Should I give my ex-girlfriend back all her nude photos?

give them back. it's her who's naked and doing personal things to you, respect her wishes and give them back. You could say you want the ones where your in too, but I wouldn't bother keeping the ones with just her in. its against her personal wishes and the thought of you having her photos must be making her feel uncomfortable and paranoid that you'll do something with them. even if you say you want.

I don't get why your getting protective of them. put yourself in her position. would you like knowing your ex had personal photos of you? would you like not knowing if they'd done something to them, even if they said they hadn't.

Her request for them back shows concern for what you might do with them.
I think the best thing to do would be to give her the files and tell her you really want to keep a couple of printed photos because of the private sentimental value. It might help your case if you show her which ones you want to keep and try to select ones that are more classy, less trashy. Tell her it was a special moment in your life too. Just talk to her about it and explain why you want to keep them (so that she doesn't think you want to post them on the web, show them to your friends, jack off to them etc). If she understands this is about remembering your relationship she will be more willing and trusting of your keeping them.

Personally I would think it creepy as if I knew my ex was wackin it to old pics of us. But then again they are your memories too. I have never really thought of this dilemma from the guys perspective, so I'm glad you brought it up. Maybe try handing over copies, but ask her if she minds, whether she says yes- or- no make the decision YOURS in the end.

I agree with Jarett. I also can't believe thee extreme you went to over these pictures. It's a bit ridiculous. You should dispose of the pictures and don't make any copies. You were brave enough to take the pictures in the moment don't be so paranoid about the pictures getting out of your hands or hers. You were idiotic enough to process this. Taking nude pictures, so use your head to store the memories and the same goes with her. If she doesn't want to garbage them then just give them to her. You wanted to do it stop whining about it. Don't be ignorant. There are usually consequences to everything we do. It's not a big deal. That's why you have a brain. Especially something so lusty I doubt you'd forget something like that. If you don't want these pictures anywhere else what's the point of keeping them? Why take the pictures anyway? Ugh. Both of you should have thought about the risks and consequences BEFORE you took the pictures. Nice job for both of you almost screwing yourself.

Don't give them to her, you don't want your goods out there for the world to see either! But if you start dating someone who you really care about and want to marry DEFINITELY destroy the ones you have. If your new hottie ever came across them or even knew you had them it would make her feel self conscious and insecure. Like SHE isn't enough for you so you have to have pictures of your ex(s). (Even if you are only keeping them because you feel the "photography" or the "form" is beautiful) I personally think its skeezey and wouldn't want my man to have pics of his nude ex(s).

Maybe you don't need to give her back everything. Keep your copies (i would) whether they really are for your own keepsakes or if you may "happen" to show them to someone. But at least give her what she's entitled to.

Have you ever thought this girl wants the photo's back to remember you by ? Just like you want them to remember her ?

Contrary to many of the girls who answered. I don't see the big deal in keeping them. It doesn't make you childish or degrade your integrity, like AlwaysClassy said, you cared enough to ask us our opinions. That's notable. It shows that you do care for the feelings of the girl involved. So that should be the issue. You say the two of you are still close friends so discuss with her that these pictures hold sentimental value and assure her that they are completely private. If after that, she still feels insecure about you having them then you should consider what you want to do with the pictures. If having the pictures is going to ruin the good friendship that the two of you share, are they worth it? That's for you to decide. If you decide to keep them and there are bitter feelings between you two then do they still hold sentimental value? I'd like to restate that you should have a calm talk about what they really mean to you with your friend. I think the reason she wants them back is due to fear that they wouldn't be confidential anymore. Reassure her that the pictures are a personal aspect of BOTH of your lives that you have no wish to make them public.

Yeah this is exactly why girls should not do dumb crap like this. You are not kim kardashian - it's not going to make you famous, you will just end up in situations like this. Actually, you seem like a nice guy for even asking this question, most guys would have had that on the internet right after she left your room

I think you should give her back the pictures. She only did it because you were in the confines of the relationship. She has more to lose than you.

Like people have said, TECHNICALLY they are your photos, but you also need to think about how she feels. Yes, she did put herself at risk by taking them, but if you genuinely cared about her you would respect her wishes and delete them honestly. Don't tell her you deleted them and save them -- DELETE them. At least then you can be happy knowing you were honest with her and did as she asked of you.

Give her copies of them. I'm pretty sure those pictures were taken with your camera, so technically and legally they're yours. It's just like if you took pictures of you two together and you weren't doing anything sexual, they're still your pictures and she's still in them either way. I know there's a possibility that you will use them against her, but she should have thought about that before she posed and let you take those pictures in the first place. Just give her copies and let her do whatever she wants with them. If she has those pictures she can just as easily use them against you. Why should she be the only one who has all the memories? You're allowed to have the memories as well.

Do what you want. Just keep in mind you may not want to show them publicly but she might want to. She could give them to her next boyfriend and that may be what she wants them back for. Then again she might just want them as a memory. If she wants them back just don't giver her any of you in it so she can't embarrass you or something else bad

Give them back its the right thing to do.

Look, she made those pictures with you when you were together and now your not. If I was the girl I would be beyond pissed if you chose not to turn everything over, because... I'm mostly asking you to give them back because I DON'T want you to whack off to them anymore. Seriously, knowing you are keeping them just indicates that you want to look at them in the future and that's kind of creepy. Your not together anymore and if I were in that situation I wouldn't want to be your stimulus anymore. Keeping them is pretty selfish. Unless it was a picture of your first time, I don't see how it can be a sentimental thing - at all. I mean you have other pictures of the two of you right? So either you want it to stimulate yourself with later or you want it to be more of a check mark on your bed post. Either way you have no way of spinning this in a positive way.
