When She Wants to Take Dirty Pictures With You

Taking dirty snaps with your girl or just someone you?re hooking up with can be great fun. It?s another way to be intimate with each other, and you?ll get even more raunchy than usual as you play up to the camera. But before you jump at her suggestion, there are a few things you need to think about.

Do you trust each other?

Be careful out there

The big risk of taking compromising photos together is that they could end up being seen by anyone. Before you take those pictures, consider if you trust your girl not to share your private pictures. If she?s just a hook-up, be wary of taking dirty pictures together. You have no reason to trust each other and no duty to each other to keep the photos private. If you can?t help yourselves, you can still have a bit of fun in taking naughty snaps, but insist on deleting or destroying the pictures afterwards at risk of them ending up online.

If you are in possession of the photos afterwards, resist the temptation to send the explicit photos to her family, friends or colleagues if you?re pissed off and want to embarrass her. No matter how much you don?t care about her anymore or want to hurt her if she?s hurt you, it?s not worth it. You do not want to be on the receiving end of her revenge.

Go vintage with film photography

With digital photography, it?s too easy to accidentally upload a naughty picture to Facebook. It?s also too easy for her to ?accidentally? email a compromising photo of you to your boss when she wants revenge after a messy break-up. Even if you insist she deletes the photograph, you have no way of knowing if she?s backed it up somewhere (which she probably has).

Reduce the risks by making use of film. You might not be keen on the idea of having to take the photos to get developed, but that?s why Polaroid cameras were invented. It?s instant, private, and you know only one copy of the photo was made. If you suspect she?s going to share the photo around to people you want to keep it a secret from, it is far easier to destroy the photo if there is only one physical copy, rather than an unknown amount of electronic copies.

How to take the photos

If you want to be able to enjoy looking the pictures together without cringing and having to field her asking if you think she?s fat, make sure to brush up on your photography skills first. Flattering light is key- soft, yellowish light will do the trick. If you have strong lighting conditions, use a lamp, which you can also use to create flattering shadows. If you?re taking sexy snaps of each other, rather than both getting in the shot, there?s no excuse for taking a bad photo as you can see what?s in the frame. Having a collection of saucy photos can be great for your sex life as you look over them later and get frisky all over again.
