Sending nudes

[Jonas__]

Hey guys!
So, I'm 17 (8'2 when erect) and I'm pretty fit too, like I do P.E as one of my main subjects while playing basketball outside of school too. I was wondering what the general view on sending nudes to randoms was. I'm pretty confident with my body, so sending all of it is kind of like a self esteem sort of thing, idek. Should I be sending them?

[JamesCam]

I don't think u should just send them randomly .. And I know here it's illegal if ur under 18 . Even to people you know

[Abhorrence]

It's technically illegal to do so but many people do so anyway. I do not recommend you send them to random people online, you never know who you are really sending it to and it could end up being published publicly online which wouldn't be nice for you. Best thing to do is just not send pictures of yourself, honestly.

[Joerg93]

Just remember that everything you put on the internet will stay there forever and should always be considered being public.

So you should post nothing that you wouldn't also put in any other public place. At least, make sure that no one can recognize you on whatever you post...

[Atlantis]

aye, it's illegal. can get you on the sex offender's register if reported, or forwarded by who you send to. this can stop you getting into the US for example

Are you for real?
Sorry I'm not trying to be mean but this feels like a joke but I'll answer seriously anyway.
Dude DO NOT send nudes to anyone. Whether you know them or not. It's seriously the dumbest thing u can do. It could ruin your life. This boy at my school did it and the girl showed it to all her friends and it basically got sent to every kid in school then finally teachers saw it and the principal and then the boy's parents
That's a freaking nightmare. Don't u think?

[northy]

Never ever ever send nudes.
Like seriously, not even to gf/bf. People will keep them and use them revenge porn style on you. I know someone who sent a dick pic on snapchat and now everyone in the sixth form has seen it after they posted on the noticeboard.

[Bull]

I agree with northy: never, ever do sexting. I don't even post normal photos.

[football matt]

I've done it I don't think it's a big deal.

[mixed kid aaron]

honestly, you're a minor, so it's not illegal for you to send them. it's only illegal if the person you send them to posts them. at least in the U.S. but it sounds like you have nothing to be embaressed about. I'm not saying to send them. I'm saying do whatever you want

[Hermes]

I take it you don't intend to run for high political office then?

If you do the press and your opponents will be looking for "skeletons in your cupboard". If your pictures have been published on the internet they may well find them and, while you may not be embarrassed to appear nude on the front page, plenty of people will see that as reason not to vote for you. If they don't find any skeletons on their own your opponents and the press may well offer a bounty and one of the randoms may step forward.

Of course, not all employment has such superficial selection criteria but there are some lines of work or activities that would be closed to you if nude pictures of you were in the public domain. Some people, porn actors in particular, obviously make a choice but if you are going that route you may as well be paid for it.

Seriously, you need to think very carefully about this.

[Mikeymic]

As long as you are comfortable I guess, but just be safe

[TimMyself]

i think you should do what you want to, but be careful about sending them to random peeps

[Bluebyrd]

Don't send them to anyone, especially strangers. Those people could be paedophiles or anything!

[Gayjack20]

I sent nudes 2 ppl i know but thats it

[SillyShyGuy]

Please do not do it. Your photos can be hacked from the internet and posted online for everyone to see. It is a trap. Plus this is not puberty related, how is this allowed?

[JavierDolan]

I have no problem with it. I do it. But you should know that if you're caught with them, even if it's your own body you can go to jail for child pornography, just keep that in mind.

[nklarke]

No way a minor would go to jail for having naked photos of himself.

[redrider12]

Actually, you can. Even if it's yourself. And to the guy who claims it's not illegal because you're under 18, you're incorrect as well.
It's just a stupid thing to do, honestly. Especially around school where even the closest "secrets" can get let out all too easily. If the law doesn't stop you, just imagine a girl that you'll get feelings for next year getting a hold of them. Or imagine a teacher finding them or finding out. It doesn't matter who deleted what - as soon as proper authorities get involved, anything that's been digitally transmitted can and will be visible. That being said, many many people do it. I dare say it has a relatively low risk given its popularity. But you never know what the person on the other side will do with it. Be smart about it.

[Semi_IronMan]

I would never trust a person enough to let them see me naked

[Bull]

Semi_IronMan Letting someone see you naked in person and sexting are two entirely different events. I don't mind being seen naked in the locker room, but no way do I want a picture of me naked posted on any media!

Well, if look good and want to get complimented, there's nothing wrong with that!

I guess my post was a little vague, that's what I meant, if u see me naked it's completely fine but I wouldn't want a picture of me naked going around or something

I can't speak for all countries in the world but I suspect in many places the answer to whether you would be prosecuted or receive any significant penalty is "It depends on someone's discretion".

