I get it. We're in this new era of technology. Everyone is using their cellphones (especially those quirky little cameras on them), Ipods, Ipads, high-tech computers. BUT, I agree with alot of people that this stuff is potentially ruining relationships all across the globe man!

If you're committed to someone, you have NO business sending the opposite sex pictures of your body parts, whether it's your chest, legs, butt, boobs, muscles, or even in some cases, your vajayjay or slinger! It's completely UNACCEPTABLE & is deceptive to your partner & relationship.

You should only be communicating with the people you know already, so why send pics to them? They already know what you look like, remember?

Let's just be honest guys. It's 1 thing to send a Happy Holidays picture of just your face with you smiling. That's 1 thing. But to send pics of intimate body parts that ONLY your partner should have access to is just plain wrong.

And let's not even get on the moral of who some of you guys are actually sending those kinds of pictures to! There's NO reason you should be sending those kinds of pics to your ex, your last FWB, etc. Guys & gals, stop playing your partners for fools when you tell them, "Hey, they wanted to know how I look now!" BULL.

To make matters worse, those of you who disagree would probably shxt cows if your partner was caught dead sending such pics to other people!

A person who feels the need to expose themselves to the community at large is arrogant in believing that doing such is necessary or for a greater good. (b/c let's just be honest---most of you who do this don't send those kinds of pics to just 1 person)

If whatever you're doing BEHIND closed doors is NOT enhancing your relationship (notice I didn't say your ego) in any way, that's an indication that you should NOT be doing it. Furthermore, if what you're doing BEHIND closed doors are things you wouldn't dare be caught doing if your partner were sitting next to you & watching, that's a major indication that what you're doing is wrong.

Get it together people!

A friend of mine is a personal trainer at a gym. He's in a relationship with my friend & boy let me tell you, he's been caught MANY times sending pics of his body to other women as well as them sending him pics of themselves.

His excuses?
1."I can't control what others send me." BULL! Somewhere along the tracks you're giving single women the impression that you're NOT so taken or else they wouldn't be approaching you as if you were single!

2. "She sent me a pic of her stomach & boobs b/c she wanted me to see the progress she's been making in the gym." BULL! You train her, remember? Shouldn't you be able to see all of that "progress" in person. Don't bring your job home if it involves canoodling with the opposite sex! I'm just saying!

He asked me how I felt about his girlfriend's accusations that he's probably cheating and is participating in unnacceptable conduct. I told him straight up, "Look dude, if you need your ego stroked from other women, that's fine, BUT don't do it at your partner's expense.

Grow up, man up/woman & STOP doing the things that you can ONLY do BEHIND closed doors. The mere fact that you've gotta do them behind closed speaks volume & rests my case. Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

It makes it even worse when they're caught sending those kinds of pics to "friends." Then it'll only make you question if those "friends" were really even platonic friendships to begin with.

I'm telling ya, 1 of the easiest ways to recognize a FWB, ex or possible threat in DISGUISE is to watch & see who they end up sending their pictures too! (Hopefully, it'll never happen)

Exactly! Had that threat in disguise with an aqua friend and when I called him on it, he started lying, being deceitful, and ran away. I wouldn't play so he'll find someone else 🙂

why would you feel the need to send them even if you weren't in a relationship? let the mind rule not the body until the time is right. Besides, then you turn around and wonder why you felt used. It's your own fault!



Good point! I think doing so is a call for attention & need for an ego boost. Sending others pics of yourself constantly is done somewhat out of arrogance.

People love to say, "Oh it's just innocent pic taking." BULL. If that were the case, 1. Why are you trying to hide the fact that you're doing it? Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. When a person feels that what they're doing is RIGHT, they will have shame in their game to admit/announce it to others, even if others disagree!

I think there are way too many dangers and/or things that can be taken the "wrong" way by sending pics. The pics can end up in the wrong hands. It can strain a relationship in the trust area. And technically there's no real valid reason for sending such pics. Before camera phones, people were just fine allowing their friends to WAIT to see them in person if it's really about just wanting someone to "see you."

