Is it a consent violation to keep old nude pics that were sent to you?

Dude. Delete them.

It’s disrespectful to keep your exes’ nudes and reflects poorly on you character. Delete them.

How would you feel if she had pictures of other naked dudes?

Consent isn’t really the issue here, but yeah breaking up with someone normally includes not jerking it to them anymore.

Hey dude how would you fill if your GF had nude pics of her exes and she don't want to delete them? and looking at them like you. Delete them your relationship will be better just saying!!!

Doesn’t violate your ex’s consent for you to keep them. As far as I know selfies have no expiration date. But for you to keep them now that you’re in another relationship is a violation of her trust.

Mothafucka. if a hoe sent you da whole damn show dat means it be yo property now. You, as da nigga in question, may do with yo property as you please.
You may sell it, you may keep it, you may trade it wit otha niggas like it be pokemon cards.
Ain't no bitch gon tell you what you can do with yo property, mah nigga.
Fahreal.
That's what's up

Keeping nudes from your ex is not violating anything, it's just a scummy thing to do if you are in a relationship with another woman.

You said you'd never share them with anyone - well done for that! Only the biggest of douchebags do that.

If you are in a serious relationship, it's time to delete those photos. I deleted my stash when my girlfriend, now fiancee first moved in with me and we knew we clicked together. I had no reason to keep them.

I still have photos where I'm with exes on an external HDD, but those are memories, often shared with other friends, visiting interesting places so I keep those... but the lewd ones are gone.

I don't think it's a consent violation, for the reasons you describe. We agree on that front. However you should definitely delete them all. Why keep them? Do you still enjoy looking at them? How do you think that makes your girlfriend feel? Don't you think it's a bit sad to lust over photos of women who you aren't with anymore?

It all sounds depressing and creepy. If I was her and I found those photos I would have dumped you for being a creep.

It is not a consent issue; but what is your reason to keep them? Is that reason worth future issues?

I have in my boxes in the basements normal pictures of all of my past GF's along with thousands of other pictures from those years (they are my memories). My wife has actually asked to see them once just to see what kind of ladies I dated in the past (which quickly put to end her idea that I was focused on certain body types or features: I focus on their personality and how they thought and acted).

At the same time I have a collection of "artistic beautiful" nudes and partial nudes (none of my GF's). My wife is from Eastern Europe and has no problem with Art Nudes (her comment after I took her through the 2nd Art Museum here in America was "Where's all the nudes?". European art museums are full of them - and extremely few are offended).

Anyway; I showed her my collection and she had no objection and now she could see what I liked... which often has to do with facial expressions than body shape; although there are some general trends. My wife knows what I like and will often point out a good one to me so I can look. She knows that its nothing more than eye candy unless they develop a real friendship first and meet a lot of conditions (and she likes certain kinds of guys as well).

I don't look at those art nudes very often; and I also don't spend much time looking to add to it.

So, do you consider these pictures to be artistic, or some other category that is explainable?

If not, I suggest that they are most often going to create more trouble than not. Are they worth that?

ps: My wife was bothered by the fact that I still had the engagement ring and planned wedding band for a previous GF that I was still friends with. I quickly sold them for a song compared to what I paid for them.

I'd say it's harmless enough as long as you don't send them to anyone else (which you already said you obviously wouldn't). I mean, you've already seen her naked and had sex with her, a few naked pictures is nothing. I don't think you should feel you have to delete them either really. Just like with when you give someone anything, if you send someone nudes then they're their property, they can do whatever they want with them (although they shouldn't show them to anybody). She must've known that when she sent them and so she probably half expects that you would hang onto them, or not care about it either way anyway.

Obviously it could be hurtful to your current girlfriend to find out about them though. I don't think it's cheating in any way, but it could make her feel like you wish you were still with them rather than her, and so it's a little worse than just having random porn images on your PC. But then probably most people would keep old pictures of their exes anyway, just because it documents that part of their life, and so the only difference with these pictures is that they're nudes.

being nude is not naughty

No, it's not a consent issue. Disrespectful? Definitely, especially to your current partner. I'd suggest deleting them.

Wow, sounds like there are a lot of people here that sent pictures to an ex that they hope were deleted.

I'm a old believer that once you sent or put these pictures out there, you might want to expect them to show up anywhere and everywhere. There are way to many revenge porn or ex's porn sites out there to think this can't happen to you.

The fact you state you have kept them for yourself and not shared them is admirable.

To answer everyone's question as to why. Who knows but some people I've known mainly the guys seem to look back as good times keepsakes or worse a trophy wall. Normally if it the latter they want to show them off like a fish on the wall.

Girls we kind of move on, and don't like our SO keeping our predecessors pictures around. Competition maybe?
Don't know why we don't want to keep a collection of cock pictures (taken next to a measuring tape), and keep them as conquest photos, but I do wonder if guys would get upset if we did.

As far as consent if they were voluntarily put out there, you really only have hope you don't see them show up when you least expect them too.

its the better thing to delete them once youre no longer with them

any woman who gets in a relationship and expects guys to magically no longer find other women attractive is fuckin delusional though

I'd get rid of the ones that show their faces but either than that, i see no problem. Especially that u say none of your exs asked u to delete them. I dont think your new girl should have a say in this. She's free to have any picture she wants as well no?

If someone provides you with nude pics, there is no expiration date on the pics. If the pic provider has rules or expectations about the tenure of the pic, don't provide them.

I think what is legal and what's ethical and moral could be two different things. If you have a NEW girlfriend, then why would you want to jack off to pictures of your OLD girl friend?? Delete that fucken trash and take pictures of your NEW girlfriend. Better yet, have her strip in person!! That just makes sense!!

Bottom line is "Don't Be a FUCKEN MORON!!" Ya fuckin DIPSHIT!!

The whole freakin question is STUPID beyond belief!! It's hard to believe somebody can be that DUMB!! How is having nude photos of your EX going to help your current relationship you stupid fucken DIPSHIT?????!!!!!

FUCKING IDIOT!!

On consent: It's a bit of gray area. It's an absolute violation if you were told to though and probably also a clear violation if things ended really badly. If things didn't end badly it's also still probably a violation if you kind of just know damn well they would have just expected you were going to. If the thought of just asking them seems like a bad idea to you, it probably means delete them. Otherwise it's just a little weird and probably bad for your mental health.

On dating someone: Every relationship has different rules, but assuming this is a typical one with the standard practices, you absolutely should have deleted them at the point that it became official, and you for damned sure shouldn't have been looking at them.

If I was your girlfriend to be honest I would be pissed. I would suggest to delete them. I think it would be best for your future self, including relationships.

Just my opinion.

Uh you should definitely delete them

If you think they would still send you the nude i think theres no issue keeping it with consent. Its when you get to a point where that person would no longer send you a nude that it becomes a consent issue.

I mean I had pictures of my exes in my phone before after we broke up. I mean I was single though and never showed anyone and later deleted them.

Password protect them in respect for your exes interests. Delete them if you ever get married. You may be constantly dumped by women all your life. If so, the pictures will be there for you when you're a lonely old man. They will be little consolation for your empty soul.
