No idea. Maybe to get the other person interested/excited?

I really don’t know I think it is pointless
Probably to sexually arouse the other person, but I’m only guessing.

It should only really be done between adults not young teenagers.

Well, it doesn't bother me as long as I'm not getting them sent to me. If people enjoy sending them, so be it.
Wanting attention, admiration from the opposite biological sex, to feel validated that another person finds their body attractive/sexy or trying to get a hookup/date.

Hmmm ok people but it still just sounds weird to me.
For me personally, I'm in an LDR where we obviously can't to anything physical to get each other going. It's one of the main forms of intimacy for us two. Tbh no one I know personally knows that I've ever sent nudes before - just something between me and him (or at least it better be..!)

When I was younger I though I'd never ever send nudes because of the risk of revenge pxrn etc, but right now it's pretty much our only option!

Ok but do you enjoy doing that because the idea just sounds weird

Sending nudes to random strangers online is idiotic and usually ends very badly for all the adults involved.
With under 18s, it is considered child porn- illegal to possess, request or distribute.
I don't believe that it is sensible to allow a partner to make nude photos or homemade porn videos even with married couples.

I do, it gives me the extra confidence boost every now and then - before any of you come at me, I'm confident enough without seding andrevieving nudes, it's just an extra bonus.

I think that the girls who send them may have low self-esteem and the boys who ask for the photos know this.

I suspect that the girls in question are told that everyone is doing it and that refusing marks you out as weird as a way of putting pressure on them to oblige.

I think that these years are a time when everyone wants to feel that they belong and so they don't want to say that they don't think it's a good thing.

My advice to any teenage girl would be to never send this sort of photo. The kind of guy who tries to force the issue is not the kind of guy you want around you.

Every now and then I see threads on TSR from young girls who have shared photos like these and are now frightened and upset.

It's really something a smart girl would avoid.

Yeah and that’s what I am trying to say . What good does it do if you end up sending them all you are doing is hurting yourself even more

I personally think that it's a bit dumb/weird to talk about sending nudes at school, unless it's one of those PSHE days where it's all about cyber safety. These people tend to be attention seeking and like to show off that they can get guys/girls. It's not something to show off about :///
Sending nudes whilst still at school is not very bright at all. As an adult, it's not so bad, so long as you use a high level of discretion with regards to who you're sending them to
I don't think it is weird, just very stupid to do so. Once someone has your photo you do not know where it will end up.
They probably think talking about it makes them seem cool.
