Would you send a naked photograph to your partner if he asked?
Just that really. I am not sure if this is the norm between couples. Mine has asked but I'm not sure if I should or not.

How do you feel?
Would you or have you?

I put YABU but I meant unreasonable to send a photo not to quibble it. Never, never do this! Huge red flag if he's pressuring you.

You married a person who asks for nude pics?

Yes why not? Sharing nudes/explicit pictures is fun. I used to do it lots with DH. These days it's something we occasionally do together rather than send each other. Why judge other people's sex lives?

Coming from someone who was naive enough to do this in the past and it was spread like wildlife, 100% do not.

i was in a loving relationship and thought I could trust him but you never know.

just don’t.

theallotmentqueen · 06/01/2025 19:00

Surely depends if you’re into it, and if that’s something you want? If you’re into it and trust your partner to keep it private than go for it. If you don’t want to/don’t trust your partner/don’t feel comfortable for any reason then don’t do it!

jay55 · 06/01/2025 19:00

No. I've read enough articles about men trading nudes.

Baileysatchristmas · 06/01/2025 19:00

Mine wouldn't ask, and never has.

ImaginaryLobster · 06/01/2025 19:01

If your having to ask the question as your unsure that basically answered the question IMO

Squidtentacles · 06/01/2025 19:02

Not now, no. Something we did in the past when we were young and stupid. But I'm still with him thankfully.

Createausername1970 · 06/01/2025 19:03

No. You have absolutely no control over that image from the instant it leaves your phone. Even if you trust your partner, there can still be issues with lost phones or someone else accessing it.

Right. DH and I did this. We were young though! Who hasn't done something they've later regretted (perhaps prudes).

Patienceinshortsupply · 06/01/2025 19:05

Dear God, No. Never.

I love DH with every fibre of my being but he's a complete donkey with technology and I'd never trust him not to share it by accident or have his phone hacked.

MsCactus · 06/01/2025 19:05

Never sends nudes with your face in it! To avoid revenge porn etc... but other than that, why not

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/01/2025 19:05

I agree with all the posters who have said they absolutely would NOT do this, @Interestingone. Once a photo is out there, it’s out there for good, and you lose all control over what happens to it. I’m sure you trust your boyfriend, and he will promise you that there’s no way he’d misuse this picture - but what if the relationship ended, and he decided on a bit of revenge, using this picture? What if someone else got hold of his phone, and forwarded the picture on?

Stuffisperplexing · 06/01/2025 19:06

Do quite regularly. One thing I like is looking back at my own pics and thinking wow I was q hot then.

The cardinal rule: don't share nudes with your face in it.

ShineCow · 06/01/2025 19:08

If you have to ask on Mumsnet, don't do it.

Uol2022 · 06/01/2025 19:08

I’ve sent pics taken in low light so not too much detail and more flattering.

I basically decided that if they got out it says something bad about him, not me. And tbh I look really cute in them anyway so no shame from that pov - as revenge porn it would mostly show everyone what a fool he was to lose me.

Obvs not nice to think they could get out for pervy men on the internet to drool over but there’s so much hard porn out there already I don’t see a simple nude pic of a nobody being that valuable.

Having thought that part through quite carefully I then got carried away and agreed to a video of us having sex. Afaik that’s never been seen by anyone else, but in retrospect it was a silly thing to do. Hot af at the time tho.

Justgorgeous · 06/01/2025 19:08

No. In my 50s. Have never done this and never will.Married, but would never.

I mean we live in an era of deep fakes people can make it if they really want to anyway

JoyeuxNarwhal · 06/01/2025 19:09

No.

SleeplessInWherever · 06/01/2025 19:09

All the time.

But if you’d only be doing it because he wants you to, don’t.

VictoriaEra2 · 06/01/2025 19:10

Nope. No. Never.

Scutterbug · 06/01/2025 19:10

Not a chance.

SizzlingPrickle · 06/01/2025 19:11

Yes I would and have. I just don’t put my face or anything identifying in them.

BUT it seems like you aren’t comfortable with it so I’d say no, which is fine!! He’ll live.

StMarie4me · 06/01/2025 19:12

No.
