19 women share how it felt to send nudes for the first time
In our technological era, the act of sending nude pictures of yourself to your partner, to your casual FWB, or to a crush is becoming more and more of a normal activity. For some folks, sexting helps them keep an established relationship ~spicy~, maintain a new flirtation, or simply have some fun. A Cosmopolitan survey found that nine out of 10 millennial-aged women have taken nude photos of themselves.

But when women make the choice for themselves and are not facing a criminal invasion of their privacy, sending nudes can be an empowering act of self-confidence and sexuality, an exciting step in your level of comfortability with a partner, and a big turn-on.
