How would you handle the situation if an ex-lover was blackmailing you under the threat of posting nude pictures of you on the Internet?

Dispose of them…the picture or the ex-lover…

I’d quickly take some new, more flattering nude shots of myself and post them first.

Blackmail is a criminal offense.
Do you know what you do when you see a criminal?

That’s right, you contact the police.

@Zen hahaha

First off, why would he be blackmailing me? What would he want in exchange of posting the pictures?
Second, if he were stupid enough to even call me or write to me, I’d take the records to the police, and file a report.
Third, I would be embarassed if they got on the net, but I have a great body so I would just hope my child or family never ran across the pictures lol

Get them to discuss it by email, then file charges with the police department or sheriff office cyber crimes division in his or her area.

This is something I have considered since I have sent nude pictures of myself. There is nothing I’d comply to as far as blackmail, let them post the pics and if there’s any law they break then I’ll go from there. Anymore, I figure my former nudies are going to be shared around at some point and it’s my own fault for sending them in the first place.

@VzzBzz @casheroo Why wait? Send them to me and I’ll let you know. ;-)

Send me copies and I will monitor all major ex gf sites and amateur porn venues free of charge to ensure they are never posted

An X g/f of mine gave me some pictures a while back, and I promised to delete them if/when we ever broke up. Well we had a protracted break up and I wasn’t sure we were really going to be broken up, but finally after like 2–3 weeks of time had passed I figured we weren’t getting back together so I deleted them. The next day my laptop was stolen from my house, so she lucked out there :), lol.

In another fun story I found a VERY graphic photo of a girl I know online once. It’s kind of awkward hanging out with her now, but I don’t have the heart to tell her.

@westy81585: That’s not as bad as when my best friend and I found his other friend on a gay porn site and spent about six hours googling. The kid is like the Zac Efron of gay porn. He’s fucking everywhere everybody.

It was hilarious.

i agree with @Zen post some yourself and beat ex lover to the punch.
Blackmail ending in 3….2….1….

i’d just post some nudes of myself on the internet first

I agree with what others have said, if you’re proud of your body and he seems really serious about it (what a dick, btw) maybe enlist the help of a photographer friend and take some pictures of you scantily clad and send them to any mutual friends he’s threatening to send them to first.

@qualitycontrol and @westy81585 and other knowledgeable gentleman——just out of curiosity, where should chicks be worried about such things showing up on the net?

Blackmailing for what? for money? Are you paying? Stop paying. Something else? Stop paying.

Generally, people look to avoid having others see them naked, all this post them before he can is bullshit. Still hurts the victim in most cases. Just report him, wtf.

Post away. I look pretty good nude.

@emilia_eclaire There’s lots of “amateur sites” that people can sign up to and post pictures of themselves. And sites that offer free memberships to people willing to submit photos of themselves. The sites all have the legal information up saying that you need to either be the person in the pictures and/or have permission of anyone in the photos, but obviously that won’t stop people who want to just post up naked pictures of people out of revenge or just plain jack-assery.

What makes it worse, is that many (like hundreds if not thousands) of amateur sites make up their entire list of content off stuff they have scavenged off the internet from other free sites or pay sites. So a picture posted of someone can literally float around on different sites for years, decades, or who knows how long (the internet is still less than 2 decades old so who knows). The same goes for videos and such.

If you’re considering giving pictures or something to someone I would be ABSOLUTELY certain and think long and hard about the possibility those pictures might end up either on the internet, or at least seen by people OTHER THAN the intended recipient (especially post break up). Not every guy is like me and will erase them at a break up, and even if they’re like me, you never know when something might happen out of their control (like how my computer was stolen the day after I erased them, had it been a day earlier those pictures could be on the net right now or who knows).

@westy81585

thanks for this info! fortunately i’ve never given nude pics to an ex! and i really don’t think i’ve ever dated anyone with a blackmailing bone in their body either, but who knows. i’ve always wondered where such photos ended up though. the idea that they float around for years on end is pretty frightening.

I would not give in, I would call his bluff, and ask him to give me the link if he actually had the stones to do it. I would then immediately contact the site hosting his account and those pics and say to them that you will sue them for copyright infringement because he don’t have a signed model release for your pics, that should silence the pics, then i would sue the pants off him for posting them, he would have walked right into the trap like the dumb SOB he is.
