I wouldn't necessarily call it a "good idea" per se but i wouldn't say it's a bad idea either. In my experience taking nudie pics for my bf was a great way for me to give him something to keep him busy while i'm away lol and for me it's also a confidence/self-security booster because even when I was single I would take pics of myself just to see how exercise was changing my body.

I let my bf snap some pics of me...and I see no harm in it as long as your careful! My bf has none of the pictures, he only sees them sometimes, but like AlecksNWonderland said it is a security booster seeing your hot nakie bod!

It all just depends, is the voyeur in you louder than that Doris Day “good angel” on your right shoulder? I can understand the excitement in taking photos…the naughtiness of it all, but part of the excitement does come from that small voice whispering, “what if someone finds this?” I personally would never take naughty pictures of myself…I know what my body looks like and I love it, but I’d rather my partner spend all day working himself into a tizzy trying to remember what I wore to bed last night than handing him a picture and telling him to go ape with it. Video, pictures, little mementos of what I look like au natural are fabulous, but why give in to temptation when you can have the real thing? Besides, isn’t there something to be said for letting the excitement build?

meh, i think if you get some of each other. you'll both be screwed probably. although that might just boost his ego. lol...

Well it's not really an issue if you're not a celeb and you don't have enemies with keys to your home, like me!

I have heard waaaaaaaayyyyyy too many stories of naked pictures ending up in places they shouldnt be. You may trust and love your boyfriend now, but you never know what may happen after a bad break up!!!

I agree with PinkPanda106

Totally agree with pinkpanda. As secure as you think it is now, you never know what will happen to those years from now if things change.

If you are famous or have a certain job that expects things of you and reputation will be seriously comprised, then no, but for everyone else, yes!

In response to PinkPanda, sure sometimes it so happens that revealing pictures get leaked because of a relationship gone bad. Here's what I have to say about that situation. Take the pictures yourself on your OWN camera, do not distribute it via the internet, and make sure you are the only one with any copies. I know I took some pictures, showed them to the boyfriend and then that was it. I made sure at the end of the day it was only me with any copies of it and fortunately theres never been a crazy incident of leaked photos..atleast I hope not...

That's the stupidest thing ever. Unless your bf or partner is some sicko freak. Besides that... there is always a chance it will get into the wrong hands.

not that i don't trust my boyfriend and that i think we're going to break up...it's just that there's still that freak chance of having the pictures get leaked.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it...as long as you DON'T have your face in the pictures.

Bad idea because the couple cuold break up and the bitter ex could put that all over the web.

I dated a guy in high school that wanted to take some scandalous pictures of me before I went out of state for awhile. I was only 17 and I knew it would be incredibly stupid and said no. He tried to bargain with me- saying I could go topless but cover my boobs by crossing my arms or something but I still said no. Its not that I think he would ever have posted them or shown them to anyone (Im 26 and I still dont think he would- and this was YEARS ago and we have been broken up for a long time) but hes had shady roommates and I wouldnt have put it past THEM to find them and copy/post them somewhere. Not to mention the fact that Im married now and I would have a hard time thinking that Im a married woman and there might be naked pictures of me floating around somewhere.

I think naked people look funny. Divorced from context, I think they just look stupid, and it makes me kind of uncomfortable. The prospect of naked pictures of myself or my partner just doesn't appeal to me.

Really bad idea....and i would never let that happen.It's not the smartest choice to have any nude photos taken for obvious reasons.

Bad idea. Even if you're in a committed relationship or are married, what if someone accidentally comes across them?

But you know what I want to know? Whatever happened to those nude photographs Herb Ritts did of J.Lo for Ben? Did they burn them and the negatives?

NEVER EVER DO THIS!

Bad idea, you may not think theres much of a risk now, but you never know how your life will change. Besides I have to agree with ClassicsDiva, naked people do look funny:-)

I had some slightly compromising photos with a former BF, but I demanded the camera when the roll was full, had them developed myself and kept all the pics and negatives and burned the ones that can never, never ever come to light.

I have the pictures, the only print, and all of the files on my computer (hidden deep deep away in files that will never be found!) They're fun, and if they got out I'd say... look how hot I was back then!

It all depends on your trust of the other person and the level of your relationship, as well as what you both see in the future for your relationship.

Done this, regretted it, will never do it again...

Very bad idea.

True, things could always go wrong; you just never know. To me it's just down to how mature he really is. If you think there's a good chance he might be childish enough to reveal something like that then you probably shouldn't take that risk.

