Opinion on sending explicit

[Hufflepufflife]

What is everyone's opinion on people sending explicit photos to other people? I don't always think it is a good idea, but being that people can have sex legally with each other at fourteen-sixteen, but can't send a nude photo at eighteen.

Just a discussion.

[BlackParadePixie]

never done it, don't ever plan on it.

[zzzzzzzzzz]

Once a pic is out, it out, be carful what is sent

[Falcons_11]

never done it, don't ever plan on it.

I agree with Fiona. It's a bad idea and illegal. It's child porn.

[german_boy]

I'd be really careful with it, especially if you don't know the person. If you do, those images can be used to blackmail you. It's not a good idea at all. If you do it with your partner and trust her/him, it's fine, morally. Nevertheless, should always bear in mind that the person might share it one day.

Legally, it depends on the laws of your country. In Germany, it is technically illegal because of child (under 14) or youth (14-17) pornography. The law differs between those two types.
Even though it might be illegal, sending your own pictures to your partner or a close friend won't get you into jail, because the age of responsibility in Germany is 14, if you are 13 or under; and due to the law being constructed teleologically. Another aspect is the rule "Ubi non accusator ibi non iudex." Nobody will appeal to court because you have sent pictures to your partner. Moreover, the attorney will close the proceedings, probably.

[everlong]

If that's something someone wants to do, I say go for it. Just be cautious, once that picture is sent, you can't take it back for good. If you really want to do that kind of stuff, just know the retributions it can cause.

[ska8er]

Teens do send pics but even if its between
someone who is the same age the pics could
fall into the hands of someone who is an adult
and then it would b considered porn. I would
not do it.

[army martin]

I've done it a few times but you gotta be super careful.

[Anniebanannie]

As a general rule, I'd say it's not a good idea. It might be different for an individual case, though.

[Barbara.]

It's never going to happen with me. Not a good idea unless you want your pics to be seen around the world by internet.

[Bull]

Don't

[pageninetynine]

I mean I think it's a bad idea because odds are, you'll regret it. The circumstances that enabled you to feel safe and comfortable are probably not going to last forever, and then when they do end you'll have a lot to worry about. Preventing that is easy, keeping your pants on for photos.

[Harrier]

The OP mentioned 18, so idk if he is talking adults, or about in general for everybody, or minors. But I think the biggest thing is trust. I don't trust anyone enough to send a full body shot and include my face. GF included except recently I have made exceptions lol. But I guess for the longest time I didn't even trust her. I think if we break up it won't be a bad breakup, not bad enough for her to black mail me at least. But ya like the OP said if kids are gonna have sex then really imo sending a dick pic or a tit pic isn't that bad .... JUST don't do it to random people and include your face!!!!

[Bontigo Papi .]

I did , once , and that was with the girl I have a relationship with , we had a few ups and downs but I know she's really into me , and I'm into her . We kinda have a sexual relationship , that's why I did it . Don't regret it honestly , I trust her .

[SethfromMI]

I would recommend against it. even if your sending it to someone who you can trust, things have a way of still getting out. whatever pic you send, ask yourself if you would be ok with other people seeing it.

[redrider12]

I would recommend against it.
That being said, I'm going to admit that I'm a hypocrite. I'm 18, so there's no law against it assuming the receiving end is also 18. I do it with most of the girls that I've hooked up with.

[rioo]

maybe depend on situation, if u trust them then its alright or the pic itselft is not actually sexual pic.
There is one time my friend send my nude pic on our group chat, but that picture is taken from skinny dip together with my friend, so its not sexual pic.

[kev1998]

I'm guilty of sending those pics. I know it is not the best idea but sometime horniness overtakes reasoning.

[kyrocks03]

It's amazing how almost on a daily basis at school that some boy opens up his phone and shows all his friends a picture of some girl naked. Just saying that this isn't the brightest idea in the world!

[Hermes]

On the question of age, there will be an age up to which someone is considered a child rather than an adult and "creating an indecent image of a child" is illegal in most jurisdictions. The exact age in question will vary from one place to another but I would expect that in most jurisdictions the fact the picture is a "selfie" does not change anything. That would actually mean taking indecent pictures (or video) of yourself would be illegal before you have even sent them to anyone.

