Why do boys/men want nudes?

Okay so the title sounds stupid but listen up. Why do guys ask for and want nudes when there are much better and more explicit pictures or videos on the internet? I know for sure my body won't compare to a porn star's, she's gonna look much hotter than me, so really I feel embarrassed of my photos and am surprised anyone seems pleased!


Why don't men just google some porn on Pornhub and be done? Surely that's much better

  • Personally, I DGAF about nude photos. But I'd prefer to look at the face of the woman I was with than anyone else's. I'm rather happy just to get clothed pictures from my girlfriends. Best one was one who used to send me a picture of her blowing a kiss every night before she went to bed.

    There's too much skin being shown nowadays anyway. When I was a kid, the cutest girl I knew wore bib overalls all the time. I didn't even know what her ankles looked like, let alone anything beneath the neck. There is no anticipation, titillation or any kind of build up or enjoyment of all those little firsts you get with a new girl if you just do and see everything all at once, and all the time.

    That's right, ladies, the men in contest for the title of most virulently misogynistic asshole on this damn site is just that much of a faithful and conservative guy. I'd rather beat it thinking of the woman I was with than anyone else, and I'd prefer she respect herself and her body.

  • 1. Because it means more if it's someone he knows and/or likes.

    2. Because it's more interactive. He doesn't know what he's going to get, so it's kind of a prize or adventure - and he can hope for more because there's an ongoing interaction.

    3. Because he's attracted to VARIATION, like virtually all men. That means even though he's seen 100 or 1000 or 10000 women naked, he still wants to see OTHER girls naked. Even more than that, he wants to see DIFFERENT-LOOKING women naked.

    4. He's horny, and hopes that if you'll send him nudes, that you might eventually consider having sex with him too.

  • because theyre bunch of douche bags who want to nothing more than sex. and i honestly dont know why a girl would even send nudes, i mean.. like aren't you even ashamed? i dont know what girls are trying to prove by sending nudes. sending nude pics of urself to guys is not a way of being confident about ur body, its a whole different situation. if u do send nudes well, u've been automatically been labeled as 'S. L. U. T' no offense, its true. have some self respect and.. yeah whatever. i think this littlr runt of mine is long enough. Adios mi amigo

  • I think it's something psychological. The nudes of someone they know and have a romantic interest in probably feel more intimate than the nudes of some posing stranger on the internet, because your nudes feel real.
    It's probably also an ego thing; those pornstar nudes aren't exclusive or unique, anyone can see them. Your nudes however are send to him and him alone and you send them because you wanted him specifically to have them.
    Those are my hypotheses at least - guys, please let me know if I'm right.

  • as a girl I can honestly say I don't know... I personally hate receiving and I never send them... I feel they are very unpersonal and not cute.

    • sharing nudes with a special one is like having sex but online. It's a sexual/romantic connection. They don't want a strangers nudes, they want the nudes of someone they love.

  • Ego is really the biggest driver of men - more than even sex. Getting nudes is a "win" over other dudes, whereas porn is for everyone.

  • Please stop sending nudes of yourself. Nothing good will come of it.

  • I don't want them. God no. Put yourself on the Internet forever? Hell no.

  • Mainly for the power of your sacrifice.

  • Don't ask why, we just do. How many Turners do you need to see before you get turned off landscapes?

  • It's the mental aspect of it. Knowing who the person is in the picture is a turn on, the fact that you like the guy enough to give him the pictures is a turn on, the fact that you'd take pictures like that is a turn on, etc. Getting pictures from a girl you like is way better.

  • Honestly, I don't know. I personally think a woman doesn't have self-respect is she's sending nudes to every guy she meets.

  • the girls are on point on this one, I agree that it's an ego thing a sense of pride of receiving a nude. it's kind of like a challenge they sometimes do it for sport like when you ask for a girls # it doesn't mean you'll always text them. tbh it's cool if I can get a nude but I can't get fully hard just of a pic or some sexting I rather watch porn if I want to get off.

  • It's just because it seems more genuine... i guess.

  • To jerk off

  • They lack morals and respect of a girl/ woman is why they want nudes.

  • I know why some stupid guys want nudes. They love your boobs and your vaginas. They love to stare at the pictures and jerk off to them when they get an erection.

  • I'd much rather a picture of a girl I'm into than any model. setting someone you like in a sexual manner is part of attraction and men are primarily visual when it comes to this

  • Because emotional attachment. They don't want to see some random stranger's nudes. They want to see YOUR nudes because they have feelings for YOU.

  • "when there are much better and more explicit pictures or videos on the internet?"

    knowing the person and that she took them for me is a massive turn on and adds a lot to it. that part misses completely with random nudes from the internet

  • so we can touch ourselves

  • Cause boobies

  • we would rather see you nude

  • I think only the boys who don't actually care about women on an emotional level want nudes. I like this girl. I don't want naked pictures from her. I like to have an emotional attachment with her not one that relies on her sending me pictures of herself naked.

  • because he knows u and wants u

  • Cause pussy