I, however, have done it and don't regret it. We're over but he was mature enough to keep it at that so no one ever found out. Well, until now I guess.

It's really a gamble if you've ever done this, with or without a partner, because it gets you a lot of unwanted attention and then you worry about who has seen your pictures.

I honestly think it's your business, as long as you keep them in a safe place, you know? And it all depends on how honest you are with people and how comfortable you are with your own body.

I think it's up to the individual person whether or not they want to take nude photos. Not a good idea, not a bad idea, just someone's personal decision. Everyone know with technology now they could easily end up in the wrong hands so it's up to them if they trust another person or not with nude photos.

It's not good not bad. but if you feel like taking pictures or even videos then that is fine as long as you will also delete it afterwards. Never ever keep it!!!

I guess it must seem like a fun idea at the time, but it sure does seem to backfire a lot.

Ok, I said good idea but I want to change my answer to bad idea...it wasn't pics that got in the wrong hands, it was a video. Hubby had a friend over and he was showing him something he had taped and it just happened to be recorded over a "session" that the hubby and I had. Well, at the end of what my hubby wanted to show his friend, guess what popped on the screen? My girly bits. The most embarrassed I've ever been in my life.

I don't think it's a good idea but it's not a bad one either, unless you are in the public eye. If you're famous, or aiming to be in politics or something then you should definitely not do anything like that. It will get out. Someone will find it. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I feel like if you put something like that out in the universe it will most likely find you again in an unpleasant way. Kind of like saying something mean about someone, they always find out.

just so long as you keep them hidden well and maybe even avoid having your face included in the pic or photoshopping it out, i don't really see the big deal.

I really don't understand, what’s the point of doing it? If you boyfriend/husband wants to see you naked then do it in person! Why keep a pic or worse a video of something so personal that may possibly end up in the wrong place, especially in this era so technologically affected.
It is a risk.

Bad idea. I did this with my ex (his camera, I might add) 8 years ago, when I was (eek!!) 17... I haven't talked to him since 1999 and to this day I have NO idea where those pictures are!! I hope he just threw them out. Doubt it, though...

Bad idea, what's the point of them anyways?!?! To mortify you once they get into the wrong hands. Save yourself the embarrasment!!

Always a bad idea. Just when you think you can trust people, they will land in the wrong hands and you will be sorry.

It's funny, I was just thinking about my situation YESTERDAY!

When I was 18, I let my THEN boyfriend take a picture of me with one side of my skirt pulled up---just high enough to show the top of one of my gartered stockings. (We're talking mid thigh level here.) That's a pretty innocent picture, compared to most that are out there, but I would be soooooo mortified if he ever let that picture get out! I have felt like crap for that, from the second I let him take the picture.

I know I sound like a prude, but nude photos really are a bad idea. You just never know if they will come back to haunt you.

It can be a great deal of fun but IMO you must be in control of the pictures. Do not let anyone else handle the pix, even him. If things go wrong, you can destroy them.

I say a bad idea but than it also depends on the type
There is some as many have seen stars do, where it is tastefully done.
Where you don't see a lot it is it more alluded to it
I think than it can look beautiful without being tacky

i mean really, as long as it's between you and your significant other, o biggie. but honestly, don't keep them on the computer, don't take them with the cell phone. There was a teacher in western ny who took them with her cell, and forgetting they were there lent it to a student to use. now all of the student's friends have seen her, and her job was put in jeopardy.
don't be stupid!

I've taken them and so far nothings happened.. knock on wood. I think they can be fun in the right relationship..I wouldn't want to do it with a random person that I didn't really know though.

If you really wanted to take pictures, I would suggest doing it and then DELETING THEM THE SAME NIGHT/NEXT DAY! TRUST ME.

My boyfriend lives 3 states away from me so we have done it to keep each other occupied and so we will still be attracted to each other. It's nice knowing that instead of looking at porn with other girls in it, he's looking at me.

with sites like revengeworld.com i think it's a HORRIBLE idea!

haha i only let my ex snap ONE picture of me nakie. and i totally stole it from him when we broke up.

I love the idea of preserving my nude body in pictures...this is conceivable the best my body will ever look so I want pictures to look at when I'm old...plus it lets my bf know what he's missing....I'm proud of my body and I think the human body in general is amazing... I don't see why people are so ashamed of it... its amazing in form and function

Good idea! me and my bf set up a timed camera and set it to take pictures of us in bed fooling around. later, we always take them out and look at them with pride. that just makes us want to get to the bed even faster.

Bad idea. If my man wants to see me naked, I am happy to oblige him.
