Celeb naked pic scandals seem to be popping up almost every week. So here in the Company office, we’ve been discussing - is it worth the risk for a bit of naughty fun?
This year already Rihanna, Amber Rose and Chris Brown have all had private pictures of themselves spread across the web. And with new pictures surfacing of Vanessa Hudgens last week, we’re thinking she may be regretting hitting send 6 years ago! Although it’s unlikely that celeb gossip blogs or the papers would be interested in pics of our nude bottoms, websites like Facebook and Twitter could just as easily be used by a bitter ex to embarrass us.
A recent survey conducted revealed that 36% of us are sending or posting nude images of ourselves to our guys. 72% send them to be 'fun or flirtatious', and 59% will send snaps as a sexy present for the boyfriend. For a lot of us, sexting can help the keep the relationship going, especially when it is long distance and you aren’t able to see each other as often as you would like to. And there are loads of couples who have sent pics to each other and made sure that they stayed private. But then 24% of young adult women said they have had nude - or semi nude images - originally meant for someone else - shared with them!
A good friend went through an awful time last year after her ex - after two years together he now was threatening to put pics he had of her on Facebook after she dumped him! Suddenly something that was sent at a good time in their relationship as a bit of playful fun was being used to blackmail her. Lucky for her, after a lot of pleading he agreed to delete them. Another mate found out that her boyfriend was actually bragging to his friends by showing intimate pictures and videos of the two of them to anyone who would look. She was so upset when she realised friends and even some strangers had seen such intimate images, that the relationship broke down and she’s found it hard to trust people since.
So how can we be sure that we are right to trust our partners with such personal images? Maybe we should take inspiration from Hilary Duff. She has admitted that she sends her husband, Ice Hockey star Mike Comrie, a few cheeky pics to keep their love life fun when he’s on the road. But here’s the thing, all pics she sends are from the neck down. For her, that means if the pics ever manage to get leaked, there is no way people can be 100% sure if it’s really her or not!
At the end of the day, every relationship is different and if you trust them enough then you should be free to do whatever you want. But if you’re not completely sure then just play it safe and don't press send, he'll just have to wait until he sees the real thing! What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below and tell us if you’ve ever sent a sexy pic....
