I think it's entirely personal, and I wouldn't judge anybody for being less, er, voyeuristic than me.

I'm kinda into it TBH.

From my perspective, what's the worse that could happen? Russia already has my dick pics, probably. If someone sent them to my mom, I'd say, "mom, don't look at those." If they sent them to my employer, I'd say "hey guys, looks like I was hacked lol." Probably wouldn't be fired over it and if I was I could just get a different job. If it somehow blew up on the internet I'd just become an anonymous remote contract worker or something.

This is kind of a fun exercise in threat management actually, the threat being my dadbod being exposed. Maybe I'm not taking it seriously enough? I know people that have had naked pictures of them exposed and it was traumatizing for them. For some reason I just don't think it would be for me.

EDIT: That's not to say the exposure wouldn't be an objectively shitty thing to do... just because I think I can handle it doesn't mean anybody else should have to worry about this kind of thing happening to them.
