Researchers from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln conducted a survey. “Women often send sexualized images to men, but the reasons for these are unclear,” the scientists said. So they reached out to 207 US college students aged 19 to 27 who had posted a candid photo at least once in their lives.
The most common reason chosen by 35.3% of respondents was “perceiving obscene photo exchange in a relationship as the norm”. In other words, most girls send nude photos to their partners because they think this should be done. The next most common motifs are “because she wanted it” (20.8%), “we are apart” (17.4%) and “I assert myself” (14%).
Some women have used nude photos to feel their power over a man, others because they want to keep their partner that way.
