NSFW - Do you ever take pictures of yourself?

Asked by Aspire (398points) September 15th, 2011

This afternoon, I took a few pictures of myself in sexy poses, wearing different outfits, and my birthday suit, and I sent the best ones to my boyfriend.

I don’t know why I did it, but i did quite enjoy it.

Have you ever done this, by yourself?

Is your name Scarlett Johansson? Because your phone has been hacked.

Ayesha's avatar

No.
Well not yet anyway.

Please [lease tell me you are kidding… please….
I could never understand why anyone would take the risk. Do you think he will not show them to his frieds as bragging rights?
If you want to see me ‘nekked’ come on over, but leave your camera home.

Aspire's avatar

I’m not kidding. Just trying to keep the fire burning.

Yikes! No way. Who knows where those will wind up!

When I was 19, my daughters father showed me pictures he had taken of his first wife. He wanted to take pictures of me too and I said, HECK NO!! If we ever break up, you will show the next girl, and probably as many guys that want to see too.
I have considered having a photography session done. They would be subtle and artful and probably wouldn’t reveal my identity (face.)
I have worked hard to get my body in this condition and right now, at 50, I am more comfortable in my skin than I have ever been.

Nah, cameras steal your soul… I just really hate being in pics so I don’t take pics of myself or do my best to make myself as obscure/weird as possible so either you can’t tell it’s me or the pic is just something you don’t wanna post.

Aspire's avatar

@syz my boyfriend is 45 not 18.

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

No. I never think a woman wants to see that.

I really love it when women send those to me.

LuckyGuy's avatar

@Aspire And what will you do after photo get boring? Videos? And after that?
You have no control over where the photos are going to end up. That’s the problem. If you two split you both might not be the best of friends. You don’t want to ruin your future reputation or credibility because of something you did when you were young.
You are treading on dangerous ground.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Aspire I can think of a thousand other ways to keep the fire burning. Pics are not on my list.

What about surprise sex? Sexy picnic? Being naked when he comes home from work?

Aspire's avatar

@Judi sweet answer

tedd's avatar

I have had multiple g/f’s give me photos, and as per instructions or my own plans, I’ve gotten rid of them post relationship.

There’s nothing wrong with doing it, and it can definitely add some spice to a relationship. You just have to be absolutely bat-shit certain you can trust the person receiving them.

I took a picture of myself wearing this before. Let’s just say I set my camera on fire afterwards.

Aspire's avatar

@tedd Yea, I definitely do trust him in that respect. If I was young and so was he, then I wouldn’t. I know he wouldn’t want anyone else to see me, and he’ll delete it off his phone anyway in case he loses it. It’s just something for him to think about for when he gets home.

Jude's avatar

Yes, I have and, yes, she has them

LuckyGuy's avatar

OK. How about a compromise… Don’t send anything you wouldn’t want your kids (if you have them) or their friends to see.

Google Goggles will eventually come back in one form or another. It may take another year but, you know it will. Then it will be all too easy for someone to find you. Why risk it?

rebbel's avatar

Five minutes ago I took two of my freshly barbered beard., and sent them to my girlfriend.
No nudity pics though, you never know where they end up.

Aspire's avatar

@worriedguy We don’t have kids. We don’t actually socialise either, so it’s all good.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@worriedguy I agree. In my faith we say “Never take pictures of anything you wouldn’t want your priest to see”

LuckyGuy's avatar

@Aspire You might not have kids now but you might.
Or you might be looking for a job.
Or getting married to someone else.
Or running for public office.
Or…

It’s the internet. That stuff does not go away. Let’s hope the guy is trustworthy.
Next time make it a glamour shot. One where you look really good but would not be ashamed of.if the world cold see it. Look at Judi’s avatar. Perfect.

Trust me. Guys have good enough imaginations. They don’t actually need to see the bits to get their heart rates up.

Aspire's avatar

@worriedguy I sent it to his phone, he’s 45 not a teenager. He deletes them when he gets home anyway, in case he loses his phone.

marinelife's avatar

No. As for sending nude photos to a boyfriend, I would never do that. You have no way of knowing what he will do with them or where they will get published.

It could cost you jobs or worse in the future.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Aspire And as a worrier…My mind now races to the “What if” scenarios.
-What if someone has an emergency and has to borrow his phone & hits the wrong button?
-What if he gets in an accident (goodness forbid) and an officer has to search for contacts and sees the pics?
-What if he forgets and puts the phone down and it’s left on that photo?

My head would be spinning on What ifs.

Judi's avatar

@worriedguy, I think you meant @Jude ‘s avatar, but I’ll take the compliment anyway. :-).

Your_Majesty's avatar

Yes, and do you think that men will click on your profile if you didn’t put alluring pictures and seductive words in dating sites?

