Thinking about sending a nude?

Here’s five quick things to ask yourself before you hit SEND…
Are you OK if it’s out there forever?

Even if you’re pretty confident your nudes won’t be shared, once a nude’s sent, it never really disappears.

Even on Snapchat where photos disappear, someone can screenshot or take a shot of it on someone else’s phone.

Do you trust the person it’s going to?

Is the person wanting your nudes trustworthy? Do they have your back? If you’re in a relationship, are you okay with them having your pics/vids if you break up?

These may seem like no-brainers, but it’s not how you feel when you push send – it’s what happens afterwards.

Bottom line: If you’re not 100% sure that you can trust them, don’t hit send.

How do you feel about other people seeing the nudes?

If the idea of someone else mysteriously getting your nudes keeps you up at night, abort mission, do not send.

We’ve all heard about pics ending up across school or on a random site – and it’s not a joke. This can occur by thoughtless sharing – or it can be targeted.

Either way, the impacts can be rough.

Are you being pressured?

If someone’s hassling you to send a pic or video, that’s straight up ‘sexual pressure’.

Sending nudes is a sexual activity that should never involve pressure – so if someone’s trying to convince you, that’s a red flag.

LGBTIQ+ peeps

If you are sharing a pic or vid that discloses your sexuality or gender before you have come out to others – it might pay to take 5 and have a ponder.

That’s your story to share and it can be rough if someone shares it without your permission.
