Photographed

@minnesotahere. Great account. Thanks for sharing that. Interesting that you were sort of OK with it (being young) and yet you sensed your Mom's slight unease. Also interesting that you noted a difference for that particular little session...viz...you were naked throughout ( which you were not usually ). Also interesting that you now wonder just how many of those c.50 or so exams were really necessary. Yes, all very interesting indeed.

I have had moles photographed during a real exam by my dermatologist. Some were in fairly private locations. I've been photographed a few times during play exams by my husband. It was fun but a little distracting. A few times he worked the photographing into the exam as part of the documentation of the experiment and that was hot.

So what do you do with the photos after that? Look at them together in a medfet oriented photo album?

Has his photographing you & you analyzing how the pics come out influenced how you "pose" for pics in the patient role, to give the pics that "I really look like a patient being examined" look, where maybe you try to embellish on it, you know, as like a "patient model".

The only time I've ever been photographed has been during a rolfing session (in underwear, not naked of course). The rolfer had me face him, to each side, and to the back and took photos of each. I can't imagine a scenario where you'd be photographed in a doctor's office...

I have photographed my wife in both real and play exams several times. She just grins and bares it... sorry bad pun.

After taking the nude photo I recommend removing it from the camera, and the computer (I store on removable media). If you lose or have camera or computer stolen with many nude photographs of yourself, friend or spouse, you may find yourself famous on one site and spread to another. (Remember 'European Vacation?) And do not pose for your significant other (SO). If you and SO split, the SO may decide to put your pictures on the internet out of spite.

With all the hundreds of millions - probably all the billions - of nude photos already on the Net, what would be the chances of someone you know chancing upon them? Seriously, what are the odds?

I have been looking for years for nude photos of friends or acquaintances and so far nothing of course, much to my regret.

I think modern people are just as paranoid as in the Middle Ages. Back then people were scared hair or nail clippings might fall into the hands of witches or sorcerers who would then do them awful harm and claim their eternal souls for the devil. The modern transposition of that fear would be having nude photos on the Net.

So, we take precautions that are recommended by security and espionage organizations ... ha ha ha

If you were planning to run for political office or hold a prominent position, then it's best to be discreet and protective as much as possible. Otherwise, who really cares? Think about it.

@darrenjames For the role play, did the doctors try to integrate the person taking the photographs into the role play by giving a "legit" medical reason for why he was there? Curious about your experience. (And a little jealous--sounds like a great metfet fantasy come true.)

The same goes for watching porn and leaving likes I suppose ... 😈 😈 😈

Although I don't have them posted here, I do have some pix on FL and another site, although I may close that account. Anyway, while my face is not shown, I am sure I could be identified. So I am taking a chance by posting them. That said, I don't have my pix on the computer hard drive. I have them on a memory stick with a lot of other files. Also, i have them in email attachments. While it's thrilling to see yourself "out there" I know I am taking a big chance. I would be mortified if they ever were connected to me. This is a very private aspect of my life and I literally have no friends, with one exception, who would understand this past time. So I guess, just be careful with what you do with your pictures. Unless, of course, you just don't care.

We keep ours on an external hard drive.

My girlfriend is always photographed during her play exams. One of the Doctors that sees her has his own photographer.

You're not concerned someone's taking pics of you girlfriend, with a potential share them, and then who knows where they might wind up?

I would have concerns also. It wouldn't take much, perhaps a falling out with the play doc to unleash a world of problems.

@patient84 the Dr's conducting the exam said that it needed to be photographed for evidence and legal reasons

My neighbor took photos of his x (and her new boyfriend) from her phone and sent it to all of HER contacts.....

It's not the "internet" that you should worry about.

That just sounds like old-fashioned 'stealing' ...

Yeah, he got in some trouble for that. The police weren't very happy with him.

I have not. I do feel that is an invasion of someone privacy. Unless they said it was OK to

do. Even if the patient says ok, they might not want this picture to exist later so I think its best to not take the picture at all.

If people think they may not want a photo of them to exist later on in the future, that logically means excluding photo taking - of any kind at all! That sometimes works well with reclusive artists and writers, augmenting their mysterious factor when they become famous and expensive.

I also often wonder if people realize that in this present time and era, we are all photographed and filmed constantly, almost from the moment we go outside our house till we go shopping or to work and likely all along the way back and forth.

Photographs can be hacked though. If something gets on the internet, that could be really bad. In my eyes, better safe than sorry.

21st century paranoia ... why go to the trouble of hacking nude photos when the world is metaphorically awash in printed and virtual nude imagery? And lots of it for free.

And even if there were nude (medical) photos of me put on-line, who would think to look and search for them and who would be able to find them? And if there were nude medical photos of people on-line, what would really be the big deal? Being nude for some treatments is quite understandable. Nothing reprehensible about that, unlike say your run-of-the-mill hypocritical gay-bashing religious leader or politico caught with porn on his machine ... and hell, even their careers don't really always suffer that much when found out.

For me the issue with medical photos was more how I felt when they were taken.

I already know there’s photos of all parts of me out there - some that I’ve uploaded myself. It might not always be how I feel but it really doesn’t bother me. They’re just naked parts of a body. I’ve rarely taken photos that aren’t close ups and I’m comfortable with people seeing them. I’ve even shown some to friends when I’ve been sitting next to them.

What was very different about medical photos for me was posing how I was told, topless, in front of a professional photographer in the middle of bright lights. It felt how I’d imagine a glamour shoot would and that made me really uncomfortable. It didn’t even really feel clinical. I think it would have been far easier if it was just done as part of the exam. Even on that occasion I’m comfortable enough with the photos existing, being seen and shared. I just hope I can’t be identified

What I am saying is lets say someone wanted to hack you specifically. They could do a lot of damage if they wanted. Today, employers check the internet. If they see a photo of you when you are at a docs office with little to no clothes, you could be in huge trouble.

@agracier While I generally agree with your post, thats when pics are put up to a site like this, or some other medfet community, The chances of any other vanilla person finding them (family, friends, coworkers) is pretty low.

However, the problem is with revenge porn. When their ex purposely send pics or links to their family or work, etc. This really happens and it really hurts people. I had a real reason to be pissed off at my ex, when my marriage failed and she moved out. And I had pics that could have made her life and career very difficult. But why? To make myself feel "better", at the expense of my kids? If her life is more difficult, how would that be better for our kids, and our relationship. Given our kids were young, I knew I had to deal with her for 20 more years at least!

So many people really need to just grow up! Pics can be a lot of fun to take and capture the moments to look back on. But you do need to believe in that person and trust that they are mature enough to handle it.

I think if an employer is checking out pics of you taken during your physical, the employer could be in huge trouble.

I dont mean an employer looking uo you at a physical naked, i mean the employer looking up your name and then a pic of you naked coming up. If the pic got on the internet with your name, that would be the search result.

You beat to posting the same observation.

Who (as employer) would ever have a legitimate reason to be looking up medical photos of a prospective employee? What employer even has the right to look up a prospective employee's medical records without consent?

Sometimes i think too many people have been tricked into thinking backwards (and upside down/inside out) on what employers are all supposedly permitted to do. We are not peasants and they are not nobility (yet).

No but. I did volunteer for a collection of genital photos being compiled for med students. It seemed a serious enterprise but still couldn't help but be erotic as he focused a high end SLR digital camera on my genitalia.