To an extent, I don't even all the way agree with sending such pics to your partner unless you're married to them. Even then, the pics can still end up in the wrong hands persay his/her phone gets stolen/misplaced or whatever! Something intended to be innocent fun can turn into a world of trouble!

Plus alot of the guys I know have told me that they can tell how fast a female is by how quick or not she is to send them nude or semi-nude/unnecessary pictures.

Even people who are just dating and/or not yet in relationships, sending pics of yourself can easily be taken the wrong way. Some people might assume the other person is just fishing for compliments, or that they are hinting at wanting to start a sexual conversation!

1 guy I used to date asked me to send him a picture of myself. I said, NO! You know what I look like! And if you forgot, let's go on a date OR go look me up on facebook (got plenty of pictures there!) He pretended to respect my answer, all up until he randomly sent 2 pics of his face followed by 1 pic of his slinger! I was instantly offended! That last picture (cough: his slinger!) told me all I needed to know about his intentions! I thought to myself, surely if I even did want to sleep with you, I wouldn't make that point known through a picture message dumb azs! I'd tell you personally or show you better than I could tell you in person! UGH!

If we want to get technical, no one owns your body, but you so if these people want to display their body to other people then that's that their choice. Their partner isn't entitled to say no. While I do think it's tacky, I don't think it's inherently cheating. People are naked in different mediums like acting, modeling, etc. People are semi-naked on the beach all the time. And we don't call that cheating. I don't see how sending pics is any different. Yet I can understand why someone would be angry with this because the intention is probably to get the other person off.

*Or the intention is to eventually cheat or already have been.



Well, unfortunately, that usually IS the case. Going to the beach & wearing a bikini IS different just like being semi-naked b/c it's your job IS different too. If someone is deliberately sending inappropriate pics of themselves (and the whole point usually is to send body parts that the average person CAN'T see if they walk past you on the street), they might not have cheated YET, but that kind of deceptive & attention/ego-boosting behavior IS usually how it all starts.

It's not like cheating starts with 2 people showing up at eachother's houses. It starts with the little things like secretely having inappropriate conversations, sending inappropriate pictures...basically doing/sending/saying all the things you would NOT say had your partner been sitting/standing there. And let's just be honest, if a person in a relationship is sending pics to the opposite sex, why is that really necessary? Why is it absolutely necessary for all the girls/guys in your address book to see your tits or your abs tonight? Is it really going to kill you if your so called "friends" are ok with just seeing you WITH clothes on? Come on now

Egads I wouldn't even send pictures like that TO my partner. I wouldn't even TAKE them. Why ruin the suspense? And.. how disrespectful of yourself.



I agree. More than anything, I thik sending pics is done moreso out of arrogance than it is disrespect. It's like seriously, what makes YOU so wonderful that you feel that the world is in demand of seeing you w/o clothes on?!! Why is it absolutely necessary for me to see your abs or tits in a text message, especially considering you'd know how disrespectful it'd be if you were to show me those things in person?! Why isn't seeing you with your clothes on & with your best smile forward, good enough?! I mean seriously, if you love your body that much, go be a nude model or porn star!

Here's how I see it. If you and your girl are walking around the store and a female friend walks up you are not going to greet each other by whipping out your noodle and doing the helicopter twirl (hopefully not anyway). So why do you think it's okay to do the E-quivilant and text those kind of images?

You live far away and a friend lost a lot of weight and sends you a picture (non-nude) to see their progress, fine.

You see the person regularly and they send you a tit-pic for no reason... I'd expect to get in trouble for that.

@LibraSid: Exactly. Things we wouldn't randomly pull out or show others in public or in person should be the very SAME things we would NOT pull out or show others behind closed doors.

The mere fact that someone would wait to do something behind closed doors & in something as private as a text message tells it all. We send things in texts b/c it's private, so even the person sending the nude/semi-nude pics isn't dumb b/c even they know that showing the same thing in public wouldn't be appropriate.

