• The safety of sending nude pictures.

[00:00:11] Addressing a Listener Question

• Michelle addresses a listener's question about the safety of sending nude pictures and outlines the objective to discuss five strategies to potentially decrease the associated risks.

[00:00:48] Point 1: Consent and Agreement

• Michelle emphasizes the importance of discussing consent with the recipient of the photos.
• She highlights the need for an explicit agreement on how the pictures will be handled (e.g., whether they will be deleted or saved securely).

[00:01:08] Self-awareness and Pressure

• Michelle encourages self-reflection on the motivations behind sending such photos, and whether one is acting out of their own desire or external pressure.
• She mentions the possible anxiety that may arise if one is sending pictures under pressure.

[00:01:36] Point 2: Anonymity

• Michelle suggests ensuring that the pictures do not include identifiable features, such as face, tattoos, birthmarks, or distinct jewelry, to maintain anonymity.

[00:02:13] Point 3: Trust

• Michelle discusses the importance of trusting the recipient, ideally someone known well.
• Have an understanding  about what will happen to the pictures if the relationship ends.

[00:03:04] Point 4: Secure Storage

• Choosing a secure, password-protected storage option and being mindful of potential family sharing plans that could expose the pictures to unintended viewers.

[00:03:31] Point 5: Legal Considerations

• Michelle underscores the importance of being informed about the age of consent and the laws regarding sending explicit photos in one’s jurisdiction, as there can be legal consequences.

[00:04:32] Final Takeaway and Conclusion

• Michelle concludes by reiterating the two primary options for reducing anxiety when considering sending explicit photos: either ensuring complete anonymity in the photo or opting not to send any photos at all.
• She emphasizes that both decisions are valid.
