A lot of opinions have been posted on the sending of nude pictures of oneself. Included is a lot of shaming and forming of opinions of the morality of the person. I want to point out a few things that I think should be considered.

First, there are a lot of guys sending out unsolicited dick pics. That is bad and I hope common sense can agree with that. There are also some women that do that, though the guys are not complaining like the women are. But I am making the point that women also do that.
Second, the guys wanting pictures are often offensive in the way they ask, and the way they repetitively ask. And for many women, asking just once is terrible. If a guy asks his girlfriend, that is a matter between them, not a guy asking all girls. But what about guys asking on here?
Age is important!
Lots of guys are hitting up underage gals. Often it is by simply saying
"PM me" after a conversation that is obviously leading to this topic. Often the gals are considerably under age. For instance a 13 year old girl states she is sexually active and that she sends nude pictures. Suddenly several guys ranging in age from teens to 60's is requesting a private message session. The proof of what they say (and send) is hidden from the rest of us. So I don't know how to stop that. Perhaps suggestions could be considered by the admins.
But what about older?

For those of legal age, how serious is the problem? Many here are shaming all the men for wanting to see nude photos. Often they also shame the women for showing them. Watching the things that are shared on here, you can see guys getting chastised for asking for nudes from women who are good looking. But go back and look again. I see many women asking other women for nude photos. Often it is not an outright question, but is stated like "I would love to see your breasts/butt/whatever without clothes." Many more than I would have expected. My point here is that many women are just as forward as the men in requesting nude photos. Yet I never see them "shamed" for it.

And on the topic of shaming, what is so bad about it? If someone is an exhibitionist and enjoys showing their body, so what? This is not the place to either show or to get into the advertising of it. But discussing preferences and kinks are common here. If someone expresses that they are an exhibitionist, they should not be shamed for it. And if someone privately asks to see them, no one is being hurt. It is obvious from conversations on here that many people are sharing nudes, and neither those who show nor those who look are hurting anyone.
What about How Do I Look?
Many of the photos posted are to show sexual features and get judgements. To get more attention and higher marks, many women are pushing the boundaries of what is permitted. And the biggest problem is that GAG does not seem to understand its own rules. Not so long ago it seemed that genitals and female nipples and areolas were "out of bounds". So a completely nude woman shown from the back was okay. Over the years many photos of naked women with the pubic area blocked out and the nipples and areolas blocked were allowed to stay up. Recently I have noticed some of those photos being hidden. Perhaps the problem is "What are the rules?" When I look in the FAQ I do not find an exact rule for this. And what exactly is "explicit" when selecting a "crime" when reporting a post? And a completely different question - how does a picture of the bread you baked qualify as "How Do I Look?"
Stop the Shaming.
I think there would be less arguments and more peaceful conversations if people would stop the shaming. If you are asked about your thoughts on nakedness, answer politely or do not answer. if you see something that is against the rules, politely mention it or report it.
Conclusion
The parties who are exchanging nudes are enjoying sexual pleasures from doing so, but not involving others. And their methods of sexual enjoyment are far safer than hooking up with strangers. I enjoy looking at naked women. But I also know many on here who share naked photos with others, and I have never seen them. But I still respect their choice of pleasure and their right to do so.