Aspire's avatar

@SpatzieLover He will be home in 30 minutes.

Seaofclouds's avatar

I have taken pictures for my husband. I enjoyed the “photo shoot”. We discussed things before hand and only the two of us have the information to access them. I have no reason not to trust him, so I’m not worried about anything happening with them.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Aspire ;) I see. Then you should prolly get out of Fluther & get ready

Aspire's avatar

@Seaofclouds Amazing answer, thank you very much. Wish I could plus you more.
@SpatzieLover I’m already ready! ;-)

Facade's avatar

Sure (when I’m feeling sexy). Photos are nice; videos are better. My SO prefers videos of me.

Aspire's avatar

@Facade Sorry to pry, did you make videos alone or together or both?

erichw1504's avatar

@rebbel Just seen them on pop up on the internet! Twitter is going crazy over your fresh manly beard.

beccagolling's avatar

I have taken pictures and I still do for him.

TexasDude's avatar

Yep. Taken them for other people (who I trust)
and received them from people who trust me. It’s normal the

DominicX's avatar

I have done that before, yes. I have pictures of him too, that way the potential “blackmail” factor is evened out. :)

ucme's avatar

The wife has been known to snap away when i’m in the buff. They’re stealth shots though, like when i’m stepping out the shower or getting undressed for bed. She should make a second career out of it she’s that bloody sneaky with a camera. I don’t mind though, we have a laugh at the pics, mainly at the look of shock on my face, not the jiggly bits.

Jude's avatar

We both of photos of each other.

nikipedia's avatar

Jeez, I can’t imagine dating someone who I couldn’t trust with sexy pictures. What kind of relationship is that?

wundayatta's avatar

I’m a porn actor. My junk has splashed across millions of computer screens (to coin a phrase).

But I never take pictures of my self. My girlfriend isn’t interested. We prefer to go to church and pray for my soul. Then, we [redacted].

Jude's avatar

The photos are tasteful. No spread eagle.

FutureMemory's avatar

I have taken photos for other people, but my face isn’t in them, so ultimately it doesn’t matter much :)

I have received sexy photos from various women, ranging from PG level to Triple X. I have never shown them to anyone, and never will. They were for me only.

Jude's avatar

@Scooby With that little emoticon dude at the end, it looks as though he’s had a stroke. ;)

Scooby's avatar

@Jude you should see my photo’s lol-....... ;-)

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Yes, I’ve taken pics of myself for other people but if my face was the pic, there was no nudity and if there was partial nudity then there was no face. I’m not worried too much, they are what they are and I took the chance the people I gifted them to might do surly things one day. So far, several years later, there is no blackmail, no public snickerings, whatever. My fiancee knows he’s not the first man to see pics of me but it goes both ways- I know about his shenanigans too.

Jude's avatar

No faces were in our pics.

CWOTUS's avatar

I haven’t (I haven’t got the body for it any more in any case – assuming that I ever did). But since everyone seems to appear naked on the Internet anyway nowadays, I don’t see why not. Enjoy it while you have it!

Hibernate's avatar

Nope. But I did take pictures of others [with they accord of course].

LuckyGuy's avatar

@Judi No, I meant your picture. The one with him holding you from behind and your smiling face beaming. That is a picture I would be proud to have on my phone and on my desk. It would make me want to run home whenever I had the chance. It’s classy, sexy, and nice all rolled into one image.

Judi's avatar

@worriedguy , Awwww blushing.

poisonedantidote's avatar

I have never done so, but I like the sound of the idea.

Who cares where the pictures go or who sees them, you did not want to be president anyway did you?

creative1's avatar

Yes it was for someone I was talking to online and thought we would one day meet but didn’t and I have to admit that taking them was rather fun especially the ones in the sexy outfits I knew he would like.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

Yes.I also have nude drawings too XD

mrrich724's avatar

Did someone already say “pics or it didn’t happen” ?

filmfann's avatar

Me??? No.
But thank you, Scarlett Johansson. I loved the mirror shot!

martianspringtime's avatar

I don’t, but I think people blow the ‘what-ifs’ of it way out of proportion. The worst-case scenario is that someone takes especially malevolent action against you for whatever reason, becoming ‘that crazy ex’ and tries to get you to lose your job or keeps you from becoming a politician or whatever high-profile career you’re aiming for.

But ‘what if they show it to their friends’ concerns? I’d be more concerned about my S/O having no respect for my privacy than their stupid friends seeing my boobs.

creative1's avatar

The great way wot avoid that @martianspringtime is by making sure your head is not in any shot unless its not dirty just sexy.

FutureMemory's avatar

@filmfann Her derrier did look especially yummy, didn’t it?
