I walked to work today, at a print shop. One of my classmates who gets stuff printed there had taken a nude photo of his girlfriend and was showing it to my supervisor. He asked if I’d want to take a look. I was like, “Nah, man!” I tried to play it off because I wasn’t sure how to act, but the guy just creeped me out. I don’t think his girlfriend knows that he’s sharing her picture.

Sexual Exploitation

Sharing pictures between partners can be a form of intimacy for when you cannot be near them. However, a partner consenting to share those sensitive photos with you does not mean they are okay with you sharing them with other people. Even if they were okay initially with taking the picture/sharing it with you, that does not extend to other people. Consider the feelings of the person in the photos before sharing any sort of sexual content. Would you feel confident distributing/sharing pictures of someone if they were in the same room as you? Nonconsensually distributing sexual photos of someone else is a form of sexual exploitation and violates Section XIII.G.3.a.iii of Title IX.
