On
social networking sites, oftentimes individuals – especially college-aged Americans – post a certain type of profile picture that makes them completely unappealing to the
opposite sex, so there is virtually no danger of impregnating another or becoming
impregnated. Usually such photos involve individuals making strange faces, posturing themselves oddly, or exhibiting behaviors that compromise their individual dignity. Unlike compromising photos which are posted by third-parties who may have taken the photo and “tagged” the individual in an awkward situation or pose, the Birth Control Photo (BCP) is a photo that is self-posted by the individual in the picture.
