Naked pictures of your wife/girlfriend

[Wildswanderer]

Your own, your muffin, for your eyes, those words imply she and her body are yours and not hers. It was never your muffin. It's hers and hers alone.

Not in a biblical marriage.
4 The wife’s body does not belong only to her. It also belongs to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong only to him. It also belongs to his wife.1 Corinthians 7:4

That is unacceptable. Especially when we draw this out consider women are to submit to their husbands.

@Wildswanderer
Also I have no shame. I love my body and respect it quite a lot. I find it funny you think me feeling taking photos of myself is disrespectful to myself cuz if I had no self respect I would likely hate my body. In reality I felt confident enough to send such pics

I wish I had that sort of confidence and self-love.

Im in a love hate relationship lol. Both confident and dysphoric at times. But I do feel my body is a blessing and even if i feel gender dysphoria at times it's still beautiful and it's still mine.

@Shadow Wolf sometimes I do hate my body. But either way it's still mine and I can own it.

The other issue is why are people so stupid as to send each other naked pictures of themselves?
I think that equals lack of self respect.

Or maybe they're comfortable and confident with their bodies? Not everyone sees sexuality/nudity as something dirty and shameful. That's a cultural thing.

That's fine for those who believe in and desire a "biblical marriage".

For me it's not just gender dysphoria, but also things like my bowed shins, IBS, and fibromyalgia.

Valid. But you still are beautiful and unique. Even if your body does cause problems. It's actually amazing your body is that it's been able to put up with such pain, and issues. Probably doesn't help tho to think that after all it doesn't erase the pain. But to me it's amazing.

And vice versa which is what a healthy relationship is, otherwise you just have two selfish people going separate ways.

Biblically speaking marriage is not a two way street. Women submit to their husband. That is how the Bible says a marriage should be.

You obviously missed some verses. Some people forget that this one comes first:
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
Or they skip or don't understand this:
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."

So we are talking literally being willing to die for your wife. Who has the greatest sacrifice? It should be equal.

Does "your wife" imply ownership?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

I'd hate being married to a Bible. For one thing, I don't think a lot of people would want to see nude pictures of it...

Does "your wife" imply ownership?

Does "your dad"?

The Greek translation is actually have power/authority not ownership. It actually applies to the sexual relationship and the right of each spouse which are exactly the same.

Greek to English does not translate well.It can be misinterpreted.

A wife does not “have the right or license” (exousiazō) to choose to become celibate (or have sex with someone other than her spouse) because her husband has an exclusive right to have sex with her.
Likewise, a husband also does not “have the right or license” (exousiazō) to choose to become celibate (or have sex with someone other than his spouse) because his wife has an exclusive right to have sex with him.
A husband and wife should give themselves, their bodies, to each other, and only to each other, in an exclusive relationship . However, some Christian wives and husbands in Corinth were making vows of celibacy as a demonstration of ascetic piety; some were making this vow without the mutual consent of their spouse so Paul spoke on it,
Other Corinthian Christians were promiscuous. Like many port cities of the ancient world, the city of Corinth was known for its sexual immorality. Immorality was also a problem within the Corinthian congregation

A healthy relationship is about equal collaboration and mutual respect.

Easy, next time it happens just tell the guy that the photos his wife sent to you are better.

I've been married twice and have had plenty girlfriends throughout my life.

I never took pictures of them naked because the only picture(s) I needed were in my mind.

With that said I had a friend show me naked pictures of his current girlfriend he has on his cell phone(had this has happened several times with different people and even of their wife).

My question... if you took pictures of them, why would you show your buddies? To me that's disrespectful and degrading to the woman, maybe even broke her trust of you.

Edit...
Let me add... They always say you can't tell.
So in reality they know its wrong

I don't have a problem with nudity or even taking pictures of such, but I would never show them to others.

A healthy relationship is about equal collaboration and mutual respect.

Which always results in submitting to the will of the other at times. It's not workable otherwise.
