Invest in a reliable tripod for steady shots, explore lens attachments for enhanced clarity, and don't forget to play with filter apps to add that touch of magic. And most importantly, let your confidence shine through. Remember, it's not just about the visuals. it's about telling your unique story.”

Ideas for Posing

Poses

“If you are not confident about your body, try sending your first nudes to close friends! You are about to share your nude body with a stranger, so test it on people you love.”

Lighting and Angles

The magic of lighting cannot be overstated. Soft, diffused light creates a romantic vibe, and playing with shadows adds depth. Different angles can help you find the perfect combo, creating the excellent shot that boosts confidence. Don’t use celling light, try smaller lamps and move them or move around them!

Sara Rosen, Certified Sex Therapist

“When taking nudes, speak kindly to yourself about your body. Positive self-talk makes the whole experience way more fun.”

Haley, Content Creator

“I always get unsolicited dickpics, most of the times I reply with a link to a free clinic where they treat STIs.”

The Selfie Approach

Sometimes, the best nudes are the ones you take yourself. A selfie offers complete control, allowing for a cute, playful, or deeply personal presentation. Experiment with different compositions using a selfie stick or a mirror. You can try making a video and screenshotting the best frames!

“Take a video then screenshot so poses feel more fluid & natural.”

How to Ask For Nudes and How to Send Them

Be Tactful

  • Approach your partner with a mix of sincerity and light-heartedness. It’s a delicate dance between being direct and maintaining a playful tone.

  • Pay attention to their responses. If they are not giving you the green light, back off gracefully. No means no.

Respect their Boundaries

  • Pressuring is not an option. If you're met with hesitation, let it be known that you value their choices and privacy above all else.

Handle Denials
Like a Pro

  • If they say no, let that be an end to it. Show them that their decision hasn’t changed how you view them or your interaction.

  • Use it as an opportunity to strengthen the trust between you. Showing respect can only make your connection more robust.

If They Say Yes

  • Keep their photos confidential, and show them the same respect you’d want in return.

  • Express your gratitude, not just for the photo but for the trust they placed in you.

James, OF model

“Asking for nudes isn't just about the nudes. It's about the connection and the respect you build. Treat it with care, protect it fiercely, and never take it for granted.”

What to Do If Your Nudes
Get Leaked

When creating nudes, try not to show your face, anything that can reveal your address or be potentially sensitive. If you choose to be full-on transparent, consider the risks of all your content being leaked. If your grandma and co-workers won’t judge and you are proud of yourself, we say — go for it.

But if you tried to do everything in a safe way, finding out your nudes have hit the public domain can feel like a storm has just uprooted your personal sanctuary. Take a deep breath and minimize damage.

Immediate Steps

  • First things first, secure the evidence. Screenshot, save, and document everything.

  • Contact the platforms where the images appeared. Demand immediate removal under their privacy policies.

  • Next, let's talk about your rights. You didn’t sign up for this, so lean on the law. Report the incident to the authorities and explore legal actions for infringement of privacy.

  • If there’s a hint of blackmail, make it known. Extortion is a no-go, and the law's got your back.
