None that I am aware of. In my youth, it might not have been too bad, but now, thank Og there isn’t one. 🙂 ---

Years ago when I was in good shape, my girlfriend had a photographer friend of hers take photos of us in the nude in a variety of settings. I never saw them - for all I know there was no film in the camera. I keep hoping a blackmailer will run across them and attempt to blackmail me with them. I will buy a number of sets just to prove to people that I was at one time a “hottie”. ---

Not totally nude, but probably enough to qualify as “lots” of partially nude shots of me, exist unquarantined- that is to say I mailed 'em to people, the people may or may not ever distribute them to the web, and I can’t say I’d be horribly upset if they turn up somewhere. I’m not thin by any means whatever, so if they show up they’ll most likely be in the context of “Urp, how dare this woman show herself like that!?” (I’ve often seen photos of women who aren’t totally conventionally attractive linked to or mocked in that context) but I can’t say I care about that either. Thin? Respectable? Those two concepts seem to elude me 😉 ---

Yes, there are naked pictures of me. My husband fancies himself quite the photographer, and I think he’s amassed a couple of folders full of pictures. There are some that even I think are quite good, but then there are some I would rather die than have them seen by anyone. ---

I’m curious. Does it seem weirder to take naked pictures of oneself, or to have someone else take the pictures? ---

Not sure about the net, but there are some pics. At least one set I was also wearing handcuffs, hmm…does that count as semi-nude? ---

> [@Harimad-sol](#): > > I’m curious. Does it seem weirder to take naked pictures of oneself, or to have someone else take the pictures? I’ve been thinking about this, and neither really seems weird, although they seem to have different meanings. In the examples below, ‘you’ is generic. Have pictures taken by your lover: A sharing moment, could be romantic, but it certainly is sexy, knowing that you posed for someone else in that picture. Take pictures of yourself: Quite hot, mostly, as it shows what I feel to be quite a bit of self-confidence and verve, more than I’ve got anyway. ---

Yes, I took about 12 to 20 of them for a girlfriend, and they still exist on my jalopy laptop. Uploading and sending them to her without looking at them was not an easy task, by the way. ---

Yes, no actual children were harmed during the course of my digital exhibitionism. ---
