I know how judgmental it can get for girls in that position, but I've never really gotten the perspective of how bad it is for guys (and no I'm not talking politicians lol). I was wondering does anyone know (maybe through personal experience) how people react to a guy's nudes leaking? I've never really dealt with that in my own social circle (but then again, I barely go out).
I donno, I guess it depends on the people around you. Per exemple: I am very close to my parents and I used to be so confident to them (not anymore). This would like mess with my mood and life if it happened a few months before. But some people don't take this seriously.
Oh god I hope my response doesnt offend anyone. okay, so here is what I think: It is hard for both, men and women, as in how they themselfs feel about having their nudes leaked. But when it comes to how other people react to it, I think it is harder for women, because there is still alot going on with slutshaming and the thought that women should not show themselfs to everybody etc, for example when a man has sex with ten women, nobody really cares or people even are proud for him, but if a woman has sex with ten men, she is often considered a slut. I am not saying that everybody thinks that way, but its often still in the back of the head of many people. I dont have any personal experience but i hope i could help in any way
I doubt I'd be bothered at all - I have no emotional attachment to nude pictures. If someone wants to share them with the world then more power to them. Countless people have already seen me naked so a few more probably won't hurt. Plus, anyone who has seen my naked physique can attest to the fact that I'm pretty damn hot.
I have to agree with MayaBee. Of course it has the potential to affect both genders equally, but in terms of the societal reaction, the backlash against girls is going to be stronger since they will be viewed as "sluts" for having naked photos in the first place, whereas there won't be as much stigma against a guy having such photos (unless of course he were to send them to someone underage, i.e. an 18-year-old to a 17-year-old, then we have a problem).
I don't think so. It can be humiliating for both genders, but in most of societies the idea that women should behave properly and not engage in casual sex is still dominant. Men in general don't have to live for this standard and might even be praised for being so sexually active.
Probably not that much, but people will try to find something to ridicule anyway. The thing I don't understand is why anyone needs to make these in the first place.
I think it's much worse for females, because naked 'dick pics' are considered a benefit of "see how big I am and what I have" vs. females with the being "cheap" if they have nudes. Unfortunately, this is due to patriarchy and the thought that women should be 'modest'. After all, if a guy has sex with 5 people he is a stud or player but a girl is almost always a whore or the 'town pump'. It's kinda sad in this day and age actually.
I think guys have it easier, like we always are comparing the size of our penises so for the world to see can't be that bad? And I think more girls have body image issues.
If it was just nudes (as in not sexual/pornographic) then I wouldn't care. If it was anything more then I suppose I wouldn't want my family or close friends to see them. Also it might affect your career etc. if that's important to you. ---------- Post added 7th Mar 2016 at 02:55 AM ---------- Are we? When has this been going on? nobody told me :icon_wink
It would depend on the individual, the circumstances under which the photos were taken and the circumstances under which they were leaked. And the self-esteem of the person in question. Someone who is really self conscious and who sent them to a gf/bf trusting them not to share them is going to be badly hurt but someone who is very confident in themselves and who posted them online isn't going to care that much, unless maybe they are used to make someone else money... A trans person might be particularly badly affected especially if the photos are pre or during transition It also depends on how public disclosure might affect career or family propects. Generalizing and saying women will be upset and men will be fine is far too sexist and role-reinforcing for my liking. Everyone will react differently.
