Nudes before sex?

I was recently given the advice that before embarking on a new sexual venture, that nudes might help with getting us more comfortable. Is it better to know before hand what they look like naked? Or to be surprised at the time?

  • Who gave this advice?
    There's NEVER a "good" reason to share nudes first.
    There's only one situation I can think of where you'd want to do that, and that's if both of you are interested only in sex and nothing else. However, it's still risky. You have to absolutely certain the guy can be trusted, and if sex is the goal, that likelihood decreases. What if he's scamming you just for the pic? What if he has no intention of hooking up but just wants your pic to spread around the internet while he slut shames you, because he's a fucked up freak?

    I agree with C. Masters - if you're in it for a relationship, the rest comes first. If he really likes you, he'll likely really like your body. If he's more interested in your body than the rest of you, it's just a hook-up in the end anyway. So DO NOT do it.

  • Nope, don’t do it.

    it’s you as a person they want or should want, if it’s simply your body, then walk.

    the reality of sending naked pics is not them going mmmm lovely but, “oh you seen how her pussy lips are” or “what do you think of her boobs”

    basically a discussion about your body.

    i say this as I’ve done it before.

    personally it’s far better leaving it as clothed shots if you send, even then they have met you and everyone has agreed to a meet up.

    surprises are often better.

    also you saying “oh it looked bigger in the photo” may not go down well lol.

    it’s you as a person they like, so just go with that and giving someone else naked photos pretty much means you lose rights over your body when they post them on Instagram or Fetlife etc.

  • Surprised.

    Nudes are risky behavior in probably any settings. What if he loses his phone? What if he sends it to friends? Nudes raise many questions. In some cases, it can backfire on the excitement factor.

    So it's better to just come out naked in front of your partner, before having sex, rather than sending nudes.

  • Personally I think nudes is just so sketchy. He could do anything with them

  • Not a fan of sending nudes. You want to do something like that, just get naked in person before hand.

  • as someone who does not want to see their nudes on the internet, as a general rule i just don't send any

    • That's my usual policy as well!

  • You should definitely start sending nudes before having sex... This having a great deal of bonus pros and will motivate both of them to become more physical and experienced

  • It's not going to matter really, because sex without commitment is always just going to waste your time anyway.

    • Video Games waste time as well, but just like meaningless sex... it makes people feel better, and it's fun! 😁

    • Video games also don't cause stress and emotional baggage lmao

    • Meaningless sex doesn't carry stress or emotional baggage. You put the game in the Xbox... play til your done... then move on to the next game. No stress or emotional baggage. You just enjoy your time with the game. You may even come back to play a game two or three times. That's fine as well. 😉

  • Once you send them they are out there forever... Please have some morals.

  • No nudes at all…. I raised three beautiful girls by myself and I told them that images placed online never go away. Preserve your dignity and self respect and keep nudity one on one.

  • I'm honestly not fussed

  • C. Since I was a teen, the standard approach to preparing for sexual intimacy was hands-on field research. Study it in advance. Look at it. Touch it, smell it. Taste it. Even listen to it (you might be surprised). It was all about exploration, discovery, mystery and even real romance. You don't even ask her if she is a virgin (research will tell you) and sure as hell, you don't ask for her past sexual menu. You don't manhandle her like a klutz. You learn about the terrain in advance (like a Marine infantryman). There are plenty in internet recourses and even the local public library to get good mapping.
    I would never have it any other way.

  • If you have to ask, it's probably not for you.

  • Depends on the guy I guess. With my, we'd focus on building up your wrist strength so you could remain tied to the rafters for long periods of time.

  • Sure but, do it in person!! FUCK THAT CELL PHONE BULLSHIT!!

  • I persoanlly wouldn't send nude pics. Once you send you lose control and they could end up anywhere.
    Just get naked in front of each other. Let things happen naturally

  • I would never agree to date a person, let alone have sex with them, without first seeing her naked. If I didn't like what I saw, I'd be polite about it and just say she's not my type, and if it was via pics or vids, I'd delete them.

    The absolute worst, is having to tell someone in person to put their clothes back on, and that you want to break up after deciding to date for months, 3 years after being friends.

    I'd rather she just asked if I was interested with zero expectations, and I respond with "i don't know yet because I don't know what you look like" she solves that problem, and I answer with yes or not my type, and then we either date if yes, and if no, we get to keep our friendship because we didn't invest enough romantically/emotionally to become heartbroken from a no.

  • If you're a shy person I can see how it would help.

    Personally I keep my face out of nudes in order to prevent people from causing me trouble.

    Have fun, be safe.

  • To be honest it should be a surprise. It's not good behavior doing that, Personally I don't send nudes. Maybe just sexy body pics but I never send a nude.

  • I like to be seen before...

  • Why would a pretty girl like you want to just give it up at such a young age you should save that for the beautiful wedding day

    • A bit late for that one, but thank you. That was the original plan.

    • Ok……

  • If you have the possibility to see each other in person: is not necessary. If it's a LDR without a clear distance closer: absolutely necessary, unless you're ok been a pen pall.

  • I don't recommend sending nudes to anyone. If you break up or the relationship never materialize those pictures can ruin your life if they got in the wrong hands.

  • For me, nudes naturally come before as sexual talk preceeds sex for me. I may be a bit special but I tend to get to know the person for months before sex.. I know it may sound weird.
