Definitely not for the weak of heart.

If ever there was a poster boy for the Republican Party, it would be Joe Barton.

Look a them there guts

people he says were adult consenting women.

The apparent age of consent for Roy Moore.

They get deleted the same way the inheritance letters do. Sent? Give me a break.

you did NOT "see" what was done there!

and no.

I am laughing, not at you, with you. Nudity is not my thing, protection of minors is. Serious answer, yes, spam mail and hackers

nude or private pics of yourself out where others might be able to access them. On the other hand, I'm 68 and I doubt anyone would want to access them.

This is so NOT what my generation did. We are now too old to want to see one another in the all-together. Many would have participated had they been able I am sure.

So NOT what our generation did

Or they took film photos and had them developed. They couldn't transmit them online because there was no such thing.

But if there was, I have no doubt plenty of people would have.

As for that generation now that it's in its 60s -- well, there are lots of things my father wouldn't have done at age 60 that I would have no problem doing.

by some leering clerk. This would discourage us from taking such photos.

It would never occur to me to send one, and I hope I never receive one.

BTW, it's beyond stupid to do this shit if you're a politician in the age of the internet.

or did we blame the hackers for invading their privacy?

The hackers were bad. No question about it.

But the material was out there. Why would women make these personal pictures available in cyberspace? We've heard time and again that the internet is permanent. If you post it, you have to own it.

Regardless of all of this, I believe we live in a dangerously restrictive society that denies far too much about human sexuality.

of Morgan Freeman? (My reference is the so-called voice of "God".)

Well, it may be a while ...

THAT FREAKING FOLDER IS FULL OF NEKKED PICS

I only go into the spam folders to read the articles, of course.

Happy Thanksgiving!

(There are also some amazing ways to get rich, all sent to us in our spam folders. Who knew?)

is Skype exempt from this poll?

is so risky, and that’s even when you know and trust the person to whom you are sending them. I always seemed to be in long-term relationships, and these photos seem to be sent to people that the sender is trying to entice into a sexual relationship (I guess — nude art is beautiful but not these nude selfies that we’ve been seeing lately!) Of course the problem is they are out there forever and why a CONGRESSMAN would do this is just totally beyond me. There is a recklessness about it that is amazing.

Once they are out there, you never really know where they could end up. I just don't understand why so many people take the chance.

and I am now approaching 70. Not one from anyone. But I don't hang around sites that would elicit it.

I am just a boring person.

But I am not a GOP politician. That subset of Americans apparently sends and receives many such photos.

Stupidity in this regard crosses party lines. But people still can't come to grips that there is no such thing as "privacy" any more.

that whatever you post or email might show up in the news.

some of whom were decades younger than him, none of whom he had any actual relationship with, and because, in his own words, it was "most important" that he leave Congress and work on healing his marriage.

Much different set of facts. Barton, scum as he is in terms of his politics, was separated from his wife, and communicated with women he had an intimate relationship with.

I didn't think (and don't think) what Bill Clinton did disqualified him from being President and I don't think what Barton did disqualifies him either. That said, I hope the voters in Texas vote him out of office for whatever reasons that they might have.

And I have never and never would send anyone, not even a partner, a nude pic, not my style. I have, however, received a dick pic once, when I was online dating many years ago. It wasn't even someone I had been talking to, it was out of the blue, and it disgusted me. He got a piece of my mind!

Never sent one - never received one

Not completely nude, but close. I didn't ask for them and never showed them to anyone. When we went our separate ways, I put them in the wood stove.

She never would tell me who took them, but said they were taken for me.

I cannot imagine doing that.

Always accompanied with "should I see a doctor about this?".

Survey says:

Let me take a closer look at that

NO




what a fookin' crazy world

YET, but I'm hoping to when the dementia really grabs...

I was raised to be a gentleman.

just sayin...

Thanks, VO, for the medicinal laugh.

A cold day and to stay motionless that long! You could have frozen!
BTW: would a nude daguerreotype constitute double exposure?

models (draped) for his photography classes...always with model's releases.

He never sent any to anyone..he just turned is his best photography to his instructors for critiques and a bit went into his portfolio.


