You don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with or aren't interested in. It's completely up to you. If it's something your partner is interested in, and you trust him and feel okay about letting him have copies of compromising photos of you, and it's something you think would be fun, then go for it. If not, skip it or wait and see if you feel comfortable with it later on down the road. I would recommend letting this decision happen naturally, rather than forcing yourself to decide at a time when you're not sure how you want things to work. Let your relationship evolve and see what happens.
I've been in long distance relationships where I did this with my partner, and long distance relationships where I didn't because it just didn't happen. It depends on so many factors. Just do what feels right for you at any given time.
Do be aware that when you give someone access to digital media that is compromising, you can't control what they will do with it in the future. It's a good idea to be extremely cautious about who you choose to share that kind of thing with.
and no, you don't have to.
You should only do it if it is something that you want and feel is needed in your relationship.
However you should discuss this with your boyfriend as well, since he might not think the same and you should be sure that you both are on the same page.
Maybe you just need time. How recent is the relationship?
Or maybe you just want to do stuff that is more physical when you meet in person. That is fine.
But you need to ask yourself the reason why you feel it is not needed and be certain that he wants the same and, if he doesn't, that he is ok with it and willing to respect your feelings.
It is too much of an important issue to not be sure if he doesn't mind. He neeeds to be honest about it. He doesn't have to say he agrees just to appease you.
Discuss it openly with him and make sure he knows you are willing to hear him out, whatever his answer may be. Try to find a way to make it work for both of you.
Best of luck
No you dont have to , only if you want it. For me and my boyfriend it started after few months of dating he first showed me and never asked me to show him but then he said baby i am not gay i dont want to see myself masturbating , i felt guilty and i started showing slowly ^^ until i showed him everything and tbh i dont regret cuz we r so in love wit eachother and when we meet he is just perfect and we dated for long time now. The point is if u dont trust him do not show him or if u r not comfortable with it DO NOT DO IT u may regret after that if he is a player. Good luck to u ^^
Long distant relationships were going on for centuries before there was any such thing as Skype, the Internet, or digital cameras. They were going on before there were any kind of cameras at all. Before, telephone, telegraph, Morse Code, planes, trains or cars.
Even as recently as 20 years ago the technology to send nudes didn't even exist for most people. If somebody took a nude pic with a film camera, they had to go through the embarrassment of having a lab develop the film and print the pictures. Not to mention all the other people who might handle those pictures during that process. Then it would have to be sent through the regular mail, which was outright illegal in many places (probably still is).
I know couples from opposite sides of the world who met and got married long before any of this stuff existed. They have children and even grand children. I'm pretty sure that sending nudes is not necessary for a LDR.
You dont HAVE to do anything you do not feel comfortable doing. Just because it is a long distance relationship does not mean you should be obligated to do those things. Granted myself as a guy would not mind receiving those things from someone if I was in a long distance relationship, but I would not beg or make the other believe its only expected.

You don't have to do anything u will feel uncomfortable with. If he loves you, he'll respect ur feelings.
You don't have to if you don't want to. It's up to you. It's not a requirement.
If you don't have to show any naked parts and if he really cares about you he will respect that.
and if you ever want to send a naked pics... just don't show your face
no matter how long you've dating him
he might get hacked and your pics will be all around the internet showing your naked body
That's a long distance friendship dear, not a relationship.
Not sending nude photos etc. does NOT mean that it's a friendship rather than a romantic relationship. That's ridiculous.
@samhradh_leannan It's different how?
Do I really need to explain this? The definition of a romantic relationship is not "an arrangement where two people exchange nude photos and have Skype sex". What distinguishes a romantic relationship from a friendship is how you feel about the other person, which can include sexual attraction EVEN if that attraction is not being acted on in specific ways all the time.
I voted C. but I just say this because as a man he needs visual stimulation ESPECIALLY if it's long distance. He wants to think about you and not some pornstar on his computer. Which he may turn to if he can't get pics from you.
But for you, it has to be something you want to do. If you don't want to do it, then don't but just take into consideration his side of it. He is saying he things you are hot and sexy and he wants to see you naked.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. If thats a requirement, just forgo the whole thing. I can understand the desire to try, but to me long-distance relationships aren't worth it. So many obstacles
if you don't want it... don't do it
he's your boyfriend, its not that you need to. Its more about wanting to
Leaving naked pictures online isn't safe.
You definitely don't have to but it would be better if you did. It's your body, so it's really up 2 you.
If you want to, sure. Otherwise that is just a long distance friendship.
I do think exposing yourself to each other will bring you closer to each other. You are showing complete humility to each other. That's pretty deep.
i never asked for them or received them when i had a long distance relationship. i wouldn't have minded them but i didn't want to ask. if a girl wants to send a guy nudes, she will do it when she is ready
It's your body, your choice.
Your not required to do that , but it will be better if you did , take it slowly.
You don't have to do anything if you don't want to. Its your body! But guys are much more visual and do like to see so yes any guy would appreciate if there girlfriend did that for them but its something you should want to do, not be forced to do.
Whenever a question starts with "Do I have to" the answer is usually no.
You do whatever makes you comfortable.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to. And if he pressures you, I would tell him to get lost. He should respect your feelings.
