Own Your Nudes!

If you've seen me around, you know I'm kind of a big supporter of sending nudes. I don't necessarily encourage sending them, especially if you're underage, but I don't see anything wrong with it...if you know what you're doing and you're aware of what you're signing up for when you agree to send them.

A year ago someone, from here, actually, convinced me to start sending nudes. I'd never done so prior. I actually used to be against sending them, believe it or not. I started in baby steps. I showed him my boobs in a bra, then I took the bra off. Then he wanted a fully body picture...which I made him work for. He had to practically beg for weeks before I agreed to it.

Why? Not because I didn't trust him. But because I wasn't confident in myself, because literally nobody had seen my (adult) naked body except for me up until that point. And in my lack of confidence I questioned him, silently. I wondered why does he want to see my body naked? There are a plethora of other girls, a thousand times more attractive with bodies definitely more fit, toned and aesthetically pleasing than mine. Why choose me?

When he came back with words of encouragement, with words of appreciation, I felt good. I felt better than good, I got a momentary boost of confidence. The world was at my feet, I was an attractive young woman who, for the first time in her knowledge, had made a guy breathless. It was a bit intoxicating, but it still wasn't enough to convince me to send him my face in the pictures. You think it took him awhile to get me to send my body to him? Imagine how much convincing he had to do to get me to send him my face and body.

But this time I wasn't hesitant because of insecurity, I was suspicious. I didn't understand why he needed or wanted my face in the pictures so badly. Was my body not enough? I didn't, and honestly still don't, understand what his thought process was. I thought he could get off with just my boobs and vagina, so why does he need my face? It's just a face. This time I was convinced he had ulterior motives, so I took awhile to weigh the pros and cons.

For one thing, I would be pleasing him. I'd be giving him what he wanted. It's a personality flaw that continues to be my greatest downfall. And then on the other hand I knew there was at minimum a 60% chance of him posting the pictures somewhere, a porn site or, god forbid, sending them to someone on here for whatever reason. I feared him saving my photos, knowing he would have them stockpiled for use as leverage (a year later, I absolutely adore that he saves them).

So I went for it, obviously. My need to please him overrode my fear of them being spread around. And with time, I realized I really wasn't afraid of them being spread about. They end up on the internet? Fine. Look at all the controversy that pop stars find themselves in for the photoshoots they do? Life goes on, people I know may stumble across them one day, but after a week it'll be history.

Owning your nudes takes the negative power of them away. And when you strip the situation of fear, you realize how fun it actually is. You get to explore your body in ways you maybe haven't thought of doing before, and you get to bring someone along for that ride. Someone who, hopefully, appreciates your body and the opportunity to learn it in a setting where they're not too distracted on the task of getting their dick in the right hole.

Not to mention the satisfaction of surprising them with a picture and getting a "Holy fuck, that was hot." in return for your efforts. Perhaps I'm just addicted to being wanted, or having my ego stroked. Maybe it just gives me a cheap thrill when I'm told my photos gave a dude a hard on. Most likely, it's just the easiest form of validation that makes me continue to take them.

Own Your Nudes!

Whatever my reasons may be for sending nudes, I'm not saying they're everyones reasons. Nor am I trying to convince people who don't send nudes already to begin sending them. This was more of an open statement to those who currently send them and may feel queasy and uncertain about sending them, to let y'all know: own your nudes, own yourself.

  • I consider them ART and appreciation for self body care & toning. I agree... own your nudes.

  • The nude pics gets old after a while. Gone and forgotten.

  • I always appreciate any woman who has the trust me in me, and takes the time to take and send me, racy photos of any time (non-nudes as well as nudes).

    I definitely display my appreciation and the extension of trust.

    P. S. I'm also very, very, VERY big on discretion. I never tell anyone who sends me racy photos (nude or not). Hell some of my friends may not even know if I ever received a racy photo or not because i'm so private and hush-hush about that stuff lol. Her racy photos will never be seen by anyone's eyes but mine, and I never send them or post them anywhere.

  • I really like it^^
    that is exactly how I feel. I just started sending like sexy pics when I started on gag but I am still reluctant to send a nude nude for the reasons you mentioned :P
    Same feeling overall when sending a pic and getting complimented and same feeling of doubt and fear lol.
    huh who knows.. maybe in the end I ll end up sending some.
    thanks for the take ^^

    • Hey, I never got the memo that you were sending sexy pics =/

    • @Levin huh oups :P

    • Thanks for reading :)

  • I would really like to send nudes and I have the confidence to do so. What I do not want to send is a picture of me standing in front of a mirror with my package exposed and my phone in the picture and everything else in the background etc. I wished I had sexy pictures that I could send. I do not know a photographer that wants to take nudes of males. I do not currently have someone in my life that wants to come over and take pictures that I would find worth sending. What kind of nudes is apropriate for the male to send?

    • none

  • send me in inbox then =D :p lots of love naughty girl

  • Well that's awkward

    • ? what is?

  • Holy shit, you're a very good writer!

    I have sent nudes too but I would never show my face. Even if asked, I wouldn't do it. I understand there's insignificant issues for nudes these days on a great scale, but also you're sending nudes to someone in particular and they might not respect that, so in a way not showing your face is a way to auto-counter that? lol I don't know if I'm making sense.

    But yeah it is hot and a great way to interact, great take.

    • Well thank you! And I understand. :)

  • Great take t-wrecks! Definitely applicable for a lot of folks here on GAG! :P

  • I think there are a lot of women out there who believe this and helps their confidence. Especially with sexting. Makes them feel... well wanted you could say. Great take! 😊

  • I am all for sending nudes but I don't think you should do it unless you can handle them being made public. I am not saying all guys will spread them around, definitely not, I just think you should be able to handle if they did.

    • Its mutual fun at end of the day

    • ohhh wow then i want to see

  • Guys get boners when the wind blows just right and that breeze tickles the sweet spot. Somtimes when I work out I get a boner, oh and one time I didn't do anything and we had lift off! All I'm saying is giving a guy a boner is too easy, how can that really boost a girls ego? Like what is it that makes girls feel better about themselves when a guy has lift off?

  • If only you sent them to Jack first...

    RIP Jack

    • He would noooooot have wanted them!

    • Lies! He wanted everything and you gave him nothing :(

    • Staahhhpppp makin me feel bad!

  • If you send nudes, just be okay with neighbors, mom and dad, future boyfriends or husband, your own children, you co-worker and employer being able to see them.

    Once they are out there people will spread them around, it happens.

  • I've recieved a several nudes from here all confirmed authentic. one girl is even on my facebook.

    i never ever snitched or shared my pics and hate those who snitch and share to brag. i think its such a shady thing to do and disrespectful to share them.

    its dumb boys who ruin it for others.

  • As with anything in life, it is all about respect for self, and others

    I am a shameless showoff, love nude pics and videos, but I would never impose them on anyone. Only ever share if invited

  • Hey if you're hot... use it

  • Great take. I absolutely agree

  • You've never sent me any... pfffft. Nice pictures though very professional

  • It all comes down to you wanting attention. I see your point but I still think nudes are a bad idea