Assuming you are old enough. the next problem is that once you have send a picture out there is no controlling where it will end up. Revenge porn made the news a little while back. Typically this happens when two people are in a relationship and as part of that send nude photos to one another, possibly at a time when they would liked to have been together but couldn't be. Some time later there is an acrimonious breakup and one partner starts sharing nude photos of the ex in order to get revenge by embarrassment. This just shows things change and someone you once trusted can turn on you and once a picture is forwarded on, you can't get it back. You can ask people to delete it but did they also forward it first? Is it doing the rounds in the next town or even in China?

So your ex. shows some pictures to friends and it is a bit embarrassing for a few days but blows over. The problem is solved, right? Not necessarily. Maybe you decide to run for political office, even just at a local level, and the press try to dig up the dirt on you? Or you go for a job that requires government security clearance; one of the things they are checking is whether you could be held to ransom so you can't afford any skeletons in the cupboard. Sometimes regular employers, especially in the USA, make enquiries into people private lives well beyond anything justified for the needs of the job.

If despite all this you do share pics then obviously you can limit potential damage by making sure if it cannot be identified as a picture of you. So no face, no certificate in the background with your name on, no GPS tags etc.

[Vegas2933]

What about police intervention? Would they ever find out unless someone actually shows them?

[Hufflepufflife]

Thanks for all the answers, but what I was asking is what are people's opinions on it being legal for children who are 16 (14 in some places) to have sex, to actually have sex, but not for them to send a naked photo.

[pjones]

i have not and will not do this. it's not safe and potentially illegal. imagine sending a nude of yourself and someone tells you they saw it on the internet even though you thought the person you sent it to was "safe". too many hackers out there too that can find stuff.

[Hermes]

Thanks for all the answers, but what I was asking is what are people's opinions on it being legal for children who are 16 (14 in some places) to have sex, to actually have sex, but not for them to send a naked photo.

I think it comes as the consequence of legislation enacted for other purposes.

The obvious intention of making the creating of incecent images of children illegal is to protect children from exploitation by adults and this legislation will have been in force in most jurisictions for quite some time, long before the age of the Internet and mobile phone. Lawyers probably would not have thought that children would sometimes be those taking the pictures, least of all of themselves, and as viewing pornography is restricted by law to those over 18 that means there would be no legal reason to make an exception for cases where the intended viewer (e.g. a sexual partner) is also under 18.

The reason for 16 being the age of consent for sex is also probably historic and maybe even comes from an era when contraception was not as reliable/readily available as it is now. At that time many people would leave school and start work at 16 and might therefore expect to marry (also permitted at 16), set up home and start a family. That would be hard to do if they were not permitted to have sex. Lawyers may have taken the view that those still in education would need to be protected from getting pregnant before having the means to support the child and chose to do that by attempting to restrict sex to those over 16.

On a purely practical level I think it is also fair to say you have more control over the long term consequences of having sex than you do of sending naked pictures of yourself. As I mentioned earlier you can't control where the pictures end up whereas you can choose to wear a condom.

[mayrender]

I have sent pictures, but only to girls I trust and don't know too personally. I sent a few to a girl I was having a relationship with but things fell apart a few months later. We both did something wrong to each other but she was more angry at me. When this happened i had forgotten about the nude pics. I was scared for a month or two, that she would send them around to people out of anger. But as far as I know - thankfully, she hasn't, and I am grateful for it.

This is one of the dangers of sending nude pictures, even if it's to a girlfriend, if you piss her off and it's your fault - or if she blames it on you; then you may have a slight issue.

When I did send nudes or whenever I did I made sure that there's no way to link myself and the photo together, such as not having unique features (like tattoos) or showing your face.

I do not recommend sending nude photos of yourself unless you know and trust the person very well, OR you can do what I did 5 years ago and send nudes thinking everything will be okay since there are already 10 million+ nude photos on the internet and that nobody you know will see you.

[bonbon]

Just no. I think it is a very bad idea, and I don't want to do that.

