Time to send some nudes!
Hellooo lovely readers of the Goddess Blog and welcome to another Saturday and another end-of-the-week-post that I have in store for you guys, today I will be sharing why I think that the time has come for me - and for you of course - to start sending some nudes to your partner! I fully believe that sending nudes is a fun way to interract, so be sure to read up what the Goddess has to say today - and as always, remember to reward your favorite Goddess with some lovely sips of coffee!
One of the interesting side effects of the Covid self-isolation measures is that people seem to be getting hornier. Maybe it’s a primal response to the anxiety of the moment, or a desire for human contact that has hardened into something more carnal. Perhaps it’s just the nice weather. But unless you’re quarantined with a regular or potential sexual partner, your options for having sex with another person are limited. Which leads me to my point: It’s a good time to take some nudes.
Whether you’re replenishing your stash or have free time and want to experiment with your living room’s flattering 2 p.m. lighting, now is the moment to take, and perhaps send, some naked photos. (Of course, you’ll first want to make sure the receiver wants to receive your photos.)
Below, the Goddess is offering her best advice on how to take a great nude, whether or not you own a full-length mirror.
1. The Power Of Lighting
Natural lighting is generally good, so if you have a room in your matchbox apartment that gets some sun in the afternoon, take advantage of it on your lunch break. If not, a well-placed desk lamp is very useful. My friend ‘‘Jane’’ suggests setting your light source up so it comes from a single angle, which means you can work more easily with shadows; ‘‘Annabelle’’, another friend, recommends two different light sources for further fine-tuning. Both lean toward using a warm (yellow-colored) light — “it’s more flattering and less clinical-looking,” Jane explains. (If you only have cool white light, try draping a thin colored scarf or blouse over it to change the tone.)
Also consider candles, which serve all of the above purposes and are useful if you’ve missed peak daylight hours. And two words: string lights. They create a similar effect as candles, and you don’t have to roll around nude near a naked flame.
2. Consider The Background
Avoid the following objects, which make for rather bleak milieu: toilets, trash cans, large piles of laundry, dirty dishes, and litter boxes.
What to include instead: books, candles, plants, clean furniture, exposed brick, attractive lamps. Props, too, are useful — think fruits, flowers, rope, a baguette; in general, the idea is not to distract but to enhance. That said, the nude is extremely subjective, and a lot depends on what you want to communicate. For passion, try a bitten lip and lacy bra. For indifference, maybe leave that pile of laundry in the shot. Adjust accordingly.
3. No Mirror?
So your only mirror is in your dingy little bathroom. It’s fine; mirrors are not necessary for an excellent nude. This is where the belly-flop nude comes in: You take it while lying on your stomach on your bed. It’s perfect if you’re a little bloated or sleepy.
Here’s what you do: Lie on your tummy and either bend your knees to push your butt up, or place a pillow under your thighs. The idea is to highlight the curve of your back and butt.
Another simple, mirror-free approach: Sit on the side of your bed (or a couch) and take the photo from above. It highlights the chest and thighs and is an easy option in terms of setup and execution. Take it completely nude, or with saucy undergarments.
There’s also the bathtub nude. This can be of anything! Take a photo of your knees, feet, legs, whatever. The way the water captures the light is very pleasing, and you can also use things like bubble bath to your creative advantage: Conceal and reveal to your heart’s content.
4. Yes Mirror?
Congratulations! Your nudes can take on a completely different dimension.
If your mirror is movable, lean it against the wall. Tilt it at a 70-ish degree angle: This will make you look longer and leaner. If you’re doing a full-body shot, Annabelle suggests placing one leg in front of the other to accentuate length. She also suggested “pushing one hip out to highlight curves and sharpen your waist”; a half-turn “to show off the butt,” she says, is an easy and elegant pose, and useful if you’re trying to camouflage a tummy rumbling with beans.
5. Spontaneous Nude
While many people tend to default to staged nudes, there are also merits to taking a more spontaneous approach. I am a proponent of the in-the-moment nude, which involves sending one as (somewhat) of a surprise.
The excitement of taking a photo at random, and the response from a delighted receiver, is the most titillating part of taking nudes: There’s something thrilling about an ‘in-the-moment’ nude — a fresh pic — rather than a stock nude on your phone.
That said, I advise that there should, ideally, be a satisfying lead-up to the photo — “a dramatic arc,” e.g., saucy texts, flirting, etc. — beforehand. This kind of exchange can also help you ensure that the person actually wants to see the photo.
The spontaneous nude generally requires you to slip into a bathroom or unoccupied room; you can take the photo from an angle slightly above your head, exposing cleavage. Or, consider taking a straight-on shot of your boobs, which you can grasp in a sort of single-hand-bra for volume.
That is itttt for today’s post guys and gals! Guys, be sure to show your ladies today’s post and who knows - maybe they surprise you with a nude later today :))
Goddess is outtt, have a beautiful weekend ahead of you guys, catch you all on Monday!
