      Re: For those with such saucy snaps, the solution is straightforward:

      I've often wondered where all those wankymen bonerpix come from on the doofus contact sites. Maybe those poor vulnerable sensitive heteroguys were blackmailed into waving *their* willies online. I always assumed they lifted them from Grindr.

      As for the FBI, I assume they work on the "300 strikes and out" principle when it comes to sextorted laydeepr0n..

        "300 strokes and out" maybe?

      Old-fashioned and repressed.

      There is nothing wrong with skin - we just live in a very curious social construct that says covering up is somehow morally better than nakedness, rather than being something purely practical that should be done in response to environmental conditions.

    Hmmm

    The only way these girls could be blackmailed, I'd assume, would be because he already has one or more full frontal pics to use as leverage. So why would they just produce more of the same knowing if he's blackmailed once he probably won't stop after the second set and will then have even more leverage?

    If the (original) pictures aren;t that racy then the threat/blackmail wouldn't really stand. It all sounds a bit weird to me, if you've already seen them all starkers and just get a few more pics from different angles what's the point...

    I wonder what the ratio of going through with his demands vs telling him to fornicate off are. Must be a few weighed up the options I guess.

      The originals might just be boobs or full frontal. The latter extortion ones may be touch your toes, ankles as earrings, root vegetables etc. Use your imagination, it's hardly going to be the same but turned a little to the right. I still can't understand why they did it though. The hole, as they say, is just getting deeper.

      That's how blackmail always works isn't it.

    Maybe the facebook generation...

    Who have gotten used to everything they do and say being instantly broadcast to everyone they know will be less constrained by the corrupt standards of old. Maybe 'sexting' will make the human body a bit less taboo. We can only hope.

    Nude paintings art art vs public nakedness is degenerate

    Looking at naked people, natural vs being a naked person, natural

    skimpy beach wear acceptable vs skimpy evening wear slutish/weird

    ad nauseum

      Funny thing is most of the older art featuring nudes was simply yesterday's porn, they were just better at justifying/legitamising it "Well yes M'dear it's a scene from a Greek myth, very cultural and uplifting eh?"

    IT at schools?

    My IT lessons at school involved learning:

    10 PRINT "Hello World!"

    20 GOTO 10

    and trying to be first to get there to have a go on the Acorn not the BBC Basics.

    I would hope that IT now covers far more, in fact if I were in charge I'd have a technical lesson and then alternate that with one about other aspects of IT and how it affects our lives. Learning how to use a computer isn't just about programming these days or hardware like it was when I was in secondary school in the early 90's but about so much more. Lessons on how to secure your data, including pictures you might not want to get out, should be part of the school curriculum. Like it or not, IT should also be a mandatory lesson up there with Maths, English and Science.

    Oh and...

    Paris because she knows all about securing her smut. At least she should do by now...

      Shouldn't that be "knowing how to leak her smut for maximum PR exposure?"

    Joke

    he should have got a job at PC World

    If he wanted to take pornographic pictures from other peoples PCs, he should have got himself a job at PC world.

    I dont think he needs locking up for long. A week behind bars, a psychiatrist, and some free porn sites would be better.
