To have never sent or received a "sexy pic"

Do people really do this a lot? What does it involve? I can't imagine willingly taking a naked picture of myself (pouting??) and sending it to my husband/partner/random off Tinder. I've also never opened a text to find a flaccid penis sitting there. Or erect I suppose. It really worries me that in the future my small children will think photographing your bits (I can't actually believe sane grown ups do this) and texting them to someone is normal social interaction. I feel like a dinosaur sometimes. I'm pretty sure nobody I know does this. But then again, I've never actually asked...maybe they're all at it? It just seems so dangerous - and nasty. AIBU?

I mean WHY take pics? WHY?

Because we both enjoy it.

I knew this thread would have the right amount of disgust and guffawing before I even clicked in!

"It's vile" ffs 😂

Sparklingbrook · 05/10/2017 21:18

TBF threads about this always go the same way. The people who rave about it and the people who don't understand it.

In the meantime everyone just does as they like and everybody's happy.

Silk we might have gone to the same school I think!

RosyPony · 05/10/2017 21:23

But the 'he is my husband and I trust him implicitly' comment is very naive.

Well if I didn't, I wouldn't have married him 😂

The man has watched me shit myself as I pushed a human out of my vagina, I don't think I'm too worried about him being in possession of a picture of my bum cheeks!

OH found a phone the other week, all broken. Charged it up, got it working. Had a quick nose, found pics of the guy shagging is girlfriend.

Rang 'mum' from contacts to say he'd found it and the guy came and got it, all grateful.

And that is why me and OH don't do rude pics. You could lose your phone who knows what's uploaded to the cloud on the sly by Google/Apple.

Considering both DH and my phones are both passcode and fingerprint locked, so can't be accessed just by being charged, and the fact that neither of us have the cloud enabled as backup, I think we'll be fine Wink

mrsRosaPimento · 05/10/2017 21:48

Me neither! I can't imagine a man sending me a photo of his penis as a way to seduce me.🤢

WhatToDo 'uploaded on the sly' regardless of your settings...

Fauchelevent · 05/10/2017 22:10

Some people even get PAID to do it, fancy that.

I personally can’t imagine how people can lack imagination to the extent where they can’t imagine how anyone can enjoy doing what they don’t enjoy.

I like doing it. I’ve posed nude for photographers and I’m an artist myself, the pictures I send out of my fanny could hang on walls, so they could.

I don’t really care about receiving them unless I’m very attracted to the person physically (and i’m more physically attracted to men than women) or it’s a very good nude.

But yeah. Different people enjoy different things who knew!

Right... now we're getting into conspiracy theorist bullshit so I'll leave that world of fuckery well alone.

peterpan742 · 05/10/2017 22:31

My friends ex sent her a dick pic (he'd never sent one before) and somehow sent it to her, her entire office and his work colleagues Shock

I don't send them for two reasons:

  1. Nobody wants a photo of me
  2. I have nobody to send them to

I used to work away, so would send pics to my OH, usually as a "home tonight wink wink"

Also, all these posts about pictures being saved, seen by dcs, phones lost - haven't none of you ever heard of SnapChat??? It was invented for this purpose 😂😂

pimmsy · 05/10/2017 23:00

A pussy pic for you all

I'm all for sexy pics, but you should be aware that pics from SnapChat can be easily saved.

@WhatToDoAboutThis2017

Yep. But if I'm only sending them to OH so what? (And I'd know he'd done it because you get a notification?)

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/10/2017 23:34

pp2017 There are ways to save snaps without the sender being notified.

And as for "so what?", well you started off with Also, all these posts about pictures being saved, and then mentioned SnapChat, thereby implying snaps couldn't be saved, when people should be aware that they can be, and without them knowing.

pp2017 · 05/10/2017 23:48

@WhatToDoAboutThis2017

"So what" meaning that from my own personal perspective, I don't give a rats ass if my OH saves anything I send him?!!

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 05/10/2017 23:50

pp2017 There's no need for the attitude; a lot of people are unaware that snaps can be saved, and without their knowledge. You could quite easily have been one of them, particularly from the implication in your post.

To avoid confusion in future posts, you should aim to be a little clearer.

TitsalinaBumSqoosh · 05/10/2017 23:57

What a man thinks will happen when when sending a dick pic,

Woman - Oh my goodness! Look at that hard, manly penis! I must have it right away, must get to Boris asap!

tygr · 05/10/2017 23:57

I do it. With my boyfriend. We can’t see each other as often as we’d like and we both enjoy it. We also send each other sexy audio clips.

I’m in my 40s. He’s a fair bit older. Get us eh? Each to their own.

pp2017 · 05/10/2017 23:58

stop getting your knickers in a twist - I was trying to be light hearted and tongue in cheek 😂😂😆😆

Bloody hell MN gets serious quick these days..... 😳😳

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 06/10/2017 00:00

pp2017 Well yes, it is a rather serious matter if people aren't aware that the nudes they send can be saved without their knowledge.

Like I said, I'm all for them, but people do need to be know the ins and outs of apps like SnapChat if they're going to use them.

TitsalinaBumSqoosh · 06/10/2017 00:04

I don't give a shiny shit what people send to their partners, what I did find uncomfortable was someone I know through a family member has full sized pictures of herself from an explicit boudoir photoshoot hung up all over her house!
When you walk down the stairs there is one on the wall next to you so you have her digitally printed minge in your face,
There is no where to look without seeing these images, I can't imagine what her kids friends think on play dates. Shock
