Please tell me you work from home.
Yes to all parts of the question. Was WAY more awkward when a friend sent me one unsolicited. We got past it.
38 and this is my viewpoint too.
I’m 45, and I’m a prude. No nekkie pix of me, anywhere, by anyone. Nyet. No Skyping in the nude, no video of sexy-times. No.
In person, I’m not all that prudish. I don’t get all weird if someone sees me unclothed. But there doesn’t need to be a permanent record (other than the mental trauma suffered by whomever saw my private bits.)
I’m 27 and the whole thing seems childish to me, it never appealed to me at all, but then again I’m the guy who never beat off to the photo of a celebrity, very rarely looked in a nude magazine, or anything like that. So I’m not the best example.
But it does nothing for me.
Yes, I have. I’ve sent and received nude pictures. I don’t go in for sexting. It just makes me feel goofy.
Took pictures of an ex…deleted after we broke up
Received pictures from the current…deleted soon after
Received from an internet friend…deleted soon after as well
So yes, but I delete them cuz I’m nice
Selfies, no. I am rubbish with a camera. I can’t even get good photos of my pets, much less random parts of my own body.
I do have portfolio pieces taken by professional photographers, for which I was paid, and which I have handed to other professionals who were considering hiring me for same. You can find them yourself, if you know where to look. I was in a gallery not too long ago.
I also recognize that I’m in the minority here, not particularly caring who sees me naked. I did have to sit down and think about it before the first time I posed nude, and decide I was really not interested in any career which could be derailed by the photos.
Just laying about? No, no… They are all safely on the cloud.
Selfies? no.
Nude pictures of me taken by somebody else? plenty.
Why would I need nude selfies? I know what I look like when I’m naked.
My wife and I may have taken some pictures of each other, but you need to turn two keys simultaneously, pass a retinal scan and have the missile codes from the president in order to see them.
I have a few (fairly tasteful). I think every woman should have some. When we are younger we tend to be so self-conscious and flaw-focused that only time can reveal the reality-- our own beauty. I hope I can always remember a time before age and babies and desk jobs, when I was young, active and free to explore.
No, I would rather not share them with my parents and my boss. Like my diary or my undies or the way I smell after skipping a bath, I don’t really consider it a public thing.
No, but I wish I did from back in the day when I was the closest I ever was to “hot.” Would I care if anyone ever saw them? Maybe if I was in politics or my (hypothetical) kids wanted to use them for our anniversary or something. Especially, I suppose, in a church setting.
My husband has one polaroid of me wearing one of his shirts. I looked extremely hot and still would not want anyone else to see it.
This whole situation has reminded me of that picture and I should figure out where he has it hidden so I can destroy it.
I have a few. But I’m well-aware that:
A) Nobody wants to see them
B) I’ve shared them on the web numerous times
So… YMMV.
Never really been a thing I’ve thought of. Not out of any caution nor out of any opposition to them, I’ve just never felt like it.
Looking back I, too, get to think maybe I should have documented that once upon a time in the mid 1980s I had an aesthetically pleasing body.
Judge, judge-judge-judge, judge-judge
FTR- you answered your own question:
I try not to have pictures of myself clothed, let alone nekkid.
Ugh, yeah. My “sister,” a friend I’ve had for years did that to me when she was tipsy one night. What made it more awkward was that she sent it to me while we were sitting together at a table at a nightclub. (No, the picture wasn’t taken right there, it was something she already had on her phone.) Made the rest of the night really weird. Now we just pretend it never happened.
Yes, and this was back in the film days when you’d have to take them out to get developed.
