What are the benefits of showing your real face?
I work in a fairly conservative field, nursing. Working some fields and showing one's face on a sex toy site could compromise some of our careers. I'm not ashamed of what I do on Eden, but many of my patients... I don't know how they feel about things like this and it could negatively impact my career if a patient saw my face in a lot of places.
I think sometimes "comfy" websites give us a false sense of security. Anybody could come onto Eden and see our faces. I prefer to not be recognized as "that chick who reviews sex toys" in either my professional life, or at the PTA or in my community.
Just my issue I guess. But, when one has a career that requires one to be discreet with other peoples' information, it causes one to think about WHO you want to know who you are online.
I use that avatar because I think it's awesome. I also plan on showing may face in video reviews, but I will be wearing shades. Not because I don't want to show my face but because the shades go with my blog and I plan on embedding them there.
I know "the shades go with my blog" is an odd thing to say but trust me, they do.

So I use a stylized pic everywhere which to me is just as recognizable as a pic of myself.
