Do you feel like sending a nude?
The first question you have to ask yourself is:
do I want to?
If not, forget it. Nobody should force you to do anything. And if you've said 'yes, you can still stop at any time. Just because you've said you were going to do it doesn't mean you have to go through with it.
On the other hand, if you're comfortable with it, you can give it your all. But there is one crucial condition! The recipient must be willing. WE ONLY SEND NUDES IF THEY'RE REQUESTED.
Once you've made sure the recipient has consented and you're ready to take the plunge, there's one thing to remember: sending a nude can be risky.
The risk of revenge porn
In life, you never know what might happen. You can send a photo to someone you trust, right here, right now. But at any moment, your bond with that person can break. And then you don't know what they might do with their images... You could be a victim of revenge porn next.
In other words, at any time, the person holding the photos can threaten to put them on the Internet to blackmail you, or simply seek to humiliate you. Revenge porn is punishable by law. In the UK, the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 categorises revenge porn as a 'sexual offence' and if found guilty the punishment is up to two years in prison and a fine. In Scotland, the punishment goes up to five years in prison.
That's why we advise you not to show your face or any other recognizable sign in such images.
How to make nudes?
If you decide to take the plunge, here are a few tips to help you take the best photo possible.First of all, you can play with the light and the angle of the photo. Natural and simple pictures can be just as good as more elaborate images. You can also use a self-timer and/or a mirror to help you!
For a nude that raises the temperature, you don't have to be totally naked. Don't forget to leave things to imagination. It can be just as effective. And above all, don't over think it too much. Be comfortable with your body and enjoy yourself. Taking a nude should feel fun as well as but naughty!
