures of her and put them up on a website, posted them to a couple of newsgroups. And she's gotten some replies back. Those replies really melted her butter, if you know what I mean.

I've joked about anonymously sending the url to her old boyfriend, but she nixed the deal. But it is not at all impossible that he's seen them. Hell, I just found out he'd been screwing her ass when she told me she was a virgin, so I know he's seen it all before.

30.  The Tale Of The Ex-Wife And The Pony Girl Site
 by vitanuova  3 interesting

I'm an old surfer, and this reminds me of a tale of revenge through the phosphorescent screen.

(My apologies, I wanted to reach for the pinnacle of coolness just once. As you can see, I failed.)

A friend of mine, who was a DJ in several strip clubs around town fell hard for one of the girls who he played Whitesnake CDs for. Eventually and unfortunately, he ends up impregnating and marrying this woman.

After two years and two kids, he realizes that hooking up with an unstable meth freak cum slut wasn't the ace decision it seemed to be in his candy coated dreams. They go their separate ways, each taking one of the kids.

Now, my friend has a thing for pornography so kinky that it makes even one such as me shy away from the screen, and on one of his daily quests for digipoon he comes across a new extreme bondage site. Looking through the list of preview pics, he sees -- what's this? -- His vile ex-wife being led about on a bridle with a buttplug altered to resemble a pony tail in the appropriate place? Could this be true?! He coughs up the subscription fee for the site to make absolutely sure that it was her. And it was. His ex wife in every degrading pose and scene imaginable. Cages, ropes, needles, everything that represents the worst of the porn industry, his mentally repugnant ex-wife was the star. The first thing he does is email the proprietor of the site requesting more pics of "Sally", while suggesting scenarios and poses.

After a couple of weeks, he decides that he would utilize his knowledge in the most proper way he possibly could. He contacted his wife, told her that he knows of the site and that if she didn't continue to hold sessions with the photographer he would turn over the pictures as evidence in their custody battle. She consented, and as far as I know, the pictures continue to be placed on the web to this very day.

    "Cages, ropes, needles, everything that represents the worst of the porn industry"

    Sorry I gotta call you on that, but I resent the insinuation that BDSM or any type of latex,leather or rope play represents the worst in the porn industry. Seriously, if you think that's the worse the sex industry can come up with (no pun intended) then I can mail you some more, uhm, unpleasant, site links. Suffice to say that BDSM between consenting adults is actually one of the more respectable aspects of our (the human races) prurient pursuits. When done right, it's not even a sex issue, it's about trust.

    Ok soapbox over, but remember, one mans/womans/non-specifieds meat is another mans/womans/non-specifieds tight slick black latex mini-skirt with matching mask and heels.

      We've just got a difference of opinion on the matter. I think that one person dominating another sexually is degrading to even consider, while others would probably find my penchant for fisting and watersports disgusting. Maybe my bad experience with a professional dominatrix ex girlfriend turned me off from that scene for good. Whatever it was, I now like my sex totally clothing free and without any noninsertable props.

      Be assured I'm not campaigning for any laws restricting your choice of lifestyle. I just hope we can both agree that this anorexic porn site is the most disgusting and disturbing destination on the internet.

        Some questions rush to mind:

        a) Why is it degrading if one person gets off being dominated?

        b) How is it not degrading to piss on someone else, even if they like it?

        c) How is sticking your fist up someone else's genital / anal orifice not degrading, even if they like it?

        You're fooling yourself, pal. I've been in all of the above. It's all about domination, role-played domination, but domination nonetheless.

          It depends upon the mindsets of those involved in the activity. To me and my gf, piss play and fisting are about bringing us as close as we can possibly be to each other. There's no domination by one of the other. No role-playing, no degradation, just being so close to each other that we flow through the others blood. It's entirely egalitarian in nature. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it is not at all about domination or role-playing in the least.

