Why do girls take nude pictures of themselves?

Ok lots of girls my age at my school take nude pictures of themselves and send them to guys. I've been asked heaps of times to do it but will not because I think it is degrading to have guys showing them around. I'm wondering why girls do this? Do they...

do it for the attention? Because do they not know that they only take notice of you for a while. What is the facination of a guy having a nude picture of you? Why would girls want that? Even girls that are younger than me take them!!

Because it gives guys a cheap thrill, it gives them power over the girl and they show them to their friends because it makes them look cool to their mates.

Girls also do this because they think a guy may finish with them if they dont, they think (mistakenly) that the boy will keep it private and they just want to may the boy happy.

Guys of this age group WILL show these pics to their friends 99% of the time, no matter how much they deny it. It is human nature for guys of this age to boast.

It also allows them to blackmail the girl if they ever break up.

Because their stupid

but do girls (some aged 13) not realize how cheap and easy it makes them look?

and it is just desperate if that is their way of keeping their boyfriend. what is in it for the girl though? besides her guy staying with her for a little longer?

yes I know that guys would show them, they like boasting.

Maybe it makes them feel sexy and they're just reacting to hormones that they just got. They don't realize how skanky/slutty/cheap/easy it makes them look because that's why they're doing it. Later, they will realize the mistake they made and wise up. Of course guys are boasting because they have nude photos of girls they know.

They really like the attention they get from boys. Boys are attracted to girls who take naked pictures, which is sick. You made a good choice kid

because its a huge turn on
