      Put effort in. Poses, lighting, some measure of a narrative. Use a decent camera instead of your phone’s front-facing camera with the flash on.

        A narrative? Like, “Not only am I naked, I’m on my way to… water the plants. They are thirsty, and so am I… In the background, dimly lit, you can see an ESP32 microcontroller… yup, that’s the kind of guy I am… oh my, I can do pulse width modulation with my bare hands…”

            Hi I am an autistic chick and yes, please, this would without a word of a lie 100% absolutely work on me.

              Got it, I will set my dating profile to me programming while naked. Ideally at 3 am, after a healthy diet of caffeine and chocolate and not having slept or showered for 48h. Surely that’ll attract all the hot, nerdy girls.

                I mean, sure maybe? The appeal is in someone sharing something they’re passionate about and taking the time to craft images to showcase it (and in a sexy way). If you’re putting effort into doing that, it’d probably work fine.

              Weird question, but I absolutely got rick rolled and then definitely scrolled through your posts and just have to ask, and hopefully this comes across well but, wtf do you do? Like not about the nsfw pictures but like, you’re in like a cabin, but have an electronics work bench for a CNC mill project, and then a (I presume work) friend sends you vault pictures?

              Sparky? EE? Hobbyist unrelated?

                Lol no problem - fudging some of the specific details, but I’m (until recently) a software developer specializing in research database applications, and I teach computer science on the side. The CNC and electronics in general are just hobbies that feed into other hobbies (who doesn’t love robots???), and the vault door was a photo from a dear old friend who works construction and knows of my love for the retro-industrial aesthetic.

                (Very curious where the idea I’m in a cabin came from, I think all my posts have been from when I was living in my regular boring old house!)

                  who doesn’t love robots???

                  Like combat robots?

                  Very curious where the idea I’m in a cabin came from

                  The wood workbench for the CNC cabinet sorta looks hand built and cabin like, and then the rest has a sort of background firewatch sorta older home aesthetic that made me think Cabin. The angles also made it look smaller/like it had less rooms than a house would, and things like the bar you were hanging off of also seemed a bit strange to just be in a regular house (like who just has a horizontal bar running from one side of an indiscriminate room to another sort of thing).

                  In hindsight I can see it being a house but thats what made me think it.

                  I think all my posts have been from when I was living in my regular boring old house!

                  And now you live in a boat off the coast of Costa Rica like many other digital nomads (Is what I am guessing based on this and the software developer part).

                    Antweight, yep! Though I just meant I own a lot of manufacturing robots, the antweight thing is just a coincidental hobby.

                    And now you live in a boat off the coast of Costa Rica

                    God, I wish. Software development pays really well… if you don’t have a specialization that shunts you into the public sector. And then you get laid off because of the political climate in the US.

                    who just has a horizontal bar running from one side of an indiscriminate room to another sort of thing

                    Hahaha, totally abnormal - it was real fun to think up an explanation for what it was when my mother just wandered into my room… and it was a real pain to install, let me tell you what. Makes sense about the cabin though, thank you for explaining! I just have access to a lot of 2x4s, hence the amount of wooden construction in the background…

              Ok, I have a question. Let me preface this by saying I’m actually not planning on sending nudes to anyone.

              Does it have to be that specifically, or are you looking for someone to incorporate their passion into sending you nudes? Like oh, I’m working on a motorcycle in my garage, but seem to have forgotten my clothes! Or I was sleeping nude and dreamed a nice riff so I ran to my music studio with instruments and controllers in the background! You can see I’m passionate about it by the acoustic treatment on my walls and delicate mood lighting that helps me get into a creative headspace. My dog is sitting in a chair behind me, judging me silently.

                So the above example is a bit of a special case since it appeals to me specifically because of my love for plants and automation.

                But in a slightly less specific niche, you’ve pretty much nailed it. Someone sending something personal that they’re passionate about is hot for a bunch of obvious reasons (passion, sexy naked people thinking about the composition of their photos) and someone sending something creative would be pretty unique in my experience, and it’d be really fun to think they put that much effort into showing off.

                  That’s interesting.

                  I hope many people who you find attractive (or if you’re monogamous then your person) send you those pictures to enjoy in response to your excellent answer!

          You joke but I’m being dead serious when I say that I’d enjoy it if someone sent something like that to me

          …I’d probably feel slightly lesser due to me struggling with coming up with something as creative as that

      Mirror selfies tend to be better than just pointing your phone at yourself, especially when you’re trying to show off your erection. If you want to get fancy, get some kind of stand/holder for your phone, point a lamp at yourself, try some poses. Wear something fancy and suggestive, leave some things to the imagination.

      There’s a woman on ig with multiple guides for this, actually. She posts a lot of them individually for free. Good shit.

      If you wouldn’t just randomly whip it out and smack it on the table in front of her IRL, if that’s not the relationship you have, you can probably safely assume you shouldn’t be sending her dick pics
