For the geeks... a risk analysis of the nudie pic

Ok, so having been on MFP for about 10 months, it’s become clear that as a decent looking female, it’s inevitable that at some point you’ll get the request for nudie pics from someone. Lol
DISCLAIMER: No point in asking for nudies - I keep my nudies for my man
But it did get me thinking... I was thinking about how I am willing to post my abs, but not nudie shots, and why. (Purely analytical here – not talking sexually). I look at myself very analytically when I look in the mirror – very rarely do I look at any of my pics and go, “hey, that’s sexy”. In fact, more often than not I’ll go “ooh, my obliques look nasty there”, or “wow, does my belly button look odd”, or “ok, the abs look pretty fine there”, or "dear lord, lay off the chips"
But when it really comes down to it, I was curious as to why I have such an aversion (and yes I say aversion) to the nudie shots. So I decided to do a risk analysis.
Here’s where I went with this…
Say "you" ask for some “photographic art”.
Possible responses:
- you think they (the pics) are hideous. And say so. That would suck
Probability of that happening. 1/5 (you’re not mean!)
Severity if it does 5/5
Risk: 5
- you think they're hideous, but aren't mean, so you say they're nice... but I doubt.
P: 2
S: 2
R 4
- you think they're nice and say so, but I'll wonder if its true
P: 4
S: 2
R: 8
- you love em and say so, but I doubt
P: 3 <- a result of my poor self-esteem
S: 2
R: 6
- you love them, say so, and I believe you
P:2
S:1
R 2
So based on that analysis, I realized that the greatest risk is not that someone will hate my pics, and say so. The greatest risk is that I'll doubt the sincerity of that person’s response -- because I still doubt myself. I am confident in my abs, and shoulders. The rest… well I need to work on my confidence there.
The risk doesn't lie in another person's perception of me. It turns out that whether they hate it or love it doesn't even really factor into the risk equation.
The fact of the matter is that simply, it is all on ME. MY perception of ME. I am my own worst enemy.
Interesting. Or at least, it's interesting to me!
NOTE: this is not a call to men to offer to help me with my confidence level!

I doubt myself all the time.

I agree with your Risk Assessment. This sentence here sums it up nicely. "The fact of the matter is that simply, it is all on ME. MY perception of ME. I am my own worst enemy."
I think a lot of us feel this way sometimes.0 -
This has been posted before. Or was it in a blog? Regardless, are you the original author?0

Sorry. I owe you still. And Brett. Shameful that I don't just have them set as my main image, really...0 -
Its not a risk its a certainty that some people will take the pictures and repost them on other sites of varying repute. In other words, you will end up on "femuscle" sites, etc......0

Yeah, I couldn't read all of that. Could you send me naked pictures?

All trimmed up front, but a big ugly shrub poking out from the backyard.

As a nude model, it's ALWAYS expected that my openness "will give them to anybody that asks". It is very frustrating sometimes. However, with me I am constantly thinking about how I look. Nude modeling requires you to work with you have, which is nothing but your body. As opposed to clothing, props, etc. While born a mesomorph, I'm not as tone as I'd LIKE to be to be a BETTER nude model. But I'm with you on just constantly having that wheel turning on WTF IS THATTTTTT.0
