That Time I Sent Naked Pictures of Myself To A Man I’ve Never Met in Order To Get A Shag
We’ve all done it, haven’t we? Sent a picture of our boobs to a man we’ve never met. Well. Actually. Until Friday night I hadn’t, actually. But I’m assured by the results of an informal poll amongst my more slutty friends (Calum) that it’s like, a totally normal thing to do.
I was four drinks in. And eyeing-up a 21 year-old at the bar. And thinking inappropriate thoughts that no matter how many times I said to myself this is not real emotion, you are horny because your period is due and you always dry hump table legs when your period is due and just whilst I’m here, addressing this issue, SINGLE LADIES OF THE INTERNET! Does this happen to you, too? The pre-period horn? Because now I don’t do casual sex anymore I really don’t know how to control those urges and Too Much Information, readers? I HAVEN’T EVEN STARTED YET.
I was drunk. Horny. Aware that I recently got the Tinder app and if I really wanted to, I could arrange a shag within about twenty minutes.
So… I did.
Tinder is basically boy shopping: lots of people look very good in the best picture they’ve got of themselves, but generally have very dull conversation that either goes along the lines of “DTF?” or “Hi. How are you?” YAWN! I CAN’T ANSWER EITHER QUESTION BECAUSE I FELL ASLEEP I AM SO BORED.
(Actually, there was one magical alchemy of a date with a Tinder boy who shouldn’t be reading this, and Hi! If you are, it is without my permission and now you know that I send boob pics to strangers and well. This is why I haven’t told you about this website. Knowing all this is all absolutely your own fault, you Google stalker, you.)
I scrolled through the “matches” I had stored, and saw a black and white picture of a cutie who’d been provocative when he messaged last week.
What are you doing tonight? said I.
This is my number, said he.
Now, this is where it all gets a bit censored because I’m already flagged as NSFW on many work servers on account of the fact that I say vagina quite a lot. Long story short: we established that no, I didn’t have any other girlfriends who might like to get involved. I’ve never had a three-way, he said, which d’uh. Nobody has ever had a three-way, not as many as you think, anyway, because your porn is lying to you. You’ll have to become a man a different way.
Are you a dom? he said, which FFS. I JUST WANT TO GET MY END AWAY, WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS SO CHUFFIN’ COMPLICATED?
And then came the request. Send me a picture.
Well. That’s a lot more tricky than you’d think. Rihanna makes it look so easy. It’s not. Not if you’re over a size 6 and want to maintain any anonymity. And how does one send a dirty photo message anyway? I’ve always avoided it because one day I will be famous, and I don’t want some grainy, drunken picture message I sent ten years ago haunting me in the Daily Mail when I’ve got kids.
I was bending and contorting in front of the mirror with various lighting effects and angles and poses and all the while I was getting frustrated and a bit tired and suddenly sex with a stranger didn’t seem as exciting as a wank and a nap did because: love handles.
I tried putting different filters and contrasts on my tit pic, all the while TERRIFIED I’d accidentally Instagram the image to the world, and in the end plucked for a half boob/half face “artistic” shot that could have been anybody, really.
I ummmmed and ahhhhed for ages about whether I really wanted to send it, and cringed as I did. Your turn, I said, already feeling dirty, but not the good dirty. The so over this dirty that made me feel gross and a bit ashamed.
I got a picture back and urm. I can’t talk about it.
I want a full body shot he said, which I knew he would. With my libido mildly piqued by his… throbbing… interest, I obliged. But again, it took me about thirty minutes, sixty-three different photos and a quick Laura-on-Laura pep talk that you are a woman. This is totally fine. You have needs, and you are beautiful, and people do this all the time.
It… it wasn’t fine. I freaked out. I freaked out, and then sent the picture, and then realised I was bored, then went to bed, and when I woke up in the morning I got my period and deleted his message and basically I just never want to talk about this again, okay? Okay.
