Yes and infact, I’m the the photo spread for May of 2005 in a calendar, too!

Since semi-nudes count… there are photos that exist of me in that state. I have taken nude pictures with a digicam, but they were summarily deleted, a shame… the ones that remained are serving as sufficient motivation for me to go to the gym every day, if only to return to that former state.

I do find an odd appeal in having my picture taken nude… I have a particular attraction to black and white photos. Yet - no partners lately (at least prior to the last one) were daring enough to ask. I assume this is taboo or something.

No, and never will be.

Unless someone got a picture of me in my sandals, water bottle, and sunhat at PSG '95 (a nudist event), no.

Thank Og.

You know, I work with a guy who will make comments like this _all the time_. I think his sole purpose in life is to respond in cases of ambiguous wording. I apparently have to keep in mind that this, being the Straight Dope, is like being on a web forum with 50,000 other people just like him.

See? See what I mean? Aww, who am I kidding - I love it.

A few existed on my PC from when I was bored, but they were deleted in case lady friend frowned upon them (her and I took some together so it was probably unlikely)

A few exist of me, sans head, somewhere online, I think I’ll get rid of them all.

Solo by a mile, although given the taker of the pictures (in the most recent cases), it was not unexpected:)

No, I like your original idea. 😉

What counts as partial nude for a guy, anyway? A sock, strategically placed?

No shirt?

Speedos? (shudder)

Um…considering our mutual interests, a comic book, strategically placed, or a Monster Manual?

That’s it for ideas.

\<RHPS\>Male Tit! Male Tit!\</RHPS\>  
I was wondering about the various “partial nude” comments, too. What parts are we talking about, here?

Just trying to wrap my brain around what qualifies. I mean, male toplessness - not really partial nudity.

1981 in a small college town somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard: When I got back to college sophomore year, I realized I had photos waiting for me at the drugstore. As I walked back toward campus (ie, across the street) I started looking at the photos. The last one in the stack was me standing naked in my freshman dorm room with a fake tattoo on my arm, buck naked, flipping the bird at the camera. I think I may still have the photo.

I think a better thread would be: **Does a nude photo of you exist anywhere on this earth and are you willing to share?** 😃

There’s been pics and webcam stuff of me transmitted over the internet and therefore put out of my immediate control, so I can’t be sure if they still exist or not, but I don’t have anything on my computer.

So for all I know, the answer is somewhere between “no, nothing exists” and “yeah my pic is plastered all over some internet site somewhere and I have no idea”

There was one, once, that I emailed to a guy online, but he _claims_ he’s deleted it, and I _know_ that I’ve deleted it.

Uh-oh.

Share?

I don’t know about that, but I can get you a decent price on the videos. I get a cut of every one that’s sold.

An ex-boyfriend of mine took some of me topless, just for fun, but I deleted them from his camera. Turns out there was one I missed, but he _claims_ he deleted it- luckily, I had my hands over my breasts in that particular one. I’m just hoping I didn’t miss any others…
