Are nudes an important part of a relationship?

Personally, I hate taking nude pictures of myself and could care less about getting them, I feel like they've become overrated.
But my boyfriend is away at school and almost everyday he asks for bootypics and etc (especially at the worst times-ex when I'm working or doing chores) and he knows that I don't like taking them. He sends me stuff too but they don't do anything for me, I don't feel teased or turned on, I'm just like hmm penis and I move on and he knows this. We've talked about this several times and I've told him it's not fun to me, it just feels like a chore if I don't send them when I want and he still asks. Shits annoying.

  • I like getting nudes, but I don't like taking them. I don't like taking them because I hate my body. My partners are aware I don't like taking them and don't ask for them, even though we're long distance. We express our sexuality in other ways. It doesn't sound like he respects your boundaries very much, or takes your desire seriously. Not a guy I'd like to be with!

  • Sending anyone nude photos of yourself that shows your face is quite dumb. Relationships come and go and leaving a transient lover with such pics is playing Russian Roulette with bullets in all six chambers. If things end badly, an upset partner can use the photos to make your life hell. NEVER send nudies.

  • If it's making you uncomfortable then you don't have to. Doesn't sound like a good relationship if he will happily ask you to do something you're uncomfortable with and expect to see the result. Don't you think that's a bit one sided?

  • No. And if his phone gets hacked your pictures will be on the internet. Or if you break up and he's not into respecting boundaries.

  • They're not important. We'll, at least thats my input.

  • Incredibly unimportant.

  • It sounds like you have already sent him nude picture of you. It seems rather selfish that he keeps wanting more, considering that he knows that you don't like taking and sending them.

  • He's probably a horny kid

  • Yeah, I never asked a girlfriend for nudes so I'm all cool

  • You're gem babe 😘❤️

  • No. Most people regret sending them

  • Agree with u, hate nudes too...

  • I think they can be fun a part of flirting

    • I get that but doesn't timing matter? Or at least some types of foreplay with it? Just saying hey send nudes is lame

    • Agreed

  • You can send me

  • I don't think so, but sexy pics are definitely nice to get.

  • No, I would rather see her and hear her express her love than just see her body. I would prefer 100 times a small video of her telling me that she loves me with a big smile on her face.

  • no i had 6 years relationship not a single nude

  • No definitely not

  • I prefer to look at the real thing in front of me.

  • I think in a long distance relationship is can be good. Or even now with covid and all the lock downs. Just be safe

  • you can take an evening (or much less) and take several pics in different poses and clothes/underwear.. then send them 1 at a time... over 4 month period, make him BEG

  • If your relationship is long distance or you just don’t see each other much then yes they are especially for the guy
