Yes. It’s a Polaroid. And thankfully I have custody of it. ---

No. But I have hundreds on my digital camera just waiting to be posted. I’ve never been able to figure out how for myself. Can I send them to all of you so you can show me how? ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > Those were around, for sure, but they always seemed like an expensive luxury (I’m not sure they really were all that expensive, but it seemed like a lot of money for not much photo) I’m partly of the opinion that this is exactly what polaroids were for. 😃 Sure, the photo quality was less - but you had that photo without anyone else having to see it. Perfect for naughty keepsakes. If you wanted to embarrass someone with it, you had to take the effort of physically showing others that photo, or reproducing it. These days, it is just too dangerous (assuming of course you care) - pretty well everyone has a camera phone and with a flick of a button, the owner can broadcast any photo on that phone to the entire world. Or some asshole hacker could steal it, even if the owner doesn’t flick that button. ---

I’m unique - Rule 34 does not apply in my case. For which you should all thank a merciful God. Regards, Shodan ---

All photos of me are naked. Are other people putting their photos in little outfits or something? To my best knowledge one of those photos contain an image of naked me, though. ---

Last summer, I went skinny-dipping while camping, and my wife snapped a few shots with backal nudity. ---

A number of them now. I’m ok with it and still give them out. Occasionally I learn someone else is using one in thier own profile, I find that rather anoying. ---

Nope. There are barely any clothed photos of me. ---

> [@tapu](#): > > Oh, ha! 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. Hehehe, you’re possibly on public display somewhere, and don’t even know it! But yeah, I don’t see it as a big deal, either. It’s not like they get to peer deeper into my soul because I was starkers. However, now I realize that I’ve only been represented nude\* in 2-d. New personal goal: to be a nude model in a 3-d artwork. That’s probably gonna be tough, unless someone wants to do round and old as a subject. > [@Infovore](#): > > Great…um…username/post combo? 😃 Umm, just so you don’t think these “artistic portraits” of me are of a nature with unsightly textures: Please see my signature 😉 \*Related joke that any high school economics teacher would probably be suspended for telling today, but I heard it from the teacher: Q: What’s the difference between naked and nekkid? A: Naked is when you don’t have anything on, but nekkid is when you’ve got something on your mind. Ahh, it was a nekkider time. ---

No, there can be no nudes out there because none were ever taken. Go ahead – the big sigh of relief doesn’t bother me at all. Perfectly justified. There are no photos of me anywhere on the web. Maybe someday my high school yearbook will be listed online, and a geeky teen myself will finally make its internet debut. A few close friends might have me in a photo from a holiday gathering, but that would be it. Since my high school graduation in 1971, I seriously doubt that more than a dozen pictures total have been taken of me over the years, and all of them fully clothed. ---

As I said the last time this was asked, only in the form of one time when a toddler and ran out without my clothes (but with my shoes and socks on.) My parents took a picture before taking me back inside. ---

Oh yes, a fair number are kicking around out there on imgur. Out of some vague and probably unnecessary sense of propriety, most of them are sans face, but meh. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-a-naked-photo-of-you-exist-in-this-world/720912.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-a-naked-photo-of-you-exist-in-this-world/720912.md?page=5)
