Decoding hobbies for nude photos

The incident of hot photos of Jennifer Lawrence and many other stars stolen from iCloud accounts and posted online has sparked debate about privacy of Internet users. At the same time, many people also ask the question: Why do these stars do so?

The recent hot photo scandal of Hollywood stars has shown the popularity of nude social selfie behavior: According to a recent study by McAfee, up to 54% of Americans mature. Confessing to ever texting porn (sexting). The act of sending sensitive messages, photos or "hot" videos is very popular among 18-24 year olds, with 70% of people in this age group saying they have received at least one message like so.

But despite the obvious risks, why do people still do that? It is due to human instincts, experts say.

The desire to connect with the world is one of our basic needs , but everyday life often lacks physical connection - according to Dara Greenwood, professor of psychology at Vassar University, New York. Combined with the potential of modern technology, the nude selfie photos appear to be an inevitable trend.

"We feel our existence through being" seen "(both literally and figuratively) and respected, so there is always a desire to express ourselves through photos " - Professor Greenwood said - " In a sense, the widespread shooting and sharing of nude photos is being judged excessively. We take selfies simply because we have the right to do that ".

The marriage and family counselor, Emily Straubel, agrees with the idea, saying that sexting can be a positive way to express herself in relationships - as long as there are limits. set out earlier."The reason why we do these things is human instincts," Emily said. "It's not something too different. It's the people who motivated us to do it."

She also said that within the scope of the relationship, this behavior is completely acceptable. " I think a lot of people do not want to be too attached to their relationships. They cannot accept risks, so just stop at flirting."

When we see the entertainment stars doing that (taking nude photos), we are more inclined to take pictures of ourselves like that - again because of "basic instincts." human beings have existed before these modern technologies came into being, " said Professor Greenwood. Some people with specific characteristics are also more likely to be attracted to this trend, such as those who are pressured by fame (always wondering: "Am I an important person?", " Am I good enough? ") .

When people become too accustomed to looking at themselves from the outside, they may become too much interested in sex appeal - making themselves more susceptible to comments from others. This is especially true for sexting in adolescence - Professor Greenwood said. But actually, there is a boundary that separates sexiness and vulgarity. "A sexy selfie may not be something big, but a nude selfie is a real problem," she said.

Technology, created with the aim of uniting each other, can ultimately make people more and more alienated, accidentally creating a barrier to prevent us from really communicating. But because of the deep roots of human instincts, experts believe that this trend will continue in the future. Only thing you need to distinguish between sexiness and desire, between attraction and pornography!
