My partner is requesting me to take intimate image
Affirm your will
Listen to your inner voice and evaluate the risks such as the credibility of your partner, network security, etc.
If you don’t want to take intimate images, we encourage you to say no and explain your concerns to your partner, or refuse the request on the grounds that you are not in a good state. Alternatively, you may suggest filming intimate images for your partner so that they may be discouraged after being put in your own shoes.
Communicate clearly with your partner
If you consider taking intimate images, you may first reach consensus with your partner on the purpose of the images, the means of storing the images, storage duration, viewing rights, etc. You may further suggest to your partner that if either of you requests for deletion, the other one should also do the same. Remember, communication does not imply distrust or that you don’t love each other. Rather, transparent communication improves mutual understanding and intimacy, and reduces future misunderstanding.
Exercise caution when storing the intimate images. We recommend saving the images in confidential applications or encrypting the files to reduce the risk of leakage.
Avoid taking photos that show your face or other personal features such as tattoos and birthmarks.
When removing the intimate images, take a further step than simply deleting the photos. Remove the photos from your “Trash” or “Recently Deleted” album, as well as the back-up copies on cloud storage space.
