In the gay dating arena, perhaps, there’s more of a demand for nudes.
There are literally hundreds of naked photos of me online now and I’ve photographed over 20 people in their forties with varying degrees of good and bad relationships with their bodies.” Bea, a body positivity blogger who’s in her forties says, “Taking nudes has gone from being something that scared me because I didn’t think I was hot enough to something that’s increased my confidence hugely. Photographing yourself nude forces you to appraise your body afresh, there’s nowhere to hide and while there’s every risk it could confirm your worst fears – there’s a reason I never photograph myself from below – seeing your body in that state can help you appreciate its wonder. It’s well-known the regular, jeans-on selfies can be a confidence boost – either to reaffirm your attractiveness or garner interactions on social media – so it’s fairly obvious nudes can do the same for sexual confidence. Often overlooked is the normalisation of nudes and its effect on body positivity. “I admit the cubicle ones aren’t always the best, so sometimes I’ll do a decent one at home and save it to send to her on Friday.
She’ll send me a down-the-top shot – or more if she’s at home that day – and I’ll nip to the loo and give her a quick peek.” Any colleagues of Tom needn’t be concerned – usually he’ll have a spare nude ready to go. It can build excitement and maintain intimacy, no matter how far apart you are says Tom, who’s been with his wife for 15 years: “It’s become our regular thing on a Friday afternoon. No more fiddling with a Polaroid or hoping the Snappy Snaps guy developing your film won’t call the feds – digital photography allows us to be right there and ready.
In a relationship, of course, nude photos are a way of keeping the passion alive and they’re especially useful in long-distance relationships. Unprompted nudes can have their place, she reckons, but “generally with someone who I’ve been chatting with or dating I wouldn’t send them to a stranger”. “Sending nudes is great fun I haven’t had anyone to send them to me for a while and I kind of miss that adrenaline rush,” she says. But she does strive to eat healthy, and works out with a trainer three or four times a week using the Megaformer, an advanced Pilates machine.Lingerie designer Marisa says a topless pic does much more for her than a gonzo-shot dick pic and she much prefers to send than receive – when she can. The actress is accepting of her body, including that she'll never have six-pack abs. If I grab them, I can't even cover the nipple!" "I can barely cover my boobs with two arms - I'm a 32-triple-D!" she says when noting why most nude magazine poses won't work for her. I had never thought of the word pore, then I'm like, 'Sh**! What do I do with these?'"Īnother topic Vergara isn't shy about is her bra size. "People say, 'Oh, you look like you're in your 20s.' Well, it's not true," she adds. I think if you are obsessed with this 'I want to look younger' thing, you're going to go crazy."
I want to look my age, but I want to look great. "It's not that you hate it, or that you're upset about it, but it is our reality. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can't be perfect," she explains.
