Body Empowerment: How Sexting Photos Can Help You and Your Relationship

It seems like everyone sexts these days.

In fact, almost half of all adults have sexy pics and messages on their smartphones! Considering the popularity of mobile apps like Snapchat with young people, it’s likely that number is far higher in reality.

Sexting is now part of society.

Yet it still gets a bad rep. Many people outright refuse to take and/or send them.

It’s true, nude pics may get leaked to peers, tech can get hacked, relationships may sour, phones can get lost, and so on. There are many potential downsides to sexting.

But what about the good stuff? There are many reasons to consider doing it too. It may help you out. Want to find out how?   

Keep reading to learn exactly how sexting photos can help you and your relationship.

1. Breaks Stigma of Nudity

The western world has come a long way.

Compared to bygone conservative eras in the past, we live in an immensely liberal time! We’ve got the 60s to thanks for that!

However, traces of the old remain. Nudity is still a stigmatized idea for many. To imagine stripping off in public is to be confronted with that fact! Just the thought is enough to draw shame and embarrassment.

Taking and sharing sexy pics is a great way to combat that stigma. To be seen naked by others is to be vulnerable. That amounts to an act of courage, which should always be commended!   

2. Leads to Feeling Validated

Sometimes we all need validation.

We’re often our own worst critic.

Our boobs are too small. Our bums are too big. Our stomachs stick out too much. We’re ugly and there’s nothing else to say!

Wrong! Everyone is beautiful. Sometimes we just need someone else to tell us. Baring all, or sending a sexy underwear pic, can be enough for others to tell us how good we look.

3. Improve Self Confidence

Being validated is a sure-fire way to improve your self-confidence.

All that negative self-talk about our appearance only serves to damage our self-esteem.

Nice as it may be to remain in full control of how we feel about ourselves, sometimes it takes someone else to remind us.

Equally, those sexy pics don’t even need to be sent. Just the act of taking a sexy pic can reveal a side to ourselves we hadn’t previously recognized. Seeing ourselves looking fine in a sexy photo may be enough to provide the confidence boost we need.

4. Heal Longstanding Wounds

Trauma of any kind is often kryptonite to a positive body image.

It leaves scars in many ways. Namely, how we feel about ourselves. Being naked may hold a negative connotation. Shame and even PTSD-like symptoms may occur.

Taking nude shots isn’t necessarily a cure!

However, many people talk about the healing nature of the act. Taking these photos (even if you don’t send them) can provide a reconciliation to longstanding personal issues about your body.

Again, sending them to others may be an important part of overcoming old trauma. It’s about reclaiming your body and being proud of how you look.

5. It’s Fun!

Frankly, sexting photos can be downright fun!

What’s life without a little risk, anyway? It keeps things interesting. Sending sexy pics is empowering. It’s about taking control and letting someone see a different side to you.

It doesn’t have to be all serious and scary.

People do it in a carefree way. It’s about titillating your partner, getting them excited about seeing you, and keeping things sexy and light-hearted.

6. Try Something New

Have you ever taken a nude photo of yourself?

No?

Well, why the heck not?! Life is far duller without the occasional novel experience. Doing the same old stuff repeatedly is boring. Trying something for the first time can be invigorating.

Sometimes it takes experimentation to find new activities you enjoy.

You never know, you might learn something about yourself. Taking sexy pics might come naturally. It may excite you, interest you, and open doors to other new experiences.

7. Showcase Real Bodies

The world is full of models.

We’ve grown up with a fixed idea of what it means to be beautiful. From catwalks and film stars to glossy magazine front covers. We’ve been fed an idea of what it is to look good.

People’s notions of beauty and sex-appeal have been warped accordingly.

Frankly, it’s all fake. It’s unrealistic for the vast majority of mums to have a body like Victoria Beckham. It’s unfortunately easy to judge yourself against these standards. People feel somehow less worthy compared to others.

Sending sexy nude mom photos (for example) resets the balance.

It helps to counteract the photo-shopped, manicured world of supermodels and celebrities. It’s a way of saying ‘hey, hold up, this is what a real body looks like and I’m darn proud of how I look’.

8. Increased Sexual Satisfaction

The benefits of sexting don’t stop at individual levels either.

Nope, relationships are helped too.

All that increased sex appeal, fun and light-hearted play leads to greater levels of sexual satisfaction. And, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that!? Our sex lives form an important part of healthy relationships all-around.

The more sex, the better! It facilitates a sense of closeness, bonding, and ease around each other. Sending the photos beforehand is like the entrée. The main course is when you get together in person!

Time to Start Sexting Photos

There you have it: exactly how sexting photos can help you and your relationship.

People around the world are sending naughty texts and pics all the time.

However, it remains a contentious issue! For several (understandable) reasons, many people avoid the practice at all costs. Yet, as we’ve seen, the reality of the act may be different. Sending sexy pics can be a wholly positive experience.

Hopefully, this piece has highlighted why!
