It's working now, see post #5. If you run across something similar, please feel free to add your particular man-candy photos. Or woman-candy, didn't mean to exclude anyone. Sometimes a visual can really jump start a stubborn idea...

Inspiration for your next novel, people?

Someone who is more educated about computer files could probably tell me how to get the pictures off of the email I received and post a link. Any help would be appreciated...
Description: 20's, nicely toned, shirtless or with shirt open, a little beard stubble and the most gorgeous eyes. Piercing blue/green I would call them. Just lustful. (That's all folks.)

I don't know how much you know about this stuff, so sorry if any of this is condescending; equally, sorry if it's not detailed enough!
Find an image host (e.g. imageshack or photobucket) and sign up. Right-click on the picture in your email and choose "save image as" to save it to your My Pictures fodler (or Mac equivalent? I don't know Macs!). The image host should give you something like "upload images" or "browse for images" which allows you to search your own files and select the cpiture. It'll do it's thing, and give you a link to the picture to copy (if you're lucky it'll even give you a forum friendly one!) and voila! One sexy man for us all to enjoy

Thank you. Not condescending at all, I truly did not know how to get this to work. I have an album with a sexy man in it now. How nice.

The first question may not be how to do it. It MAY BE should this be done. You may have to check the terms and guidelines about posting images (other than avatars & other related images like your book cover) on this forum.
Secondly if you are to embed images, use thumbnails. For example, on your photobucket page, the hot dude's facial pic measures 755x399 pixels and is 184 kb in size. Loading many images that size is going to eat up quite some bandwidths of this site. The thumbnail on that page measures 160x85 pixels and is 13kb in size. Inquiring souls muttering 'OMG he's hot' may click on the thumb-pics to check them out. I guess the code is something like (URL="pic_site/pic_name")(IMG)http://pic_site/thumb_name(/IMG)(/URL) -- replace parenthesis with square-brackets. But please check the terms first.
Oh, and make sure you're not posting any pics with potential copyright/legal issues (such as those with a Getty watermark, or any pics that may be classified nudity/suggestive of a guy/girl who looks old enough but maybe underage.)

Thanks, don't want to get into trouble. Just hated to keep it to myself.
Have had lots of people post a link for a little joke to make our day and thought I was being friendly, useful, interesting, sharing, etc. If it's wrong, I'll take it down. But all that pixel, loading images, code is way over my head. Think I'll stick to writing and posting a few things to keep some people's blood pressure nice and high (political stuff, it's entertaining).
Well, that's kind of sad really. I post stuff to keep people stirred up. Maybe I need a life.

I wouldn't be running across him, I'd be... Never mind, I'm going to try and not be naughty tonight.

Sorry if I sounded offensive. Never meant that.
In another forum--a sports related one--that I frequent, this is often a problem. I remember the administrator was asked by Getty or whoever to make sure copyrighted pictures wouldn't be posted. I thought it might be helpful to share the info.

Gordon, I didn't take it that way (offensive). I freely admit I don't know what I'm doing so I appreciate the warning.
I sometimes get enthusiastic and want to share, but as far as I can tell the picture isn't copywrited.
I didn't think that if you were going to an album in photobucket that it would use up a lot of bandwidth here, either I don't understand or I read that wrong.
I don't know what he is. Male model, actor, sex on a stick. Who knows.

I got it in an email. It had the pictures posted, one at a time with the following dialogue:
Look closely and see if you can figure out who this is. (picture)
Have a look! (picture)
Still not sure? (picture)
Have another look. (picture)
Again, look closer... (picture)
Still don't know? (picture, my fav the close-up)
Neither do I, but who gives a sh*t? Have a great day!

But it's a great friend who'll share a good looking bloke like that with you.
I don't think I have any friends that would shrivel up over the sexy bits; they all know I'm a naughty woman and so put up with it or are just as A few ex friends tossed me off their FaceBook friendslists because they didn't want their other friends seeing the kinds of things I said. Shrugs. It's their loss. If I'm not good enough for FaceBook, then I'm not good enough for anything else in their life as far as I'm concerned.
Hey, he is in my scrapbook of pictures I use for reference when I paint and draw people. And what a model he is! Gosh, I'm suddenly inspired to sculpt.
Me too. And yeah, nice faces. Must be an artist thing. The first thing I notice about a man is his facial proportions.
