What are Nudes?

When someone talks about nudes, they are referring to pictures and videos of a person in the nude or partially in the nude. These images and videos can be taken for artistic or sexual purposes and generally contain some level of nudity. Although the images can be shared between two consenting adults, nudes are also often shared without permission, which is known as non-consensual pornography, or revenge porn.

What is Consensual Nude Photography?

Consensual nude photography is when people purposefully create and share images and videos containing nudity. These can be shared between partners or used for commercial or art purposes. The models and photographers must be of 18 years of age or older and must mutually agree to take and share photos. The images must be taken and distributed respectfully to avoid any offence or embarrassment.

What is Non-Consensual Pornography?

Non-consensual pornography, often referred to as ‘revenge porn’, is when nude images of someone are shared without their permission or knowledge. This is considered to be an act of digital abuse and is illegal in many countries around the world. It is not only offensive, but it can also be incredibly damaging to the victim’s mental health. Unfortunately, this type of abuse is more prevalent than many people think and can have serious consequences.

In conclusion, nude images are images that contain nudity and can be shared consensually or without permission. Consensual nude photography is an art form enjoyed by many and should always be respected. Non-consensual pornography is an act of digital abuse and should never be tolerated.
