    Um, if you're over about 22, it's kinda sad if you're still doing this.

    No, I have not. But my wife has. And the two girlfriends previous to her. Actually, they never sent me a picture, they just grabbed my phone and took a picture of themselves for me to find later. Luckily I always found them while alone.

    Call me old-fashioned, but I WTF'd at this one. I don't think 1/3 of people have bodies other people would really want to see naked.

    Maybe MTV only surveyed hot people.

    To do this, I would first need to convert the image into text (binary, ascii, hexadecimal, whatever) and then spend the next week texting chunks of it to someone else, who would then have to painstakingly reassemble the pieces into a cohesive whole.

    Funny story though! I used to work for Telus Mobility in Canada. One day at work a client came in with a device problem, his chocolate flip would power cycle after receiving a call. I wanted to verify the issue before creating a repair request, so I asked the guy if he would mind if I ran a test call. The dude was cool with it and handed me his phone. When I opened the device his display picture was of himself. He was nude, bent over, ass facing the camera, knees & thighs together, with his twig and berries stuck between his legs. He basically pulled an 'ugly woman' but then bent over and faced the camera. He acted like it was perfectly normal and wasn't the least bit embarrassed.

    The most disturbing part of this was that someone else had to obviously take the picture with his phone...

    @Nathan Obbards: lol. That actually would have made me feel less awkward.
    Instead, I gave him the phone back and told him to remove the picture and try another store. I then squirt disinfectant in my eyes and washed my hands in a mixture of bleach and Lysol... They still aren't clean.

    No I have not. Not that I'm not proud, but for the most part I've found that girls would rather not see frank 'n beans unless...well...I guess...rarely. The girls I know would rather see girls naked than guys. I don't know. It seems rather blah.

    Is that complicated enough for you?

    I have not. Then again, considering I'm under 18 even if I did I shouldn't admit to it hahaa.

    Of course. It's fun, erotic, exciting, and it's something to ALWAYS remember someone by. And as for showing your buddies, that's a given unless you're married (or unless the chick is a wreck). It's such a turn on getting a hot naked picture of a girl you're dating while you're at work, at home-pshhh anytime. It always gets me going and it's a great way to make your relationship interesting.

    As for teens/minors into it, who cares. It's been a right of passage forever to score on prom night, go steady and have sex, drink some beers, etc. This is just another thing to throw in there being that it's the 21st century. A sign of the times I say.

    I understand sexting could come back to haunt you, thus making it more risky than a sexual encounter coming back to haunt you, but think long and hard about that for a second....what's truly more of a risk? Sending dirty pics or having dirty sex? Embarrassing boob shots on the web, or secret herpes in your pants?

    Actually it's hard to keep Jesus from sexting you once he gets your number. It's nudie shot after nudie shot with him.

    Kidding, I'm just kidding....

    or am I?

    OK yes, I was kidding. I was actually talking about myself.
