Like it or not, sexting sending or receiving nudes is a form of sexual activity that should never involve pressure or guilting of any form. Experts say demanding explicit photos is a power play unhealthy partners use to see how much control they have over their partners. When you think about your relationship overall, do you feel like your partner is trustworthy and dependable?
Please think that there is something worse: Sometimes I feel the worst wife, mother and daughter. She will try to convert you. We have family prayer every day and read the scriptures occasionally.