It might help to understand a little about English law which will apply to some extent to other systems derived from English law. First, courts hear cases and each case has two sides: someone who is complaining to the court about wrongdoing (the plaintiff) and someone defending himself against that accusation (the defendant).

In civil law, which deals mainly with contracts and business dealings, it is up to the victim, having been unable to settle his differences with the person he is accusing, to take that person to court called "suing him", i.e. complaining to the court that the other person's wrongdoing has caused him distress (such as losing him money) and asking the court to put the matter right.

By comparison criminal law is concerned with wrongdoing that affects people's lives in general. Criminal law sets out offences - acts that are generally unacceptable - and punishes those who perpetrate them to act as a deterrent and to create respect for the law. There is still a plaintiff and a defendant but the plaintiff is generally not the victim. In England the plaintiff is the Queen (or King); in other places it may be "the people" or "the state of wherever" but either way a public official has the job of deciding whether to bring the case to court in exactly the same way the person wronged in a civil case can choose whether to sue.

One of the things the public official concerned with consider is whether prosecution is "in the public interest". Where the accused has technically broken the law but most people would nevertheless consider he was behaving reasonably and therefore prosecuting would be more likely to lead the law being regarded as stupid rather than an effective deterrent prosecution would not be pursued.

A concrete example of this is age of consent laws. If the age of consent were 16 and a boy of 16 years 1 month had sex with his girlfriend who was 15 years 11 months this would technically be "statutory rape" but the public prosecutor may decide not to pursue it. Clearly this is not what the age of consent law is about - it's on the books to stop adults from having sex with children whom they claim consented but where the child did not understand enough to give informed consent or, because of the power dynamics, the child dare not refuse. As neither of these would apply in this case, and prosecuting would more likely lead to people calling the law "an ass" rather than respect it, the case would probably be dropped.

Having nude picture of yourself while you are under the age required to be the subject of indecent images could be another case in point.

None of this changes that you never know what the future holds and if you trust someone with naked pictures of you at some time in the future you may fall out and the pictures may end up on the internet where it may have repercussions.

[tovaris]

You shouldnt, in USA they will prosicute you for distributing child pornografy.

[JavierDolan]

It's happened before. Here's a recent case: http://hotair.com/archives/2015/09/04/nc-teen-facing-jail-for-having-naked-pics-of-himself/

[rioo]

I think its better for you to not sending nudes pic especially if u are under legal age. I know some of my friend who did it but I never involved with them. I have friend who post my nude from skinny dipping once on group chat , but I'm not underage and it's not a sex activity whatever.

[Zachary G]

depending on where youre from and who youre sending them to, it could be very illegal for you to be doing such a thing. I dont think its such a good idea to be sending randoms out there because you never know who might be seeing what youre sending. Being confident about your bod is cool, I am about mine, but to broadcast it to the world in such a way... mehh!!

[Harrier]

definitely don't do it to random people. If you want to send it to friends and you understand it's potentially illegal then go ahead. I haven't heard anyone getting in trouble for it when done right, but people from my school have gotten in trouble when they send it to the wrong people.

[Canadian Dream]

It's illegal when you're under 18, and even then it's not a good thing to do because you never know where on the internet it could end up. Where I live in Canada it's very badly viewed, at least at my school.

[Harrier]

Semi_IronMan Letting someone see you naked in person and sexting are two entirely different events. I don't mind being seen naked in the locker room, but no way do I want a picture of me naked posted on any media!

This is my feelings exactly. But if a girl ever sends me one I basically feel I need to send her one. But always without my face.

[Harrier]

Where I live in Canada it's very badly viewed, at least at my school.

I bet boys at your school don't view it badly if a girl sends them nudes lol

[Dalcourt]

if you are comfortable with it and don't mind that the person you send your nudes to will probably pass them on or post them somewhere go ahead. i would at least not show my face on the pics you send to a stranger.

[Remora]

there's always a risk, but if you're confident about yourself and it otherwise helps you develop self-esteem you could keep doing it! if it's just randoms, the odds of someone you know getting their hands on a picture are very, very small.

i'm not so much for sending nudes myself, or, well, anything sexual, really, but if you enjoy doing it you should definitely keep going on!

[mixed kid aaron]

he's actually right, I read wrong info. it's still illegal, even if you sent pictures of yourself. and then recieving them is also against the law. my bad :/

[Anon53]

I don't think sending them is the right thing to do. I know a bunch of kids in my school used Snapchat, and it got very bad. People got in trouble; they're lucky they didn't get in trouble with the law.

