I think the most important thing is whether or not the two parties are happy with each other, and in a loving and fulfilling relationship. With that being established between the two, I personally wouldn't find it a big deal in keeping pictures of previous partners. That, and yes, as RooRshack said, it depends on the girl and the situation. I actually still have revealing pictures of certain HF members who used to be active on here years ago. These people(with the exception of one, who was one of my exes) and I weren't romantically involved, although, we'd flirt a little bit back in the days. There was this one beautiful lady I flirted mildly with, with consent from her husband. Actually, the husband was who I became friends with first, lol. She sent me her pictures one day saying she trusted me enough with the revealing images. Those pictures, I've never shared, and never will. Certainly not without her permission. Respect is the key thing here in my opinion.
Because the act of having sex is beautiful and arousing, especially if the image is of you and a partner. Memories of that amazing feeling are brought back, you get to look at your own partner's body, it's personal, you can produce pictures of things you're into, it's real, it's a treasured memory, it's fun, the act of being taped can be hot as part of the sex act...number of reasons.
I gotta say Respect for keeping a poker face and giving her back the phone! I guess it depends on how YOU feel about it. I know I wouldnt be super fond of stumbling upon a picture of my girl with another shlong in her mouth, but I'd probably get over it. I'd be curious as to how old the pictures are though. Don't want her 2-timing you now! But apart from that, if you yourself would want to keep those kind of pics, then judging her on that wouldnt be fair. To each their own!
Sounds like only one of you are having an issue with the photos... and if she didn't want you to see them, she would've done something about it. Maybe she feels really comfortable around you and has a different view on you than you think. The only part that is weird about it, is the fact that it wasn't a boyfriend... but if she doesn't have an issue with it, she probably wouldn't understand why you would! Definitely an interesting scenario. My man and I have seen a lot in these wonderful 5 years together... and we're still standing strong. Communicate with her and then make some decisions! If she actually really likes you and wants to make things work, then you should be able to talk about it! Asking others for advice is useless sometimes in delicate situations like this, because no-one will truly understand your relationship but you guys. In the mean time, have fun with your wild woman! :2thumbsup:
