Not Your Average Photo Thread

1 is my favorite. also 2, 8 and 19.

 

[Galene]

Just thought I'd put all of the avatars that I've used at various times in a single place. Would love to hear which are your favorites.

1 and 8, in that order.

I like: 1, 2, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 19.

Throwing my vote behind 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 17, 18, 19

But i made a top 6 after looking and looking,.........

1, 9, 6, 10, 15, 19

I like numbers 1 and 8.

The back and chest are my favorite parts of a man... besides the obvious one.

1 is my favorite. also 2, 8 and 19.

1 and 8, in that order.

My thanks to everyone who has participated so far.

The early tally is in:

#1 is the narrow leader with 5 votes.

#19 is in a close second with 4 votes.

#6 and #15 are tied for third with three votes.

Ten more different AVs have either one or two votes apiece, leaving seven with no votes at all.

I'm finding it interesting how *my* favorite image(s) aren't the popular favorites.

I agree with y'all on #1 and #19 (first and second). They're favorites of mine as well.

#6 (tied for third) I hardly ever "wear"; #15 (also 3rd) I've *NEVER* worn as an avatar, though I like the image. It just felt a bit "forward" as a first impression maker.

And my personal favorite has gotten only one vote.

Curious.

Thanks again and keep the input coming?

So going to share which is your personal favourite?

Sure. *smile*

At the moment my favorite is #18:

I've "showcased" the large version of that image top/center on Page One of this thread.

My feelings are likely to change, though.

Great choice. Definitely one of my favs...but then you knew that.

Well, I don't really care for restraints. I think both parties should be able to employ all of their body into the sexual game.
Control as in mind control, that's another story

What's the famous saying?

"Once you've got em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."

Like I've said elsewhere previously, bondage isn't a lifestyle thing for me. Rather, it's an occasional game.

And for me the restraints *are* precisely about their effect on the mind.

Not for me. Any kind of physical restraint or abuse will only produce negative reaction on my part. Mind control is much more subtle, it's based on willingness to be controlled, not on bodily enforcement.

I don't think it's that simple, that black and white. Mind & body are inextricably connected, and what you do to one will inevitably overlap onto the other.

I guess that's why there are 31 flavors, eh?

I agree that the voluntary/willing nature of submitting to someone else's control is part of its beauty (a HUGE part).

Can you imagine, however, teasing/stimulating/arousing a partner beyond all voluntary control? Or being so teased/stimulated?

I think of it like hobbling a race horse -- which is not done to *punish* the horse. Rather, it's done lovingly in order to care for and protect him/her.

Well okay but it overlaps in different ways on different people.
I can only talk about myself here... so, if a partner chose to tie me up, it would feel 1) as an insult, because he would be doubting my willingness to submit to his control and 2) as a disappointment, because to me it would translate as lack of self confidence on his part.
I would have been totally turned off and would probably kick him in the nuts and then out of the house and my life

*taking notes*

Good to know.

Like I said, good think there are 31 flavors. And no one person likes the same flavor every day of the week.

Edited to add:

You've *never* pulled away -- even momentarily and involuntarily -- from a lover's touch? I'm sure you have. Never wondered what it would be like to be *unable* to pull away from a "too good to stand" touch? I don't see anything insulting here.

I'd rather be told in a low, calm, authoritative voice what to do or not do.
The restraints would only serve as proof that he lacked self confidence or I was unwilling to comply or both