      It occurs to me that the general opinion here is that it's some kind of strange and freaky experience seeing your friend's porno on the net. I ask: why? (note that it's never happened to me, I prefer Playboy)

      If they were any kind of real friend, they'd have shown you for themselves by now. Not to mention that if you did decide to say anything to them (not likely), the first thing you'd have to do is admit you were "nonchalantly browsing through" some porn on the net. So much so, in fact, that you managed to overcome the statistically unlikely probability that you'd actually see the 3 pictures of your friend on an obscure teen porn site.

      Now, what's so weird? That your friend took porn pix or that you are such a porn monkey that you've actually seen them, and can compare them in detailed terms to other porn you've seen?

      My husband, CaptainLiberal, ordered the entire set of "Caught on Tape" videos. While fast forwarding through most of the clips we came upon a segment of a guy and a girl engaged in various sexual acts in a stairwell. Since the video is from a security camera the quality is not all that great. Something about the guy in the video caught our attention, and we rewound to the beginning of the clip. This was filmed in a building near where we live, and upon close inspection we realized that the guy in the video was a former roommate of ours.

      Since we parted on bad terms with this guy I have never been able to verify our suspicions, but it was him...

      since I have butt shots on my own website, I would say I would do ... nothing.

      49.  Just a public service

      Are you kidding? I consider it a public service to look for pictures of naked friends on the internet. It's a task that I selflessly devote many an hour to.

      51.  It surprises me...

      It surprises me - at least on some level - that in this day and age, people still do the naked photo thing.

      Let's consider this: a few years ago if you SO had your photos, or maybe a film of you getting it on, after a hard and painful breakup (let say you... oh... cheated on them with their best friend?) the worst that would happen is they would have the movie at some local video store, maybe a couple of copies would make the rounds among 100-200 people tops. Photos could get sent off to a magazine, but that gives a target to sue, and let's be honest, those magazines don't have great distribution.

      Now, all you need is a digital camera, scanner or firewire port. Toss your stuff online in a matter of minutes, post on alt.sex.binaries, share it via Kazaa and gnutella. Post the really freaky stuff on a WWW server, have Google index it with their real name, so that potential employers can't miss it.

      Let them feel the shame and pain you felt! Absolve yourself of all blame saying that a hacker must've stolen it. Revenge has never been so easy!

        Wow, you've really put a lot of thought into this. I think you've got enough to go into business for yourself as a reputation smasher... If you have good photo manipulation skills, they don't even need incriminating photos to start you off. Yikes!

      61.  Advice

      Not that I ever would, of course, but if one were [i]going[/i] to do some naked pictures, here's some advice: Never let your face or anything recognizeable about your surroundings appear in the same frame with any genetalia or other embarrassing body parts. You'll be fine, then.

      Not that I ever would.

      on the internet, there are photo stills of a guy I know (ex-boyfriend of a close gay friend) taken from an amateur gay porn movie. In the movie (and the photos) the guy is... well... having anal intercourse with one of those orange roadside cones.

      I've never managed to find them, although my friend says they exist. I'd love to see them, just for the laugh and point value of it.

      65.  Ty Fox, aka Jeff Bruton

      the Savage Love scenario's never happened to me, but here're excerpts from a 1996 story on a similar scenario, involving a middle school gym coach (complete with wife and kid, in the conservative Virginia exurbs) moonlighting as a gay porn actor:

      "Washington Post reporters viewed two movies featuring Ty Fox and compared them with photos of Bruton. It appeared to be the same person...

      "News of Bruton's activities surprised parents, students and School Board members. Bruton, who spent long hours in the gym toning his body, was admired for his heavily muscled physique. He was well liked by students and parents."

      fwiw, Bruton is back in the business, albeit with a different stage name. a documentary is also available.

      btw, you can read a more complete and pop-up-free (unlike littered-with-ads PlanetOut) Dan Savage archive at his home paper, The Stranger.

      Have any of you seen him before?