[ska8er]

Where is it legal at age 14 to have sex? :what::confused:

[pconnor]

I don't think it is a wise thing to do.

[Dalcourt]

It's one thing to have sex with someone but sending explicit pics? I mean you don't know what's happening with those pics once you sent them. If the person you send them to shares those pics?
So even as an adult or if it was totally legal I wouldn't send such pics to anyone. This could just cause way too much trouble imo.

[Uniquemind]

Yeah, nope I'm pretty much not into this at all for myself.

Although I do feel the peer pressure at times.

Although I do know that millions of people of many age groups have utilized snapchat for this purpose.

[Hermes]

See this map of the world from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#/media/File:Age_of_Consent_-_Global.svg) and also the article that includes it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent).

That map is wrong. In Spain the legal age for sexual consent is 13 not 16. And that doesn't mean you can't do something sexual if both are under that age.

[ska8er]

Some teens r going to have sex whether it is legal
or not within their age group-there is only a prob when
an adult comes into the arrangement or agreement that
it is illegal. Since the legal age of 14-16 is basically in the
Asian and South American countries seems like that is their
way of life-other parts of the world it is not. It is still illegal
to send nude photos. An opinion would b that if they want to
do it in their countries they can-here they cant only because
they may fall into the wrong hands. IF teens want to send pics
and have sex they will do it and its at their own risk. Some of us
will say its ok and others will say it is not.

[tyguy359]

i've considered it, but i know things on the internet tend to be permanent...

[Emilyyy]

I would like to do it one day but it's super risky so idk!

[kyle_01]

Just don't do it. Most people do it because they like someone, the attention or because they want people to find them cool. They think "Oh he/she isn't like the others, i can trust him/her". But everyone, can do something dark like sending your nudes to the rest of the world to show off or because they are mad at you. It's up to you but be aware of the consequences.

[Samosa]

I agree with most of you. No way would i send selfies to ppl. friend or no friend. once a pic is taken most phones save them to your google account. so if anyone hacks your email account they can find all your nude pics even if you never sent them.

[DocMcLovins]

Wtf! Idk that!!! Omg. That changes things.

[damon_fl]

kyrocks is rigt, every day at school boys r sharing these pics. maybe girls too.
ive done it but not anymore n i dont let my lil bro do it.

[DocMcLovins]

Ya sum guys do. I won't show my friends pics of girls who show faces. That's effed up. Sometimes when I show pics of girls without faces my friends can guess what girl it is but I usually don't tell them if it is or not.

[lettucesleep]

i think that its something extremely risky to do especially now because everything is so connected

[MaeFae]

I have but I think I have to really trust the person first. I feel like it's just becoming more commonplace for people to share pictures that were sent in private, you know?

[pconnor]

Bad idea to send out nude pictures.

[refrigeratorx]

I do but only over something like snapchat , with someone you trust, and generally not with face and naughty stuff in the same picture. But it's fun!!

[Tobyisnotdead]

Don't send anything that the receiver hasn't seen in person. Personally, I just think you should cut the middle man and just become a more sexual being to your partner. Takes away the need for digital nudes when you see how great it is in person, and there's no risk of your abnormally tiny dick being leaked.

that's what I say! don't send anything you wouldn't want anybody else seeing.

[sara___]

Exactly!!

[Dmaxd123]

I think as long as it's 2 people over the age of 18, why not? don't show faces, and use something like snapchat so it's gone in a hurry... also if you're using snapchat/kik/??? (kik & others don't automatically go away in a few seconds) don't use your real name just in case it does fall into the wrong hands

but i'm a bit of an exhibitionist to i enjoy others seeing my body and it turns me on

[biancas]

i only did a nude photo of myself for a celebrity that i like and sent to him in the mail, not on the internet.

[pjones]

no offense but that really isn't smart to mail underage nudes, you could really get in trouble

[scott2002]

Many times guys have sent on to me explicit pics of girls that either the girls had sent directly to them, or they're re-sending pics they've received from others. If it's supposedly a girl in our school or someone we know, their name gets included too. So that should tell you that it is a BAD IDEA to EVER take and send ANYONE an explicit picture of yourself.

