Mashable - 'Sex Education' perfectly sums up the politics and intimacy issues around sending nudes
Sexologist and relationship coach Madalaine Munro recommends "setting an intention” and being "sure of your why” before sending nudes. "Are you sending them to share yourself intimately with your partner? To let them into this side of you? Are you sending them because it feels like an empowering decision for you?"
She states that ensuring you’re sending images through an empowered decision, not to seek validation from others, is key. Plus, the nature of receiving nudes can quickly create a pressure to perform.
