to be surprised that it seems the norm to have nekkid photos of yourself?

I guess its an age thing, but I'd be really surprised if any many of my friends had had nude photos taken, either by a lover or a professional photographer.

Perhaps I'll ask next time we're out and we've had a few!

But, meanwhile, I'll ask you lot: have you posed for naked pics, why and where are they now?

Oh and how old are you?

No, and I'm in my late 20's.

Though I did take a few.. suggestive pictures for my boyfriend in a see through shirt. I assume he deleted them, but who knows? He's a decent guy and they wouldn't end up on the internet anyway.

NCISaddict · 02/09/2014 17:57

I did back in the polaroid days, I kept them and eventually shredded them. They were taken when I was in my late 30s early 40s.

Bulbasaur · 02/09/2014 17:57

*Boyfriend at the time. He's been an EX for at least 8 years.

SaucyJack · 02/09/2014 17:57

Nope.

Wish I had tho before it all went south.

Vitalstatistix · 02/09/2014 17:58

Good god no.
I am 40.
wouldnt do it no matter how old I was.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/09/2014 17:58

Good grief no and I'm early 40's.

Scabetty · 02/09/2014 17:59

Jeez no! If I wanted to turn stomaches maybe lol.

JennyOnTheBlocks · 02/09/2014 17:59

i've got some, i rescued them from my mother

they weren't posed either Wink

PicandMinx · 02/09/2014 18:01

Yes - a long time ago when my tits were above my waist. I have no idea what happened to the photos - they were black and white arty shots.

revealall · 02/09/2014 18:01

40's. Lots really. Holiday shots with friends, a few at Uni from boyfriend and some arty ones when pregnant.

ageingdisgracefully · 02/09/2014 18:02

No, never, even when I had something worth looking at. I'm 54. I find it very, very strange that people do this. I find it even stranger that people in the public eye are surprised that uploaded photos of their naked selves pop up all over the web. What do they expect, exactly?

TheDeathOfRats · 02/09/2014 18:05

Well, I had a few I sent to my boyfriend when I was young and pretty, and one showing a massive rash down my back/bum/legs, don't think any hacked type person would want that one though!

Not even NCing for this.

Yes, I do. Not uncommon for me to take a suggestive nude selfie. Why not?! Happy with my body, and I'm a poser Grin

I remember reading a thread a while back about a MNer who had been sent a pic from a guy she was dating of his cock, and everyone was shocked. I remember reading it and thinking "errrrr pretty much every guy I've ever dated has sent me a pic of his cock at some point!".

I'm mid 20s.

StrawberryMouse · 02/09/2014 18:06

I'm late twenties and send some bits and pieces to DH sometimes. I trust him not to tag me on Facebook in them or anything. Grin

NCISaddict · 02/09/2014 18:06

Forgot to say, my DH took them, I didn't think they were particularly flattering but he liked them.

I think the celebs that have had their photos stolen from the cloud had a very reasonable expectation that their photos were private and should have been secure (providing their passwords weren't given to all their friends), we should all be able to have whatever,legal, photos we want without them being stolen.

furcoatbigknickers · 02/09/2014 18:07

I did when pregnant with number 3

HaroldLloyd · 02/09/2014 18:08

Not a chance of me getting nekkid shots.

Yes, but that's not got very much to do with my op.

No I know but it was in reply to Ageing, sorry should have made that clear

meddie · 02/09/2014 18:15

Nope never. Did have a BF once who took a pic of me coming out of the bathroom naked. I made him destroy the film (pre digital days) I had heard too many horror stories of ex's maliciously posting photos around/to porn mags etc to be willing to take the risk that one day someone who knew me would see them.

Organiccookies · 02/09/2014 18:15

I'm early 20s and have never taken nekkid pics nor allowed anyone to take them of me. Not even on snapchat. Not even close to nekkid. And I wouldn't. Not even dp.

Notacs · 02/09/2014 18:15

No, but my body is a car crash anyway!

revealall · 02/09/2014 18:16

Forgot to say I have photo's but I would never put any online/digital storage. Asking for trouble or photoshopping.

One advantage of old technology I guess. Once burnt forever lost.

FreeSpirit89 · 02/09/2014 18:17

Mid 20's and yes.

They have been deleted know when me and my sons father parted ways.