I delete them right away cuz I've heard just having them on your phone could get you arrested for "possession of child pornography" and then labeled a sex offender. Not a good idea!!

[lori99]

I have but I think I have to really trust the person first. I feel like it's just becoming more commonplace for people to share pictures that were sent in private, you know?

I totally agree! I have only sent 4-5 but you're right:)

[biancas]

no offense but that really isn't smart to mail underage nudes, you could really get in trouble

i just wanted him to like me or maybe be my bf :)

[lori99]

i just wanted him to like me or maybe be my bf :)

Did he reply anything:)

[eric2001]

I did it on a dare and then thought it wasn't so smart. A week later a girl that I don't even know texted me a weird message.

[Harrier]

i only did a nude photo of myself for a celebrity that i like and sent to him in the mail, not on the internet.

Who was it?

i just wanted him to like me or maybe be my bf :)

Do you really think he would stop what he was doing and fly to you and start dating?

And like others have said, what you did was illegal. I have done it to so I'm sorta being a hypocrite but I assume he was over 18? That would be VERY illegal for him to have (and you to send him).

[pconnor]

Bad idea to send those type of pictures.

[angelina]

not a good idea...sure it will land you in trouble

[biancas]

Did he reply anything:)
yup he signed my nightie that i sent :yummy:

i'm not allowed to say his name i think.
he's just very warm and would make a perfect boyfriend, not like the other celebrities.
but i don't think he will choose me now, but i thought it last year.

[lok444]

I've done it before but only after talking with someone for a while.

[Jake_Smith]

I don't think its a good idea. especially to people you dont know in person.

[TWDjacob]

if you do send them my advise is don't show your face and make it so if someone you know sees it if it does get out, they won't know its you.

[MaeFae]

if you do send them my advise is don't show your face and make it so if someone you know sees it if it does get out, they won't know its you.

same goes for things in the background. Try not to leave anything there that would make it obvious it's you.

[biancas]

yeah or your birth mark

[LITTLEANGEL19]

Totally a very bad idea, Its some I would NEVER do at any age.
And well done everyone that thinks its a bad idea.
X

[lori99]

Well it's the person's decision and she has to deal with the consequences

[LITTLEANGEL19]

Yes Lori that's the problem having to deal with the consequences that can stay with you for ever.
X

[lori99]

But I accept the possble consequences when I do it, I am fully aware of them

[biancas]

but if you send it to a celebrity i don't think they'd show the world or anything.
i'd be more scared to send it to a friend at school lol

[Dmaxd123]

maybe i'm odd, but i'm more of the theory of no face, no real names, and don't sent it to anyone in the same town/school/area

if a girl from 100+ miles away and I trade naughty pics/videos... i don't have anyone to show that will know her she has no one to share with that will know me so makes me feel more comfortable and I at least feel it reduces some of the risks

[veroda]

I used to webcam a bit but cops came to our school and told us stories of girls my age who got recorded and everyone in their hometown ended up having seen them and such and it totally freaked me out

[Katie96xox]

Sexting can be lots of fun but you have to be very careful of who you send photos to, especially if you're under age. As others have said, it's safer if you photograph yourself from the neck downwards or just a close up of your penis/vagina/breasts. I personally don't sext someone until I get to know them and I trust them and even then I usually just send an upskirt pic or something. I very rarely include my face in pictures, only when I've known someone for a long time and I more than trust them not to spread the picture. So have fun with sexting, just be smart about it.

[Mrstealyourgirl11]

u can do it but do not put your face in the pic

[biancas]

my bf doesn't stext but he sends compliments about me that i would be scared if my dad saw.

[Mrstealyourgirl11]

lol hide them

[nnoooooooopppeee]

I send nudes of myself a lot! I'm not recommending anyone does, though, as it can get you get you into trouble. I guess it's just a decision that most teens make for themselves. I think the law (in the UK) is incredibly unreasonable though: you can have sex at 16 but not send nudes till you're 18.

[biancas]

lol hide them

i have so far :)
dad deleted my email account cos of boy emails.

