Why choose to be faceless?

Why do men (and some woman on here) choose to have faceless profiles?

This is not your basic T-gurl support web site. It is a porn site. Most people wouldn't want it known that they like to watch porn. As Jen aludes to; even a worse stigma would be that you like tranny porn. I doubt that it is on anyone's resume~.
For this same reason they use a "handle" instead of their real name. ( like Aust 1 n ) A lot of guys I've chatted with suddenly have to leave. Their wife entered the room. So I guess the theory is that T-porn is still considered a "dark side" that most don't want to be identified with. ( excuse me for ending a sentence with a preposition. I could end it with a proposition.)

I've worked as a photographer for a good portion of my life; commercial gigs, weddings, fashion, etc. The last 10 or 12 years, I've been 'retired' from the commercial side and have concentrated on doing 'fine-art' photography. A big part of that has been working with the nude figure, almost all GG (that's what galleries and collectors are after) but a few male nudes from time to time.

Many of my models choose to be anonymous, and they do so for a variety of reasons. Mostly, it's for job security. We live in a land (the US) where nude = sex = very bad. It's getting better, but we've a looong way to go. Some of the pro models I've worked with may have clauses in other contracts (a clothing line they rep as an example) that say 'no nude work - or you and this six-figure deal are done.' Others just simply don't want the hassle of being judged by others for what is a very personal decision.

Why remain faceless here? The same reasons, ad nauseum. Mostly though, it's because many don't want to be 'outed' such as it is. That's pretty much why I'm faceless - and yes, that is me in my av. I'm just not ready for the world to know. That said, the people that matter in my life already know.

My avatar pic is not what I look like.
They were stolen off the net. (The pic is actually a Latvian newsreader)

But then again, I only did this after Auts1n stole my photo and used it both as his avatar
....and on his security pass at the university.
I don't mind except he makes me write all his course essays.

Aust1n's real name is Catherine.
Here is a pic taken last week during a mid-term course practical exam!