Tikki

So, I guess I'll never find out.

But Marina from Minsk (or whatever this week's flavor is) hasn't stopped trying.

Never sent nude photos of anyone, never received nude photos of anyone. I cannot imagine getting nude photos of someone I have no interest in, or sending nude photos of myself to anyone at anytime.

That was the early 90’s. Still remember getting an internet list book, about the size of a large magazine. That was all the sites one could access.
Did not think about nude pix then and now you would need eye bleach if I sent one.

not even of people I might be interested in. LOL!

Do I need to get a cell phone, or is it too late?

I think we're all in the too late posse

That's gotta count for something, right?

That doesn't count

(when she's not wearing her Patriots jersey)

And yes, I've sent a boyfriend a selfie of my boobs, but not with my face. Not recently though. The last time was probably 7 or 8 years ago.

its pretty common among women in younger generations. No way in hell I'd be sending one out though--I'm selfish that way

Running around naked in the 60s - absolutely.

Believe me, Polaroids leave something to be desired (even though I've seen 'em). If there had been phones with cameras 2000 years ago, then teens would have sent pictures.

I guess what doesn't make sense are 30-40+ year olds sexting. Seemed to make sense when you're young, but not as much now.

Age changes your perspective.

...someone that anyone would look at nude, that would have involved buying a stamp and some Polaroid film.
But to answer the question, no, that's a big NO. Hell no.
But I'm not quite 60.

Here's reasonable facsimile for you. Full disclosure; the wife says I need a haircut.

Too cute

Confessing that I still remember their advertising slogan is, arguably, more embarrassing than would be confessing to having sent nudes.

Just not my schtick and, if you're trying to get my attention, it's not going to work.

I was wondering what on earth would compel anyone - especially an older person - to do such a thing. I asked my husband (age 70) if he would have ever in a million years sent a picture of his dick to someone. We're not prudes, but I really don't understand the sending "necked" photos thing at all.

at the Barton photo - what would make someone do anything that gross.

That and we made a pact that if either of us ever did we’d get a divorce.

we sent our nude daguerreotypes by pony express

didn't expect the additional text when i clicked on it lol

let alone take a fucking picture.

Never sent, never received

A serious girlfriend in high school gave me a topless Polaroid photo of herself. I kept it until we broke up, and then destroyed it. I told her it no longer existed. 1962.

There are some seriously sick folks out there

And no I've never sent or received nude photos.

Back when, the Polaroid camera was the tool of choice for "whoopie" pics, and after the laughter died down, they went into the fireplace!

I'm still amazed anyone can be stupid enough to do that.

That was the 'swinger' back then?

one. I'm am the polar opposite of what an exhibitionist is. I do not like drawing attention to myself and I don't like having my picture taken.

and there are not many cameras whose lenses could withstand an image of me with them off.

at 70 something it would like cause a tear in the space time continuum.

Have not sent,
nor received any nude photos.

It was the 1960s, for god sake. Michelangelo Antonioni's movie "Blowup" had just made photography THE hot hobby in 1966.

Of course there were nude pics floating around, lots and lots and lots of them. And of course some current DUers took and/or received them. The odds of anything else are the same as the odds of Jared actually having a faulty memory.

Yeah, Barton is a sleazebag, but I let go of my pearls on the issue of nude photographs in about 1967.

Eyes on the prize and all that.

I’m not a pearl clutcher by any means, but if I wanted to look at someone’s junk I did it in person, not through a camera.

There are probably enough skeletons in my closet to stock a catacomb.
The issue isn't the pictures. It's how, and by whom, they get used. That's all I'm saying.

Your self-preservation instincts were good. Lots of people don't have them, and if it's not photos that catch up with them, it's hot little notes on non-biodegradable paper, or something else equally incriminating.

should only be about cats and grandkids, in that order.

But if some good-looking gal over 55 wants to send some to me, that’s fine (Just make sure that everyone else in the picture is over 18).

Once upon a time I had a very a active and varied sexlife.

I couldn't imagine getting that randy now.

Please explain.
