I know that in the US you can take these kind of pictures free of persecution, but should we? This is beyond creepy... I know that we can take and keep these pictures for whatever we want because of the First Amendment... I know that we have a fetish that is marginalized, despite the abundant pornography that adheres to it. I understand and accept that. My problem is people taking pictures of women/girls without their consent.
That is my only problem.
11+ pregnancy I understand, it is physiological. That is not by problem.
My problem is that people take pictures without consent. Are we THAT sapped for content? NO...
Please, if you are going to argue against me, please do so in a WISE and DIGNIFIED manner

Why does it matter? You don't do it. And the people that do, probably don't care. There's plenty of pervy guys taking under skirt shots all the time, its not like theres a lack of that on the internet either. At the end of the day its all about opinions. Is candid shots bad? Is preggo fetish bad? Is looking at sexy women on the internet bad? Any of these things can be argued either way. If it bothers you, don't look at it.

I agree. I'd be pretty appalled to find a candid picture of me on this site.

I will say, though, that we live in a time where you're constantly being recorded without really knowing how the footage is used.
Nearly every store has security cameras.
They're on traffic lights.
Nearly every cell phone has a camera.
It even looks like police officers will soon be required to wear them.

Think about how many photos you're probably in - or how much video footage in the world includes you.
People often complain about being recorded but what they're really concerned with is how the footage is used.
I don't see how you can split those hairs, especially in this day and age.

I don't think other people doing something makes it morally right. Rather something would be morally right if the majority of people find it acceptable. I highly doubt a majority of the population would support candid pictures being taken of them for others to masturbate to.

The definition of a candidate is exactly what we are doing. Google it. As long as your not selling it then it's legal. I take pics all the time. I just act like im texting.

The OP isn't asking about the legality of it. I think he's more concerned with the morality.
While you're talking about the legality, though, I don't think it's that black and white.
I'm FAR from an expert, but I think (in the US) there's something called a reasonable expectation of privacy. Somehow I think a good lawyer could stretch that reasonable expectation pretty far.

Another thing to consider is that laws are different in different countries/regions. It's hard to give blanket advice when someone may be posting from somewhere foreign to you.

Do you think its more acceptable to post pictures of pregnant women found all over various sources to get off to? I'm not arguing that candid shots are morally ambiguous, it just seems moot comparitively when considering it happens regardless. Add that this is a found content fetish site for mostly late term pregnant women. Anyone can argue minus the candid photos, the rest of the site is questionable as well.

I totally agree! Just because we have a fetish doesn't mean that you can go out and creeply follow around pregnant, soon to be moms. Have some respect for her and yourself. It is disgusting to think that if I was gonna get pregnant someday and I could be a walking fap tool. Think about your Moms! They just want to getto a store and get back home quickly and there are people filming them in that state. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE pregnancy! But only when the other person loves it back!

What we're discussing here is voyeurism, not maiesiophilia. They're different things, but in the case of surreptitiously snapping photos of pregnant women, suddenly the two fetishes are merged. That's why this topic is confused.

tomostrife and Funny123 are on to something. When we pull photos of pregnant women from their Facebooks, Instagrams, mommy forums, or wherever else, that's a form of voyeurism -- sort of. Because they're basically out in public, yet we've taken their image and used it in a way they probably never thought possible. That's also what happens when people snap photos of pregnant women on their phones without consent. It's all without consent. It's all the same, just with varying degrees of... well, creepiness. Now, personally, candids don't do anything for me, but I'm not about to trot around on a high horse and act as though I'm much better than those who like them. That's not fair.

If you want to point fingers at the voyeurs, which you have every right to do, you have to look in the mirror first. Do you enjoy innocuous photos of pregnant women, taken by the women themselves, with the intent to share with their friends or showcase their bumps just because they're overjoyed about having babies? I know it's blurring the lines, but that's a little voyeuristic. I mean, hell, I love that shit, I think it's very sweet and even intimate in a way. But as we know full well, it certainly pisses the women off and makes them feel violated. So am I any better than a dude who snaps pictures in public without permission? I don't believe so.

I agree with Marky that pregnancy is a lot hotter when it's knowingly shared by the mother... like in clips, or exhibitionist moms who show up here and post for us (love you guys so much), and so forth. Nothing's hotter than a woman who's turned on by her own pregnancy and wants others to feel it with her. *drool* And I sure as shit enjoy that. But I also like taking a good glance at a hottie when I'm out in public, or to study a beautiful picture of a pregnancy (or a progression series!) in the privacy of my own home. It's difficult to draw the line. Hell, not only difficult, but probably pointless. I like the pregnant form. I like it pretty much however I can get it.

I think it all comes down to the same thing we keep saying: look, but don't touch. If a woman's picture ends up on this site and makes a bunch of nasty strangers happy and that information never, ever makes it back to the woman or anyone who knows her, has any harm truly been done? I understand that by some measure, she has been violated, but pragmatically here -- it never touches her life at all. This is not a zero sum game -- that's a net gain, period. Hopefully that doesn't seem like a bunch of bullshit rationalization, but I really think it's all good.
