Reverse Question

Everyone talks about why guys go to the internet and the problems is causes. Can anyone tell me why so many girls pose nude on the internet for all the world to see. Anyone could see them: their friends, their high school teachers, their brothers and sisters, their parents, their employer, etc. Why would so many girls show their naked bodies openly to absolutely anyone? I know some get money, but is it all about money? Some don't get paid anything. Why do so many girls do it? Also, is it becoming more acceptable for girls to pose nude in front of everyone? Are girls these days less and less worried about who sees them? Are they proud to show their naked bodies to everyone? Can anyone tell me what is going on?

This is a great question that I would love to hear the answer to. Although I would never complain about women showing their goods online. All you have to do is go to craigslist personals and you will see more flash than you ever dreamed of, of both sexes. It makes you wonder if times have changed so much that it is not a big deal to people anymore to post themselves nude online. I know I nor DW would never do it.

Craig's list has nothing to do with my post because the women on Craig's list either show their naked parts or their face; not both. So, no one nude reveals their identity. My post addresses women revealing their identity and their naked parts for everyone to see.

It's a thrilling power trip I suppose...it could and probably does turn them on to know that someone is viewing them naked and possibly getting off on it too...

i dunno i guess its just i know alot of my friends pose (clothed) but they just want to know what other peoples opinion of them is, there insecure and want to know if people think they are pretty...i guess this is the same sort of thing but obviously a much major issue..maybe extreemly low self esteem

DH and I do photos for our own use. There is something provocative and sexually empowering about that, much like if I were to discretely slip off my panties in a dimly lit bar or restaurant. I can't explain why people would post them for others to look at, because I wouldn't, but I do wonder if this is any different from going to a nude beach, for example, where everyone who wants can look at you. I also wonder how many of those internet postings are due to mutual consent, as opposed to someone who is in possession of the photos. Just something to think about.
