If they have no value in causing embarrassment, what value would they have as blackmail material?
There's nothing embarrassing about being naked but I'm sure most people wouldn't want naked photos of themselves made public.
- exolymph 8y agoIt's one thing to know that someone has taken a dick pic, but another thing to actually see it.

- ralph84 8y agoMany more men than women have had their career as C-level executives ended by sexual indiscretions. That's of course because there are many more men than women in C-level executive positions, but your "if he was a woman" is a non sequitur.
- peteretep 8y agoI feel like there’s value in drawing a line between “sexual indiscretion” and harassment/assault. Using the expense account to take your mistress out, paying your strip bar bill with the company card, or banging your consenting coworker on your boss’s desk during the Xmas party is sexual indiscretion. Abusing a position of power to get sexual favours from a coworker is something quite different, and I don’t think anyone benefits from conflation of the two.
- peteretep 8y agoSure, I don’t want pictures of my dick poking out my trousers on general release. But as evidenced by the fact that these apparently _were not_ good blackmail material, I can think of considerably more embarrassing situation someone could find themselves in. The only salacious angle here — and the letter he got really tries to drive this home — was that he was conducting an affair.
