Why do people feel pressured to send nudes?

[fairmaiden]

so recently, I read in the news that there were a few girls from a certain school who were pressured into sending nudes to some boys from another school. My question is; why? I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but if someone you don't really know is asking you for nudes, regardless of who it is, I'd say no.

Hm.... I don't know. I can see a few possibilities here, actually. Maybe they feel pressured because its the cool thing to do or they want to be accepted by others. They also could feel pressured because the guys could claim to have some dirt on them and guilt them into doing it? You know, some guys do do that and it's fucking disgusting. Or they could have sent nudes to guys to the other school, regretted it, and said they felt pressured to do it. until I can get more info, words from both sides of the story, I can't really say what it was. But all the options I have provided all have good chances, so. I don't know yet.

Me being the paranoid as fuck kind of guy wouldn't do that or accept nudes from girls I know are underage or it's obvious they're underage. Here I'd get labelled a sex offender and pretty much have no future. Also it's incommon here for teens to send nudes, especially girls.

[Babs]

Manipulative partners is the most common form of pressure, I think.

[BabyGMarie]

They might think they'll get judged

[CosmicNoodle]

Because society sucks dick, and people feel to much social pressure to be the sort of person that society and other people insist upon.

[James Dean]

Some of the guys could have been the jocks or whatever the popular guys and girls as we all know fall under the charms and become hypnotized by them, they were coerced into doing it. It's sad and the only way to prevent this is for these girls to understand that body image and reputation at school aren't everything. The same rules apply to the other side. Guys are tricked by girls, or someone who could just be a guy using a girl for his profile or whatever. Very depressing and sad. Cyber bullying is a big issue and this is one of the causes of it.

Alot arent pressured into it alot of them send them because they want to and send pics willy nilly and/or there sluts.

[Meh Guy]

They feel as if they have some obligation to sate the insatiable sex drive of certain people. These people usually have huge egos and will often threaten, beg, plead and anything else to get them. Plus, we as human beings naturally don't like conflict. Saying no is inviting unwanted conflict.

Paranoia, maybe. However, you being 16, at least in North America, are allowed to receive and send sexually explicit photos from/to a consensual partner within 5 years of your age, as Defined under the law. That plus, police and international crime fighters have just a "few" more important things to do then go after a bunch of teenagers sexting. Despite what the media will have you believe.

Also, people do all kinds of questionable things - such as send nudes, have sex, sext or cyber with others, etc... - as a way to try and become popular or even accepted by their peers. Social circles and cliques are often hard to break into (if someone is desperate for friends or attention), and the pressure or want for acceptance may cause someone to do things they may not normally do as part of their character.

Unless it was my partner or something like that.

like others have said they could have thought it was their ticket to be more popular

OR

they were just giant sluts and didnt want to be responsible for their actions so they said they were pressured into it :lol:

[the main man]

They think "Well oh… i guess sense they sent me some i have to or it will be weird." Stupid people.

It is stupid when you think about it but it's their actions that are stupid, not the actual person. It's just unfortunate that some people are more easily pressured to do things or are vulnerable and want to be accepted and have their body approved of.

i didn't mean it in a mean way i agree that its not only stupid people that do it too.

[Saint of Sinners]

Honestly I have no idea. I wouldn't agree to send nudes to anyone except my significant other. Like the danger outweighs the benefits if it isn't somebody you trust.

America is so retarded that if I was to take a picture of my own nude 13yo body i would be arrested for producing child porn.

Anyway to get to the OP's topic....I can't believe that girls are stupid enough to be "pressured" by boys. Just tell them to F*** off. We had an school assembly about the dangers of sexting but yet girls still do it.

[Mob Boss]

I don't pity these girls. Unless they are predatory old men that fed them bullshit about how they were a terminally ill child and wanted to see boobs before dying and the Make A Wish Foundation just could not perform that wish or they threatened them on the other line, I don't pity them for a second. No one held a gun to their head to take nudes of themselves. And these boys. Yeah, they might be the biggest freaking d-bags on planet Earth, like the size that would suffice for a female whale. Are they pressuring them or is it the girls and their desperation to keep these boys on the hook? These are the same girls that likely won't do chores when their parents pressure them to, but a prepubescent boy and his 80's pornstar peach fuzz mustache can? I call bs. Both parties are to blame, but this not a "woman is the victim" scenario. We can make it out to that, but it isn't. The feminist might just eat my organs now or sell them in the organ black-market but I don't subscribe to the ideation that women are such fragile things and men can easily sway us. Uh fuck that. If a dude asked me for nudes, you can bet your ass I'd send him pictures of wrinkly old lady boobs.

[Alex_53]

Personally I don't know what that's like (I'm a dude).

I've never asked a girl for nudes and I don't really plan to.

Girls seek attention from guys but not the sort of attention that reveals their naked bodies. Guys can just be pervs sometimes.
I've heard that some girls also seek approval so maybe they send nudes so they can be considered beautiful by their peers? I'm unsure.

sorry, but the usa is not as liberal or forgiving as canada. a teen taking pictures of him/herself can be jailed in the usa and required to register as a sex offender for 5 - 10 years

Your laws in the state you live in may be different, but most of the USA has the same laws as Canada. Where you may be mistaking the law is when teens actually save the photos. Technically, under the law, having pictures of people under 18 is considered trafficking child porn. So if you save the pics then you can run into trouble.

[SethfromMI]

I don't know but people shouldnt do what they dont want to do

[NilnocK]

I think a lot of the time it is because of a few things. They want attention, or they want to feel validated by the guys saying they're hot, or they feel pressured thinking that everyone is doing it.

[That's the Spirit]

Probably the thrill people have when sending them. Kinda link smoking/drinking underage, it's rebelling and makes them seem cool.

[Uranus]

I don't believe anyone should sext, if they don't want to. We can't stop people from doing it, but we shouldn't make them.

[matt_tgr]

Good question! No idea, really. If somebody I don't know asks me that, I just no, the end. Continue asking every single day - I'll just block you, and that'd be the end of it
