Women send naked photos to men ‘out of obligation’, study finds

But some say they ‘were feeling good about their bodies, wanted to initiate sex, or wanted to explore their sexuality remotely’

The study probed women about why they chose to send nudes

Women often send naked photos to men due to feeling socially obliged to do so, according to a new study.

Research, conducted by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, found more than a third of those polled said they deemed sending nudes to be “an obligation or inherent part of being in a romantic relationship.”

The study, which probed women about why they chose to send nudes, unearthed a range of responses which included their partner asking them to do so, or because they were far away from each other.
