@Viper God it's fucking weird being ace and not understanding these kinds of social norms. I feel like a computer that's missing essential software lmao
No, I don’t think so....while in some circumstances it might be a sexually charged thing, it isn’t necessarily the case. We’ve taken vacations and shown swimsuit pics to the family, which definitely isn’t a sexually charged thing. On the other hand, someone sending a bikini/swimsuit pic to someone they were interested in might carry that kind of an overtone.
Depends. If it's a guy sending a bikini pic of his mom, then it's weird. If you're sending a bikini pic of yourself to someone who is in hospital after receiving 3rd degree burns on 70% of their body, then it's a bit tone deaf.
Honestly, you used to post some odd pics when we first exchanged snap usernames, but they weren’t directed at anyone personally so I didn’t think much of it back then.
Well, if it only goes to friends you are interested in or like, yes. If you post it for all your friends, then no. Why dont you go out with someone to shop with you?
@BlueMetalChick Well even so... if you posted something like "hey I am at the beach today, woot woot" it seems like you would be in a swimsuit or bikini? It would look odd in jeans and a hoodie. I wouldn't think you were trying to get a rise out of me other than jealousy of not being at the beach.
@BlueMetalChick Again, depends. If you sent it to me with like "do I buy purple or blue?" - not weird. If you sent it to me saying something like "lookit muh boobs" and we didn't have a joking relationship, then maybe. But given that I am a joking/mischievous person maybe I'm the odd one where I don't take it seriously? 🤷
Counterpoint - if you had sexual charged convos/advances that I didn't reciprocate and I made it clear, then that would be an exception.
Idk, the whole thing seems tempest in a teapot to me given our chances of bumping uglies are miniscule so it's hard for me to really take it that sort of situation too seriously.
I think it depends on your relationship with the person. I send nude or semi nude non-sexual selfies to people I know are comfortable with it (consent is a must). Not to get them aroused or or anything, just hey here I am chilling and way to lazy to put n pants.
@Thespis I guess to expand on that thought, everyone sees what they want to see. Is a bikini sexual, well depends on the person viewing it. Some people find a foot pic sexual, but it shouldn't change how you treat a cute pair of sandals. Some people see bikinis as sexual, some nudity, I can see nudity as just skin, a body, normal and human. Rock what you want to rock, be comfortable, and if they're the ones sexualizing, that's their problem.
@BlueMetalChick Maybe just check with them? I'm sure lots of people will give you feedback if you want, I like to have a group on snap know is cool with that kind of thing, and then know who isn't and just send stuff to the right people.
If it's out of the blue it would seem a bit weird. Some people find swimsuits to be sexually charged, though I don't really. The rarity of people sending swimsuit pics around probably helps add to that possibility of it being viewed as sexually charged
