Hey all, I used to be a heavy capper, used to do it all the time for about 4 years until last year I stopped, but recently I’ve had the urge to start capping again, but every time I do I feel a bit of regret, or just a general sense that what I’m doing isn’t right, don’t get me wrong, I want to cap, I know there’s a part of me that wants to do it, but there’s another part of me that doesn’t think it’s right, not because I’m scared of getting caught or anything, but because it morally doesn’t feel right, but the rush of getting a good cap on a nice fat ass feels too good to pass up, what do you think I should do?
Have a go and follow your heart you will know if you still have it in you 100% peace out
It sounds like you are saying you are craving a dopamine rush, but not the unethical act of capping. You have cravings to cap, but only to obtain that desired rush. Have you tried any other hobbies that can provide you with a similar rush?
If you want to do it - then do it.
But don’t risk anything. If it dont feel right, be cool and walk away.
I respect it man, maybe just stick to viewing and not actually doing the act?
I would say try it again but take it one cap.at a time. If it doesn’t feel right, you can stop then.
I understand the ethical dilemma behind it. I still snap shots occasionally but basically keep for myself unless I can otherwise remove their identity completely. Ai can also create candids that are idealized and recreate something you see in real life but chose not to capture. It’s not the same but sometimes it scratches that itch in its own way.
I honestly feel the same way and the only reason it took me so long to make an account and regularly log in, which hasn’t even been a week yet, is because it felt wrong to me. If you have enough will power to not do it I would definitely say don’t. It’ll be safer that way too because you’ll never be caught if you’re not doing it
It seems like more what you’re interested in is the rush or the feeling you get from taking the pictures, as opposed to the actual subject itself. If that’s the case, you should seek things to do that can also give you that same feeling. If you’re feeling wrong about what you’re doing, there’s no need to keep doing it.
I actually sometimes use AI for this. You can tell the AI what you want, so you don’t have to worry about just going out and hoping you see something good. And in the end, it doesn’t are there anybody.
anyone have examples of AI versions?
@ActualCandle if you’re feeling that way then you’re doing better than most of us who want to stop capping. My advice would be to stay away and focus on other stuff that’s more fulfilling
Can take the dog out of the fight but never the fight out of the dog
Capping is a way of life man. Everywhere I go, my phone is on and capping, like it’s second nature. So no feelings involved, just art. If that’s not for you or if you get too nervous, then either keep going until it’s second nature or stop. Been doing this for about 16 years now and it probably took half of that time for it to become second nature.
I really don’t see how its unethical to cap tbh… its in public, they chose to wear the things they do… if anything I guess the only “unethical” aspect is sharing it around.
even sharing it around doesn’t seem unethical, because like you said they choose to present themselves that way in public. i would say some of the captions or things people say to describe women would be the most unethical in my opinion
Yeah, we’re all just providing historical visual context to popular attire in the world’s current culture. ![]()
Honestly, you have to stay away from this forum if you don’t want to cap. I’d probably cap a lot less if there wasn’t somewhere to share.
The temptation is too strong when you see so many different people doing it on a regular basis.
It’s one thing if there were only a few cappers really doing good work. But when every regular Joe has the possibility of doing great caps, you’ll just be like “why not me?”.