[vboy]

i would not recommend it, because it is illegal and u dont wanna b arrested haha

[Jameson9]

I wouldn't cause u don't know who is on the other side

[pconnor2001]

I think its a rel bad idea to send out naked pictures of your self. Plus if you are a minor it could be illegal.

Be careful dude!

[longman15251]

You shouldn't really send them - but it's up to you!

[RiHouse]

I do it. I think it's fine personally, even thought it technically is illegal.

[Jacob12]

Just be smart about what you do and who you send it too. Because they could use it against you and you dont know who they are gonna show

[SethfromMI]

I wouldn't do complete nudes. underwear or something like that is one thing (even then you still got to be super super careful). those things just have a way of coming out though and it could cause trouble down the road. plus, you never know who might end up with them, even if it is not the fault of the person you gave them too

[TeenPortland]

I've done it I don't think it's a big deal.

I really don't think full nudes are ok, but shirt off (for guy) is totally fine

[Falcons_11]

I wouldn't do it at all. Besides, it's illegal.

heresjohnny don't always believe everything you read on the interwebs lol

[Let Me Be a Pony]

This guy was telling me his experience - about a kid that angered him by saying that he ain't brave enough to show his D to him. So this guy got so fuckin' erect, man, then he sent the picture to the kid and the kid blocked his ass.
Then this guy messages me about this shit, whilst at the same time he's sending me a picture of his banana looking dick.
What the fuck? I ain't a chimpanzee, man.

[Chapperz16]

I would do nudes via something like snapchat cause apart from screenshots, its pretty fine. But still be aware that people can and will sometimes freeze the screen and use it against you in one way or the other.

[hesaidhesaid]

Not sure how this is puberty related...but I will answer this the same way I answer all these types of questions.

It's up to you.

I don't recommend or condone it at all but having said that, those who do it should and (I would say) most likely do know the consequences of doing such lurid acts. Be careful what you wish for.

[Hermes]

Beware of trusting either mobile phone apps, PC software or web pages that appear to, or purport to, stop people from capturing images.

As an example, an app that manages to enforce than on a normal phone may not be able to on a rooted Android phone or a jail-broken iPhone and you don't know if the person at the other end has a rooted phone or not.

Similarly you don't know what PC skills the person at the other end has. Let's suppose you've found some Windows software that prevents screen shots, Someone only has to run Windows inside a virtual machine (MS Hyper-V, VirttualBox etc.) and the host OS will be able to take screenshots of the guest OS window regardless of safeguards the program running on the guest tries to take.

At the end of the day it comes back to the previous discussion - you should not share anything which you wouldn't want to released to the public at large.

[Chapperz16]

Aye but sometimes if there is no face included in the pic then surely the low chances of a predator or someone who would expose you is not that big a risk.

[The captain]

I agree with northy: never, ever do sexting. I don't even post normal photos.

tottaly agree man

[Sickkboi]

If you wouldn't be naked in front of the person alone, then don't send the photo. Even if you would...don't send the photo. I think a better decision would be to show it in person if you are that desperate. DONT SEND!

[Ciel09x]

Ah, don't send them to random people. I'm not gonna tell you to stop or continue,
You can do it if you want. But with people I guess you can trust. Someone you know maybe, but not to random people especially
If you don't know them.

[West Coast Sheriff]

I do it. I think it's fine personally, even thought it technically is illegal.

I think it's really degrading. Especially if it's with girls, but even with guys it is degrading. It's sexual and sexual actions should only be with people you love. Nudes take away from the value of who you are and how you look by just sending them to anyone. Only people you love should see you naked and that should not be over the phone. It's not authentic in that case.

[shybi15]

Everytime you send a nued to anyone you dont really know, JUST KNOW that theres a chance it could end up ANYWHERE.
If youre willing to take that chance then go for it.

[Lachy]

Just be careful with sending nudes. Like don't send them to randoms lol. It can be taken as sexual harassment if it's not something they wish to see. Nudes are fun when sent consensualy between friends/partners, but still just be careful.

[Vermilion]

From a personal view point I think if you are 16 and over it should be fine. In the UK we can have sex from 16 but can't look at a photo of the person nude if under 18 to me that's stupid

[kungloket]

I wouldnt do it, but that's just how I roll

[danny87786]

hhaha oh wow you actually sound hot

[Meron]

I don't suggest sending them randomly to people, since they might take you as a "whore" or whatever familiar. Only send them to your partner if you want my advice.

[Hero.of.Hyrule]

Never ever ever ever ever ever send nudes. It has the ability to ruin your future! If you're going to do anything like that (which you shouldnt), save it for when you see them in person.

[Body odah Man]

Do it!!!!!!
