Partner has been asking me to send him a naked photo of myself. We have been together for a year, we don't live together. He says I want "my photo" and brings it up a lot. I have been brushing it off etc and recently told him that I don't want to risk a naked photo of myself to get out in the public as you just never know these days.
His response was that if I don't trust him with a naked photo of myself then I shouldn't trust him enough to have sex with.

Aibu?

It’s gross. I’ve been married to Dh for 15 years and no way in hell would I send him a naked photo of myself.

It’s not that I don’t trust him. I do. But I wouldn’t even have a photo like that on my own phone. There’s no guarantee that someone couldn’t somehow access it. It’s the same reason I unplug the nanny cam that Dh has set up to watch the dog when we’re out for the day as soon as I walk in the house. Because sometimes I may walk down the hall from the bathroom half naked and I can’t ever guarantee what happens to those images once they go out to a home security app.

Tosser. There is no 'his picture'. Just say 'very well, let's leave this here then. Goodbye'. You don't want someone who tries to manipulate you around sex. That's not ok

blacksax · 17/08/2024 21:20

Tell him that you are no longer going to have sex with someone who won't respect your boundaries anyway, so he can consider himself dumped.

MrsSunshine2b · 17/08/2024 21:21

He's right, you should immediately stop having sex with him and kick him to the kerb.

InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 17/08/2024 21:21

He definitely isn't husband material is he? Can't believe he even has the cheek to ask.

thebestinterest · 17/08/2024 21:22

Honestly, OP, this should read: “EX kept insisting on nudes, so I dumped his ass”

thebestinterest · 17/08/2024 21:23

Didimum · 17/08/2024 20:10

Dump immediately

😂

NewGreenDuck · 17/08/2024 21:25

Well I wouldn't trust him, so he would be right about that. And then he would be gone, because he is also an idiot.

max29 · 17/08/2024 21:25

Totally agree with him anyone male or female putting pressure on their partner for this should not be trusted. I hope you decide to dump him and move on ... don't give in to this controlling and worrying behaviour.

Furrydogmum · 17/08/2024 21:27

He's right! Get rid!

Conniebygaslight · 17/08/2024 21:28

He’s not your partner, he’s your boyfriend and an abusive creep

coldcallerbaiter · 17/08/2024 21:30

Tell him to ask his mother for one.

DreamTheMoors · 17/08/2024 21:32

Say this:

”It doesn’t hurt you to want.”

If more people remembered that, think of all the money and grief and suffering and heartache they’d save.

SaintHonoria · 17/08/2024 21:34

Op, if by chance you do stay with him, please be aware that he may be a voyeur and could have hidden cameras in his bedroom and bathroom as a back up plan if you say no to sending him photos of yourself.

TooTiredOfThisShit · 17/08/2024 21:34

He's absolutely right - you should probably stop having sex with him 🤢

Borninabarn32 · 17/08/2024 21:36

"The fact you're trying to coerce and manipulate me into doing something I don't want to do shows I shouldn't be having sex with you. Buh-bye."

I'm all seriousness. Someone who doesn't respect your boundaries should not be getting access to your body.

KreedKafer · 17/08/2024 21:36

What on earth are you doing with this absolute arsehole? He belongs in the fucking bin.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 17/08/2024 21:36

That's awful way to bully you.
What else does he do that is bullying or controlling that makes you walk on egg shells or guilt trips you

That's a lot of bush.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Springstomind don’t do it that is not how a nice man behaves xx

@PickAChew

yeah I was expecting a lovely pussy shot, and it was just all buy with a snaky bit of pussy, so disappointing!

Justrelax · 17/08/2024 21:45

Gross creep. I wouldn't trust him not to take one without your knowledge since he's so shit about boundaries.

TheNestedIf · 17/08/2024 21:45

He is correct. You shouldn't trust him enough to have sex with him. He is coercive. and coercive people are untrustworthy. If you give in to this thing you don't want to do, which would be bad enough, what other boundaries is he going to insist you give up?

Jettison. Immediately.

Survivingnotthriving24 · 17/08/2024 21:46

So many red flags!

I've been with my husband 16 years and still wouldn't send a naked photo, he's asked once, I said exactly the same as you and his only response was "fair enough" and never mentioned again.

HarrytheHobbit · 17/08/2024 21:47

But you'd do it if you love me...

AgileGreenSeal · 17/08/2024 21:47

Write on a large piece of card
YOU ARE AN ARSEHOLE
CONSIDER YOURSELF DUMPED.

Take a photo of it
send him that.