People aren't as dumb as they pretend to be. They know what the deal is, that's why they wait to have certain conversations through text when they think no one is looking.

For real, ANYTHING you say/do to/for someone that you couldn't/wouldn't say or do if your partner was standing there is probably wrong. Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. And if someone really felt that what they were doing wasn't wrong, they wouldn't see the need in erasing or concealing it. The min. a person hides something, that means they've already consciously acknowledged that it was wrong. So to act like a deer in headlights when you're finally caught is all an act.

Anytime a guy whose NOT my man asks me if it's ok if we exchange pics, I already know where the convo is heading. I always say, "What do you need my picture for? You know what I look like!"

Once again, we're on the same page you just express it better. I had a friend ask me a while back if I let my wife go through my cell phone and email accounts. I replied, "she has access to it all if she wants to look, I don't know if she does... I don't care". She was shocked because her husband kept his phone on him at all times and it was always locked. She seemed more surprised that I didn't even know (or care) if my ex was going through anything. My response was "If there's nothing to hide there's no need to hide it".

Quoted for hilarity. Sending pictures to spice something up, oh yeh. Just to randomly do it? Nope. Send them while in relationship? Yes, to a partner. Not "Hey Mike, how's things going? Here's my boobs, have a GREAT DAY."

It's their own fault for not being loyal to their partner, and I don't make them. Would I send pictures of myself if I was in a relationship, though? Never..



Well that's the PROBLEM. Alot of the people who engage in sending those kind of pics DON'T think they're doing anything wrong. In their minds, they justify doing it b/c hey, technically they haven't physically made contact with anyone. And in some cases, they aren't emotionally attached to the person they're receiving/sending pics to/from either. And to some poeple, as long as they haven't physically touched or emotionally fallen for someone, they don't consider anything else outside of that cheating. And that's wrong.

There are 1 million OTHER ways to hurt/betray someone other than just having sex with them. If kissing someone else will devestate your partner, it's cheating. And if you don't think kissing (for example) is cheating, run that by your partner in the BEGINNING so that they can decide up front if they want to be with someone whose judgement is different than theirs.

Sending pics period are unnecessary. Sure, they might be innocent & may not even contain any naked/semi-nude images, BUT it's all about intention. What is the REAL reason you want that other woman/man to see your abs/chest/tits, legs? There really is no real valid reason for sending someone ANY kind of pic of your body.

It bothers me that people justify doing so almost so much that they act as if it'd kill them to keep their pictures to themselves.

Any time I'm dating/in a relationship with a man & I notice that he's got nude pics of himself in his phone, that sends off a RED FLAG to me, especially IF I never receive any of those pics. After all, why would a guy want to keep looking at pics of his OWN slinger?! If he's not sending it to me, then why is he saving those kinds of pictures? Even worse, if those pics aren't coming to me, then who are they meant for?! It's 1 thing to keep a pic of your neices or family or buddies you just saw out last night; that's 1 thing. But to randomly take a pic of your slinger & yet have no intention of sending that to your partner? I smell trouble!

I'd be worried if he had pictures of someone else's gear on his phone...

Forget dogs, a man's best friend is his penis. You keep pictures of your friends don't you?

My sentiments too. If you're sending nude pics to your SO and everyone is comfortable, that's great. I personally have no qualms about that and I don't find it disgusting, bothersome, ect. It's between two people; it's their business. But, if pictures are being sent/received outside of the relationship, then yeah, trouble in paradise.

im a venus in capricorn, please do not send me any nude pics of anykind. i will only look at you with disgust. BUT, i can send you nude pics of myself.

Yes, a double standard...live with it



Lol, my venus is in leo, so I also have little problem sending nude photos if he asks and I'm comfortable doing it at the time, but if he's sending them to me, I have to admit, I'm a little picky on what I like seeing lol.

I have Venus in Leo and would never send any nude pictures to ANYONE. I don't trust anyone not to show them to others. What if you have a bad breakup? You never know how spiteful people can be. I knew a girl who took naked pictures of herself for her boyfriend, and then when they broke up, he sent them to her DAD.

