Do you have naked or intimate photos of your partner?

And I don’ mean in your phone or in a disk or SD card. I’m talking about old scholl prints.

I have one picture of my partner I was allowed to take - being camera shy makes things harder - that I later had printed.

It’s not raunchy, it’s not provocative, it’s not even a sexy picture. It’s just my partner allowing me to see and record for posterity a private moment. A moment of ours.

I keep that picture in a book and, being an erotica fan, it’s one of those books. I use that picture as a marker, so all my readings start and end with a look at the person I love.

How about you? What’s your naughty private story?

    Yeah, I have a few.

    Here’s the funny thing. They aren’t of my wife. They’re of an ex. An ex that my wife is also friends with.

    I’ve had the incredible luck of being able to date people that aren’t assholes. So the breakups were mostly pleasant, mutual realizations that they had run their course.

    This particular ex, she gave me the photos, I didn’t take them. She was a hobby photographer and took her own, back before digital photography was really a thing even most pros had. Had her own darkroom.

    When we broke up, I forgot about them. They were in a box of her stuff, and we never remembered it when we’d meet up. The box eventually got shoved into a closet and stayed there for years.

    It wasn’t until my wife moved down here, and I was introducing her around (before we married even), and she was having way too much fun swapping stories with the friends that are also exes. This particular friend mentioned the pictures, and even showed her copies of them.

    I got a little flustered because how the hell do you navigate that? Tell the ex you forgot naked pictures of her, implying they were forgettable? And what if it was a problem for my new girlfriend/fiancee? Do I say I’m going to trash them, give them back to the ex, what? There’s really no way to know ahead of time how it’s going to end up.

    So, I tried my best to be honest and apologetic, and it worked out lol. They poked a little fun at me for getting flustered. The ex said we could do whatever we wanted with any of the stuff in the box. My wife said she was going to take them and put them in an album. And she did. It’s sitting on the bookshelf in our bedroom.

    Now, there is a plan for a photo shoot with my wife, who did some modeling back before she had a kid. If it does happen, I assume I’ll be allowed to see the pictures, and maybe even have a printed copy. I have digital pics of our own, but it would be cool to have actual prints too.
