Yes not a problem- one of my girls I've never seen & it wouldn't bother me if I was to never see her. Well I've seen parts of her, but that was her idea, I didn't request it, & have never seen her face.

A good point is that others can hack into your IM program & steal pics or videos, I'd imagine.

The overriding thing is to be comfortable, any D/s relationship requires a huge amount of trust on the part of the sub- less so for the Dom.

I don't think you're being the least bit paranoid kinkst3r. Better to spend your life searching, than to compromise yourself with someone you don't trust.

I speak from experience here- a very good friend allowed a Dom to photograph her in a compromising postition in a r/l session. Some months after the relationship ended, she found her pics on a web site.
