The art of sending nudes

You've got a bit of free time and feel like teasing your partner/crush? They're not nearby and you can't work your seductive charms in real time? If you're already used to sexting and fancy trying something different, nudes could become your new seduction weapon!

Discovering nudes while enjoying yourself

The idea of sending a nude photo is very tempting. You're already picturing the sensuality of the shot you intend to take. And the caliente thrill it's going to create in the person you're sending it to... You're sure they'll love it — let's go!

So, don't hesitate to give it a go. Not happy with your first shots? Don't put pressure on yourself — nothing obliges you to send a nude you're not comfortable with! Try different poses, slip into a lingerie set that makes you feel sexy... Use whatever might help you get a result that gives you confidence. The main thing is to have a positive view of your body. Don't aim for the perfect nude — aim for the nude that will make you feel at ease with your image!

Set the scene 

To get yourself in the mood, you can put on a muy caliente playlist! You can even create one specially for the occasion. Let yourself be carried away. The more spontaneous you are, the more pleasure you'll take in shooting your photos, and the hotter the result will be. Simply because you'll trust yourself without having to force the pose!

A little tip to get into sexy mode: dance! Imagine your crush is right there in front of you, and this is the moment to make their mouth water. Off you go — unleash your sexiest hip moves... Do it in front of a mirror, or not, whatever feels right, as long as you give it everything! Unless your neighbour is glued to their window staring in your direction, you've got nothing to lose. No one will be there to watch you.

Also think about preparing your shooting location! We've all seen selfies with a shocking detail in the background. A roll of toilet paper doing duty as tissues because... "oops, I didn't have time to do a click-and-collect order". Not a great look, and it risks ruining the caliente side of your nude.

You can also play with lighting. A pretty candle for a soft, dimmed glow and voilà... That birthmark, or those little stretch marks that make us self-conscious, disappear as if by magic! Let's not forget, though, that insecurities are natural, and that all those divine creatures parading across our Instagram feed also know how to present themselves in their best light. The perfect body doesn't exist, so go on — set aside those little things that bother you and get ready to turn up the heat!

And for a successful nude, bear in mind that it's better not to reveal everything. You can go for a crescendo! When imagination is part of the game, it's all the more exciting. For those with breasts, you could, for example, present them bare but hidden behind your hair, or lie on your back in some lace you love, with a slight arch to show off your curves without giving everything away in the first shot.

People with a penis are of course equally invited to make their partner dream with a few caliente photos! A T-shirt gently bitten between the teeth that reveals the chest with all its sensuality, a sheet artfully positioned to cover only your intimate parts, or an absolute nude, French rugby calendar vibes, with your plant as a fig leaf... There's nothing better to melt your partner's heart and make them smile... We certainly love it!

Nudes that stay private = panic attack avoided 

Who hasn't prepared a nude with that little inner voice whispering "hang on, what if it turns into revenge porn and my photo ends up everywhere?". A break-up that goes badly, a recipient you don't actually know that well, a hack... You can never be certain that "it'll stay between them and me".

Despite a slight disappointment at not living in a perfect world, and not being able to strike your hottest poses without wondering "is this really a good idea?", there are still a few handy tips to know in order to take as few risks as possible:

• While preparing our masterpieces, it's best to switch to aeroplane mode to avoid automatic syncing with your cloud. That'll save you from handing your phone to your little brother after buying a new one, having forgotten to block all access, only to hear something along the lines of "Hmm... I still had access to your photos"... Family dinners could quickly become (even more) awkward!

• You can also go for nudes where your face doesn't appear: a profile pose with your head turned away, or with your forearms covering your face (yes, yes, it can be done while still looking sexy, I promise) or simply a cropped photo! And off you go into incognito mode...

• And for a "fully secure" nude, you can also try concealing your piercings/tattoos or any other distinguishing feature that would allow someone to identify you at first glance... A loose, open shirt to hide a tattoo linked to your child (Oops, there aren't 40 Léos born on 11/07/2003, are there?), a shadow effect to conceal that one-of-a-kind piece you wear in your navel... Everyone has their own tricks, as long as you can't be recognised — if that's what you want.

• You also need to think about how you're going to send your sexy shots... My advice is to use encrypted apps (WhatsApp or Snapchat, for example). That way the photos won't be stored and potentially misused later. And a bottom that stays strictly between two people — yes please!

• And above all, don't forget to double- and triple-check the recipient... That'll save you from receiving a message from one of your contacts commenting on your gorgeous lace set, or the pose you went for!

Need inspiration for your nudes? 

I'd suggest taking a look at the Instagram accounts that are experts in the matter — I've put together a little selection of my favourites:

• @sergelehidalgo — muy caliente nude photos to inspire people with a penis on how to show off their body with great elegance

• @flavieeidel for a dose of body positivity that does a world of good!

You're now all set to turn your body into a true work of art and take shots worthy of the greatest photographers. Be creative, have fun, turn up the heat, and above all don't forget that nudes are about self-confidence, not a perfect figure! You don't look like all those silhouettes flooding Instagram with their infuriatingly flawless beauty? You know what, the models in those dream photos don't necessarily look like their shots in real life... It's all about finding the right pose to bring out your best features. The perfect body doesn't exist, so WHATEVER you do, don't hold back!
