If you are under the age of 18, it is illegal for minors to send nudes of themselves EVEN to other minors because under the criminal code it is child porn. In addition, it is illegal to knowingly share someone’s nude photos without their consent at any age.

Yes, it can seem natural to ask for nudes if you’re talking to someone or in a relationship, however, if you are asking someone for the first time you need to consider:

How can I protect myself and my images?
