Nope! Promised a girl I would one time, but I wussed out. I used to have some of said girl, and also an ex of mine, but I deleted them cuz I’m a good person… …a stupid, stupid good person ---

Posed as a model for a couple of friends. The first was in the Polaroid era, and I doubt she has them still. The second was in the digital camera era, and it turned out that her request was the beginnings of her pursuit of me as a partner… So those might still be around. A fling a few years back loved sending me explicit pics, and she asked for some in return. I told her that I felt weird photographing myself, but suggested that she could take some for herself when we next hooked up. And we definitely had our phones out at points, so maybe some are still with her. A similar situation is going on right now, but I haven’t yet suggested to this fling that she could take some… Yet. Depends probably on how much more she asks. ---

No. Digital pictures have existed, but only I ever possessed them, and they’ve been destroyed. ---

Yep, lots of them, and also: oil paintings, woodcuts, pastels, and charcoals. Hey, I went to art school, and my wife’s an artist. I’m a cheap model. ---

I forgot about that. I still make the occasional buck posing for art schools and established artists. I guess this just doesn’t seem like some big deal to me. ---

Some were taken at various times but well before digital images so I’m sure none of them exist as more than memories now. ---

Yep, assuming my ex kept them. He’s married tho so they may have gone away. He’s a Doper too! (with a super low post count. You don’t know him) So not only do naked pics of me exist, but another Doper has them! 😃 For some reason the whole idea of naked and/or sexy pics of me existing doesn’t bother me. Probably because seeing them would be worse for you than it would be for me. ---

nope. I don’t like seeing it, so I assume nobody else likes seeing it. ---

> [@Infovore](#): > > Nope. Never has (other than baby pictures), never will. Not even baby pics. When my mother passed away, I got in quick and pillaged the family photo album. I seized and sequestered all the cute little nakie boy in the bathtub pics and, with a feeling of immense gratification, destroyed them. (Yes, technically, I do hold this as a crime against history, and I do, in fact, believe that works of art belong to the human species as a common heritage. But this isn’t like slashing the Mona Lisa or going at the Pieta with a hammer!) ---

Naked, as in no clothes or covering of any kind? Um…does bodypaint count? If not, then not only does a naked photo of me exist, but it’s online and helped to win a Guinness World Record (since beaten), but if you can pick out my blue blob from the dozens of other blue, red, yellow and green blobs, you have better eyes than I do. I’m not even sure which one is me. One of the blue ones. (PS: the SPF of blue is Not Enough.) If your boss thinks this is NSFW, you should find a new job. [spoiler][http://www.witchvox.com/festivals/afest/sir061.jpg[/spoiler]](http://www.witchvox.com/festivals/afest/sir061.jpg%5B/spoiler%5D) One day when I went to register at a campground, there was a photograph of my father nude (and covered in bodypaint) on a flyer on the bulletin board. That was a little weird. ---

Yes. Many many years ago. Not quite tintype but many years ago. I always had problems with “it sounded like a good idea at the time”. ---