[Deivis]

For what ? Never did that and never doing when pic is out its out for long time

[biancas]

well if you put a blindfold on nobody can see your eyes and so nobody will know its your nude pic i guess.

[zzzzzzzzzz]

i have so far :)
dad deleted my email account cos of boy emails.

Is it a shared computer you use. You could create a new one. Does he know you are on this site?

[biancas]

Is it a shared computer you use. You could create a new one. Does he know you are on this site?

yup its shared computer , i forgot to logout of email and he saw :whoops:
but i don't think he knows which sites i use :)

[Vicboy2707]

I do it all the time

[Jamesk0050]

Not the best idea, however that said it should not be illegal for kids sending pics to each other if they are within a certain age range of each other like 4 years. It i no different than being in person and playing show and tell and showing each other your junk which is legal so why should the sending of the pics be illegal if in person it is not. Lastly it is not right labeling for life some of these kids sexual offenders just for sending a pic to a best freind and that is where the law is screwed up. Two 14 year olds sending a nude pic to each other should not get them labeled as sex offenders for life as some states are doing.

that sounds dangerous cos my bf could be a sex offender he took a photo of under my school dress. but i don't think anyone will ever know he has that photo so i guess he's safe :)

[ChloeF]

I know how much strife l might end up in and not just from the cops either, so no, not something l'd do.
If you wanna see me naked, ask me face to face.

[loki2000]

I NEVER send any pictures... I dont trust any one what there going to do with them...

[IzzyB]

yeah sending pics or doing video is bad idea...just no idea what could happen out there!

i wish it was safe :(
i want to do a tit or bum pic, its fun to be sexy :)

I know... two years ago I did webcam a bit and such and my skype and fb accounts were deleted as I was 11 and you had to be 14 to have one... I never had any other problems than that... now with the campaing and such I heard that some girls got recorded and they went through a nightmare

Im not such I would webcam again knowing that... but its really fun..

[Trivium]

I like sending a pic. It gets me really tuned on for some reason

my bf took a picture with his phone of my undies cos we were on the oval and nobody was near us :) i can see why some people do stripping as an occupation, it feels exciting to be bad lol

I like sending a pic. It gets me really tuned on for some reason
must be exciting being a model :)

[clobo]

Not sure why people want to send nude pics, maybe I'm too young to understand. Maybe to a boyfriend when a lot older but then again probably not.

[Jake111]

I like sending a pic. It gets me really tuned on for some reason

Yeah I agree, I love sending them there's something about it that gets me very turned on, more so with guys than girls as well

[Hufflepufflife]

In the USA it varies by state. In Germany it is 14, UK 16...

[Hufflepufflife]

That's actually a potential world of trouble. I can only hope you didn't have a return address on the letter.

[biancas]

my bf send me a picture of his penis with sperm just today but i'm not showing anyone.

[Zachary G]

I'm guilty of sending those pics. I know it is not the best idea but sometime horniness overtakes reasoning.

Yeah, I have to agree with this one. Ive done it too and it was done in the heat of the moment - I was thinking with the wrong head at the time.

[bigwolf2]

Not sure why people want to send nude pics, maybe I'm too young to understand. Maybe to a boyfriend when a lot older but then again probably not.

This does get guys and gals turned on. At least, normally.

[messid]

Ive never done it and I dont think I ever will. Sounds risky to me
Once it's out there it's out there forever, you never know who to trust

[The1uwant]

my bf send me a picture of his penis with sperm just today but i'm not showing anyone.

don't feel as if you need to send anything in return

[Alan T]

Never a good idea.

[biancas]

don't feel as if you need to send anything in return

i did not but he took a picture of up my schooldress so kind of.

[Nelli]

Picture without face could be acceptable sometimes...

[Ojcc02]

I sent some pics when I turned 14. Never had any trouble 😂

[Coolteenboy]

Easy answer.
D O N ' T!!!!!!

[JamesCam]

Sure I've done it and I know it's prob not the best idea. A lot of people at school send them on snapchat and a few have got in shit for it.
I guess like lots of things if you're gonna do it accept that everything you do has potential consequences
