Will agree with Ducky.

Dating is risky regardless of whether you meet the person on the web or in person.  Personally, I have had more friends married to people or dating people they met on the internet vs. in person.  

You have to decide if this (a man sending you images of this type) is something you enjoy or find appealing; only you can answer that.  I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but sounds like this guy is looking for some fun.  

Personally, I wouldn't find anything appealing about this, but that's me.

I actually met my husband via a dating site and have been married for almost 2 years so I feel like I should chime in.

It's very difficult to get intimate when you're on other sides of the country (or in my case the world US -Australian). However if your reaction is confusion or this makes you uncomfortable you need to tell him. Likely he's trying to get you into sexting and see if you're interested in taking your relationship to the next level (as I agree with someone above that it seems like he has a foot fetish). But if that's not where you see this going, then you need to tell him that.

I'm not going to lie, when my husband and I were dating it was very sexually frustrating so there was some dirty talking and webcam sessions. That being said, when we got to this point we were both comfortable with it. There are many people out there who are just socially awkward and don't know how to ask or push a relationship into a direction they would like to take it- HOWEVER there are also a lot of creeps out there. So yes, you do have to be careful.

Personally I think you need to open up and tell him what you're feeling. He needs to know (and change) if this made you feel awkward. Also it's a good idea to talk about where you see the relationship going. Geography is a hard thing to overcome but when it comes down to it I knew the moment I physically met my guy that I was going to marry him. Part of that is we had to decide whether or not it was worth it very early on to even pursue a relationship at all. But when it comes down to it, intuition can be a very powerful thing. So trust yourself- if this is doesn't bode well with you, leave him.

Hi,

I would move on quickly.  In my opinion, no man who has any respect for himself and for you would do something like that.  I guess it would be different if you had both been broaching the subject of exchanging pictures of that nature, but it doesn't sound like you were prepared for it by your post.  Good luck to you :)

What's wrong with his face that he sent you his feet and his junk instead?  I'm not sure I'd find that "interesting" - rather,  a ticket out.

Hm.  I don't know what got body part got stars------  but it must have been one I wouldn't want to get a picture of.  Ya know, I wouldn't be turned on by either a pic of a man's feet or a private part and it is up to you if you think it is a turn on or off.  

I'm going to tell you to be extra careful on a dating site.  I do know many many people do find mates this way but also hear a lot of horror stories.  If you meet that way but then go on to actually date, then it is legit.  If it is mostly online, I wouldn't put too much stock into it.

But I'd not love the random sending of these photos myself.  But that is just me.  

good luck!!