That right there is slut shaming, and I have a huge issue with that. I understand that once you put your body out there that anyone can use it against you. And you know... it's not a big deal to me now. I'm of legal age; the only reason I would be upset for this is if the pictures got out and hurt job opportunities or something of the like. If someone chose to do that to me, then for sure, I'm going to take different measures.

It's only like in high school I feel where the ridicule of slut shaming was more detrimental. I mean, I haven't shared pictures with a guy in ages, and if I did, I was fully clothed. So yes, the risk is always there, but I'm not going to allow it to make me fear what I do with my body. I only share pictures with guys I truly trust and if he's spiteful enough to go against me like that, then we're going to have more problems down the line.

When it comes to nude photos, NEVER TRUST ANYONE. Seriously. I'm not being dramatic.

I've known girls who missed out on job opportunities because of their myspace photos showing them partying and slutting it up for the cameras. I'm not saying it's right to judge them by that, but it's reality. I guess I'm just a more cautious person than most girls. Once you (or anyone) posts a provocative or naked picture of yours on the Internet, it's there forever, because someone in the world is bound to save it. Then they can do whatever the hell they want with it. Do you like the idea of some stranger jacking off to your picture? I certainly don't.



The myspace/facebook thing surely is an issue,but one has to be smart enough to know to not put provocative stuff on their social networking site. Even if you keep your profile extremely private. And I know that you're not being overly dramatic. As I stated, I haven't sent photos to anyone in proper ages, and if I did, I was always fully clothed. It was just my point that I was never really bothered sending slightly provocative photos of myself to someone I cared about as long as we agreed upon some things; and while yes, you can't really trust anyone, you really can't trust anyone with any information or personal things of some sort since it can all be used against you. It's just in light of the topic, no one should be sending nude photos to someone they AREN'T with or they know is acquainted with someone else. And if someone does send a nude photo to his or her significant other, that is between them and is not an issue as long as they are legal, consenting people.

Here's my thing. It's apparent that people aren't spooked enough of the whole thought of someone exposing their nude pictures after a breakup or whenever. Sure, someone can easily show others your pictures out of spite or b/c they're disrespectful and/or looking for brownie points for their buddies. Sure those pictures can end up in the wrong hand, BUT I don't even think the discussion should get that far. The mere fact that sending the pictures to begin with is UNNECESSARY is all that matters.

There's NO real or necessary reason to show anyone other than your partner, your body. There's NO reason for it. And hey, if it's killing you just THAT bad that you feel it's that necessary for someone whose "just a friend" to send a picture, then you need to be single and/or go be with that "friend" since their opinion means THAT much to you. It's simple. If it's THAT damn hard for you to keep your clothes on, then relationships aren't for you.

Lol! I type like I talk! When I capitalize something, it's b/c in my mind I'm adding that extra UMPH to that word! lol lol

I swear, some things are just common sense. But people try to trivialize things. Some things are plain out black & white; there's NO grey area with some things! Sometimes some things are just plain out dead wrong, no matter how you explain it justify it or try to make excuses for it! And sending nude pics is just as worse as you fondling your ex girlfriend's boobs at a picnick!

Not only is the physical/emotional act of cheating wrong, BUT SO IS anything that encourages/influences you to cheat! If you constantly put yourself in situations that will most likely result in you disrespecting your partner, then you've already messed up!

Where I come from, if my man sends his slinger to a woman in a text message, he was better off screwing her! All pain is the same. Disrespect is disrespect. Sure, I have my "preferences" of things that I'd only HOPE my man wouldn't do & sure there are some things that are worse than others, but hey let's just be serious...if you "almost cheat" you were better off going right ahead & finishing the act.

Same thing goes for kissing. To me, kissing is cheating, so if you had the balls & lack of respect for me to kiss another woman, you were better off going all the way with her! You're NOT doing me any favors by "just kissing" her, no different than it never makes anyone feel better when they're told, "Oh honey, it just happened" or "1 thing led to the next."
