Want to Show Friends Nude Photos of Wife

Question: I've taken some interesting nude photos of my wife over many years and I have wanted to show them to two of our best male friends. At first she didn't mind, but now has had second thoughts.
 
Some of them are quite revealing but all look quite sexy. Does that make me weird to want to show pictures of my wife to two of my friends, who I know would enjoy seeing them? I'm quite proud of her physical features. If I show them without her knowledge and she finds out about it, it may or may not create problems. What are your thoughts?

To show your wife's erotic and/or nude pictures to two of you and your wife's "best male friends" without her permission would be to violate trust in your relationship with your wife. She might feel betrayed and angry if she found out.

I suggest you talk with your wife about this desire. Tell her what meaning it would have for you to share her nude photos with your mutual friends. This could stimulate a discussion that would help each of you know each other at a deeper level.

Since showing the pictures would be a violation of her privacy, abide by her decision on this issue.

Maybe sharing the pictures would be sexually stimulating for you or might enhance your male ego (similar to "locker-room bragging" about sexual conquests). You and your wife have been together many years; perhaps you are wanting to spice up your lovelife. There are many ways you can do this without bringing others into your sexlife. You might want to explore Tantric sexual practices to enhance intimacy with your wife. There is a way in which our sexual activities and partner's bodies are sacred and "going public" with them does not honor their sacred nature.

My wife has been a nude model since she was in her early 30s
for artists and photographers and I have had her nude in front of many of our male friends. They have always been very respectfull of her and she has a great time of being the center of attention. Once she removes her clothes she stays naked as long as the guys are there.

Obviously you are very prouid of her and want others to admire what you see in her. That's great...but don't even think about it again!! Their take on it would be either sexual or they'll think you have a low regard for her to do such a thing. I love photographing my sweetheart naked also but I realize they should even one ever be lost or find its way on to the internet would destroy the both of us. I delete them as soon as we take them. Hey, I know its fun, a turn on but don't go there unless your willing to get hurt. Brag, tell people whatever you want but photos and video are an emphatic NO.

I have collected pictures of wives and girlfriends through out the years. It is photography and goes back to the beginning of the camera. Remember your spouse is only young once. It is great to reflect on relationships failed and early beauty.

One night my wife and I were out in Belfast watching a band with my friend, Les. When we got home, my wife showed Les some photographs from our holiday.. There were some pictures of her wearing just a thong on the beach.. He commentet that he'd love to see her wearing the thong in the flesh. She had been drinking and was very easy to persuade and she went upstairs and came down wearing just the thong... She posed for les and we took some pictures and then she sat on his knee and his hands were on her boobs and everywhere else... I didn't mind at all. She aske me if her and Les could go to the bedroom, but I just told her to have fun and went off to bed myself... I could hear them having sex downstairs and after about an hour, Les left. My wife showered and then came to bed. We discussed what had happened the following morning and decided to make this kind of thing a regular part of our marriage... It's been a lot of fun to share her with other men.

i talked my wife into posing for nude photos at an early age and always cherished them. She was very straight and expected the pics to be protected from others. Finally though in the early 80's i sent a photo of her to a men's masgazine and was astonished at the responses i got from guys wanting to see more. So i started sending them by mail to guys who requested them. Unfortunately she found out and her reaction was very upset and hurt. She is in her 60s and still looks hot.

I don't think it is a wise idea to show your friends your wife's nude pics especially without her consent. If you drive a kind of erotic pleasure by other people seeing your wife, then try to look into the desire. Find out what stimulates you and why you get stimulated by this though. By looking into your desires you will be able to find a lot of hidden secrets about your personality that might actually help your sex life improve. Try meditation for starters.

This Idea actually looka Good.
Sharing the wife Photo with our best friends does not mean that U r sharing Ur wife with them.

It just depends on both of u & Ur wife understanding.

I shared my wife spicy photos with 3 of my friends, they were realy shocked after seeing my wife soooooo beautiful.
They also tried the same and succeded wih their wifes and showed me their photos.
Our wifes also agreed for this.
Now we 3 families are very happy in our sexual life with a little bit of spice in it.

My husband wants to photograph me nude. I'm very uncomfortable with this idea. I'm not exactly sure why I'm so against it. May be I fear somebody might see those photos. Personally I would hate to see myself nude in a photograph. My husband, however, is feeling that by not letting him photograph me nude, I'm showing my dis-trust in him. I'm in a dilemma. Even though I strongly feel against it, I was not able to convey it in an effective way to my husband.
