Is Taking Sexy Photos of Yourself Harmful or Problematic

Taking sexy photos of yourself is a personal choice and is generally not harmful. It can be an expression of confidence and empowerment. However, consider privacy risks and how you feel about sharing or storing these images. If you feel uncomfortable or pressured, it may be helpful to reflect on your motivations and comfort levels.

Lol a Libra who sees nothing wrong with being so grossly vain.

If you like that type of thing, fine. It's a problem when people who you don't want seeing those pics, see them. And if you like that type of thing, don't be the first one whining when someone else gets a hold of those pics somehow.

narcistic is the person. we call them vain. they do their natural thing. we find it unbeatiful.

OP, if you knew you are a robot programmed to be narcistic, what would you do the day after this discovery? do the same? chane yourself? deny it?

FRANKLY MY DEAR I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!

Why thank you Rhett Butler.

OP - do you think there is anything wrong with taking sexy photos? You know your cell phone carrier can see all the photos you take, right? (at least I think they can)

Just saying!

You like Ands?? I need to find a cute jacket that works with that neckline though- pesky.

And Bunny if I achieved classy in a skin tight lycra cream dress I count that as a win 😄

There's nothing wrong with admiring your body & being comfortable in your own skin. The question is why do you need to take a picture of yourself...something you can already see and admire in the mirror?

I mean what is there to do with the picture, other than send it (which can lead to a host of other problems, especially if it ends up in the hands of strangers who admire your goods too)? eeeeh do you look at the pics every day? Do they symbolize some kind of shrine of yourself? Are you that into yourself that you need to snap pictures to prove to yourself that you're good looking or worth a look? I mean do you delete the pic right after, or...?

I seriously don't understand the psychology behind taking nude or erotic photos of yourself that you never intend on showing someone else.

Besides, nowadays your phone doesn't even have to be lost or stolen in order for some creep to see/steal your pics & distribute them or use them against you. People have lost jobs, partners and reputations over that.

If you wanna see yourself naked, look in the mirror. Otherwise, you take the not so worth it chance of giving strangers the opportunity to see you naked too. And if that's not something you know good and damn well you couldn't handle, don't do the 1 thing that is almost certain to end up in the wrong hands if you get careless with the device that the pics are in.

Nothings wrong with a sexy picture I guess, but that's only one step from a nude pic.

Some of you may wonder how so many self shot pics end up on the Internet. Some are probably sibling revenge, other SO revenge. In fact most are hacked right from your phone. Your phone company can see everything on your phone, giving them the chance to do what they want with your pictures. The government can see everything on your phone, also giving them the chance to do whatever they want, along with 3rd party hackers.

Anything you say, or every picture you virtually own is being seen by God knows who.

Some women committed suicide over all of it. They couldn't live with the fact thousands of perverts and potentially rapists are seeing every private thing they documented through the Internet.

All in all it adds more corruption to the world, so is it wrong to take a sexy picture? Probably so. Will this open the eyes of women and men and make them change for the better? Probably not, but there's always a chance.

Be honest. If you saw an album of his d***ck, ripped body & smiling face, would the 1st thing your mind resorts to be that he's just taking them for himself? Or would your imagination & street smarts immediately assume that he's taking such pics for someone else?

There are certain situations when it is absolutely fair for your partner to question your loyalty or not be ok with what you're doing. And I'll tell you what, if I ever saw random pics of my husband in his underwear, we'd have a problem. And I'd dare that mf to tell me that I'm being insecure or that I have no right to even slightly consider that to be a huge NO/NO.

Some things just cause unnecessary insecurity, distrust & fear...fear that the pics may be leaked (what seems like harmless pics to you may be financial gold to someone else)...and distrust for your partner b/c your story about taking them stricly for yourself sounds too unbelievable.

The simple way to get around even having such a tense discussion with your partner would be to just look in the mirror & trust what your eyes are seeing lol If the mirror shows that you're ripped, or 2 inches smaller or lookin good, trust that! Your own eyes are much more honest & valuable than a camera lens.
