Do you wish you had taken more naked/sexual pictures when you were younger

[denem]

like, for those old enough to remember, Polaroids, so we did not have to worry about commercial developers.

I have a few, I treasure some of them, including the nasties. People have a right to privacy on the 'interwebs', but, I wish I had been less inhibited back in the day. Do you have naked photos from way back when? Do you regret it?

[hobbit709]

1. There are very few pictures of any kind of me back then.

If I needed to disappear no one would know what I looked like.

[Aristus]

2. I wish I had had the courage to take some back when I was at the peak of fitness.

Mid-90's. I worked out three hours a day, and had abs to die for. I tanned three times a week, too. I looked pretty good. I was vain enough (or proud enough of the effort I had put into it, whichever...) to pose in front of my mirror for hours. I worked out a number of poses that I wanted to commit to film, like The Prima Porta Augustus, the Dying Gaul, and the Michelangelo David. I never did it, though.

And I guess, in retrospect, I'm glad I didn't. Nudes taken when young and carefree have become a bludgeon to beat the erstwhile subjects with. I'm glad I don't have to be faced with that...

17. I know what you mean about the poses...

I still do The Thinking Man every morning...

[LynneSin]

3. I just wish I had taken more photos

I don't need to take naked/sexual photos to justify anything.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Oh, God, no!

There are no such photos in existence (or even not in existence, since none were ever taken). And I'm perfectly happy that way. Naked has never been a good look for me, even before I got old and my body started to resemble a gunny sack full of doorknobs. Anyhow, even polaroids can fall into the wrong hands, get scanned and wind up on the Internet....

[antiquie]

5. I posted a nude pic of my younger self

a while back -- only one person looked.

[femmocrat]

6. I don't have any.

Me in a one-piece bathing suit at the shore is the closest I have! LOL

[OriginalGeek]

7. I have no problem being naked

The only reason I'm wearing pants right now is my boss hates when I show up naked.

And I'd hate to go to jail naked.


again.




Oh and IDGAF that people think my fat ass is hideous. I ain't naked for them.


I think my wife erased the VHS tape I made for her. And by "erased" I mean "wore out". But she probably still has some of the pics - one I drew and others just photos.

[steve2470]

8. nope, never done any, too shy nt

[riderinthestorm]

9. I took them. Even made sex tapes with my husband back when we were younger

I don't regret it nor do I wish I'd done "more". Not sure where any of them are now though.... It would be pretty funny if they somehow emerged now.

I spent a year living topless in a thong bikini on Bondi Beach Australia right after I graduated college at 22 yrs old. As a 36D, 100 lb, blonde, I'm pretty sure I'm in a lot of old tourist pictures ....

[mulsh]

10. No photos.In my late teens, early twenties my artist friends began drawing my butt for some reason.

I have about 200 drawings and prints, mostly etchings, of my apparently interesting ass and back. In fact there are only about 10 frontal portraits. This all came to an end by my late twenties.

However in the past couple of years 5 of these friends have made some sketches of my very much more ample butt and back side. I'm still friends with most of these artist and most of them are still producing art you never know when someone will get inspired.

I had sex with most of the artists I wanted to do that with. I've always preferred doing to watching.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. meh.

unsubstantiated rumor has it that someone here has the capability of circulating "unflattering" pictures of me.
what ever that means ...

So, for all I know there are plenty enough pictures of me already, I think.

[Callmecrazy]

18. Oh yeah, I saw those...

What's with the midget? And the jumper cables?

Just kidding, of course.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. Lol

Ask whoever it is circulating them. Cos I honestly have no clue, what, when, where, why, or who. Lol.

[KamaAina]

12. I wish I had had the chance to

[Blue_Tires]

13. One was enough for me...

and the only people who know it exists are my girlfriend at the time, the film developer and myself...

In retrospect I do wish I'd videotaped some of my more memorable episodes with past girlfriends, especially when I see how commonplace it is today...Sadly, none of the women in my past ever thought it was a good idea to even pose for nude photos, much less be videotaped...

[Skittles]

21. you dated some very smart gals

yup

[840high]

14. Never did. Never will.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Yes. My other-half was a professional advertising photographer.

He developed the film and printed proof sheets.
That was in the late '70s. I went to a gym 5 days a week. I wish I had more photos but I was camera shy. Theo got yelled at more than once for taking a candid shot of me.

[RiffRandell]

16. I'm happy with the quality and amount I have and no regrets.

I do miss my 24 year old body but 20 years later I'm pretty pleased with the way I aged; my husband certainly thinks so and that's all that matters...well he and James Franco.

[Tom Ripley]

19. Yes. Of some people I knew.

[Skittles]

20. HELL no

and I looked FINE, believe me......and at age 57 I am still a size 6

[RiffRandell]

23. Nice!

[trof]

22. Oh hell yes. Absolutely.

[rug]

24. My dying words will be, "I should have taken more nude photos of myself."

[arcane1]

26. I might wish I had kept more, but polaroids are so unflattering

I let my ex-wife keep all the video evidence. I doubt she still has any of it, being remarried and all that

[Chan790]

27. What do you mean younger?

I still take them now. I haven't got any shame.

[bigwillq]

28. I've only been taking "nasties" in the digital age.

I may end up on a computer screen near you one day.

[Iggo]

29. No.

What I wish is already true, and that is that there were no ubiquitous and omnipresent cameras when my generation were teenagers.

Phew!

[Le Taz Hot]

30. Others took them and, no,

it was just the right amount. I had a bangin' body back in the day and had no problem posing nude. And I don't regret a thing.

[hunter]

31. Like when, last summer?

I have lots of funny naked stories...

I've told this one on DU already, but here goes...

I develop my own film mostly, and I like to carry various film cameras around. I also don't see any point in wearing a swimsuit if I'm in a place where nudity is generally accepted.

As I was frolicking about in a certain California river, my wife picked up my camera and took a few photos of me. No big deal, not even memorable.

Now, whenever I finish up a roll of film I drop it into a box to be developed when I get around to it.

I'd long forgotten the naked pics when I noticed the box of undeveloped film was getting full. Feeling lazy I took all the color film to Costco for developing, printing, and scanning.

When I went to pick up the film I noticed the women behind the photo counter were looking me over and sort of smirking. I figured it wasn't anything to do with me, that maybe I'd simply interrupted some amusing conversation between them. I paid for my photos, walked out to my car, sat down, and began to shuffle through the prints.

In one of the envelopes, right on top, were the naked pics...
