There have been many stories lately about 'celebrities' who have had nude pictures of themselves hacked from their' icloud' accounts. They must know that this could happen . I agree that these accounts are private but these days very little is totally secure so why take the chance if you don't want them spread around. Why do they need to take these photo's anyway ? If they want to look at their own bodies then use a mirror and if they are for a loved one then surely they would rather look at the real thing.

Have you never let your old man take a picture of you in the nuddy?! (in the very best of taste of course)

Teetime Fri 10-Oct-14 09:33:41

NO NO NO!!!! and thankfully he has never suggested it. I'm not against it you understand I just don't have the kind of body that bears close scrutiny let alone a photograph.

I'm with Teetime - not about her body, but mine grin Can we see them jings sunshine

We had a burgulary and I was most terrified that the photos would be gone. It turned out they were still in the drawer.

After that I cut 'em into tiny shreds and binned them. Wasn't taking any more chances!

I agree with you ginny, I just don't get it at all. I had one boyfriend who sent me a photo of him in the nude and, tbh, I laughed at it.

If people want to send/take photos of each other in the nude, that's their choice but just don't whine about it if those photos enter the public arena.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 10-Oct-14 09:55:22

Eurgh! I never took any pictures of him!

Teetime Fri 10-Oct-14 11:04:29

Ah now of the two of us Mr Teetime does have a photographic body. he has lovely &&&&&& and two of the most gorgeous **** and if you could see his $$$$$$$$$- well perhaps that's too much information.

I don't like having my photo taken fully clothed, never mind naked!!

I think if a picture of me naked ever got onto the internet - the hardware that runs the internet would develop AI and commit suicide, plus anyone who saw it would look directly at the sun so they wouldn't have to see it again!!

sunseeker grin grin
No such pictures of me in existence as my beloved has ready access to the real thing (and none of him either, for the same reason). grin

Me, never, no way !!!

I would have liked one of DH about 30yrs ago when he was a fit rugby player. I'm not sure if it's his &&& or his * or maybe $$$$$ but I'm sure there are areas DH would compare favourably with Mr Teetime

I have never had a naked photograph taken of me, nor have i ever wished to photograph MrI, or any other lover.

I've wondered if I'm a prude, but decided I don't care if I am. The North American Indians had it right, having your photograph taken can allow the photographer to steal your soul. Choose your photographer with great care.

Nor me - I was offered one by a boyfriend many years ago and ditched him before he thought about asking me for one. What is WRONG with these people? Selfies, nude photos, videos of themselves having sex........no thanks!

rubysong Fri 10-Oct-14 13:25:33

Teetime and Nina I am pleased your DHs both have such healthy American bank accounts! Hopefully they both also have magnificent £££££££.

rubysong Fri 10-Oct-14 13:33:07

Many years ago, when DH was going to be away at sea for his birthday, I secretly had some very tasteful photos taken of me in very tasteful lingerie. I packed them up, along with other gifts and a cake, when he sailed several weeks before his birthday. How was I supposed to know the rest of the officers would put on a special birthday breakfast for him and those parcels would be opened in full view of everyone! (Did I mention they were very tasteful, though a little bit saucy.) I wish I still looked like that. blush

Teetime Fri 10-Oct-14 16:18:10

Sadly Mr Teetime's £££££ leave a lot to be desired but he does have a magnificent %%%%. smile

Galen Fri 10-Oct-14 16:51:12

But how are his +++++?

HollyDaze Fri 10-Oct-14 17:03:36

I wish I still looked like that.

Don't we all grin

Well, this is one thread MNs shouldn't be allowed to see!! blush

These days it's an insane thing to do [send nuddy pics], .... wait a minute, it's an insane thing to do anyway!

Deedaa Fri 10-Oct-14 21:22:34

I can't understand this trend at all. Why would anyone want intimate photos of their partner? Surely they know what they look like? Even in pre internet days it seemed a bad idea. Actual photographs could get lost or stolen or found by the children. Why would you risk it?

Ana Fri 10-Oct-14 21:50:25

And as for posting pics of willies online...that's the male ego for you! grin

absent Sat 11-Oct-14 02:03:02

I agree. Most people don't have the bodies or the photographic skill for nude photography and, in this electronic age, it's a pretty risky exercise anyway. But I did laugh at Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon discussing the rock cock collection in the Banger Sisters.

Too late shock !!! shock !!! shock !!!

There was a lot to be said in favour of the Polaroid. That's all I'm saying. And I'm so pleased I did all my dating before mobile phones were so ubiquitous grin
