If you are considering sending nudes to someone, there are a few important questions you should ask yourself. The consequences for sending nudes can be severe and, in some cases, even life-changing. It is not just the person receiving your nudes that can be penalized for illegal activities.

1. Do I trust this person, or is this a trust test?

Remember, once you send nude photos of yourself, the recipient can do whatever they want with it. If you don’t really trust the person yet, reconsider sending nudes.

At the minimum, consider sending suggestive photos instead that don’t fully show your body and face. Sending to test your partner’s trustworthiness deliberately might not go the way you want it to go.

2. Do I want to show, or am I seeking validation?

Sharing nudes with a partner can be incredibly sexy…if that’s your actual intention. On the other hand, sending nudes with the attention of receiving validation could lead to hurt feelings if your partner doesn’t respond the way to want them to.
