Please include a photo

“Please include a photo” is a note in a personal ad or when making first contact, meaning that the person replying should attach a photo. The advertiser wants to get a first impression of the other person’s appearance and decide whether further contact is desirable.

The phrase is not BDSM-specific, but it is commonly used in dating and personal ads. It is important that photos are only sent voluntarily and with awareness of privacy. People should also consider data protection and the possible misuse of images.
