When women take naked photos or videos for (or with) their significant others, they aren't doing so expecting them to wind up in the hands — or eyes — of other people.
They're doing it because it's fun, sexy, and exciting to share with their SO's.
Unfortunately, there are some assholes out there (mainly dudes) who think it's OK to share naked photos of their girlfriends with others, without permission.
In a recent Reddit thread, a bunch of bros revealed whether they do this. Here, six of them try to make a case for *why* they do it.

"I'm having a hard time thinking of any guy friend that has nudes that HASN'T shown them to at least one other buddy."
"I'm having a hard time thinking of any guy friend that has nudes that hasn't shown them to at least one other buddy," said tortoli. "The ones that I know don't engage in this is because they don't have any to show." (Or maybe, because they know it's a shitty thing to do.)
"I would imagine that this behavior wanes off as we grow older/become more serious with our girls," he continued, "but unfortunately for now, this is the reality I've witnessed."
"I used to sometimes, when I was in my teens/early twenties."
"I used to sometimes, when I was in my teens/early twenties," said h-cho. "I was an asshole. I don't anymore because it's kind of fucking rude."
(Yeah, kind of.)
"Sometimes, if it (or you) was exceptionally hot, or something interesting happened."
"Generally not," said beetnemesis, "but sometimes, if it (or you) was exceptionally hot, or something interesting happened. Also a little more likely if you're just someone from the past, compared to an active relationship."
(I guess the moral of the story is to never break up with anyone, ever.)
"It's the kind of guys who like to gloat about their sexual conquests."
"For the most part, between my different groups of friends, only a few guys have shared pictures/videos," said dapavinator.
"Mostly it's the kind of guys who like to gloat about their sexual conquests. Personally, I don't think I've shared anything, but I do keep all of them, encrypted on my computer."
(You don't *think* you've shared anything?)
"We do share stuff from girls/females we know."
"We have this rule in my group of friends where we don't share stuff from the girls we're dating," said roel210, "but we do share stuff from girls/females we know."
(Most of us females don't appreciate that.)
"The less a guy respects a girl, the more apt he is to share pics."
"Fuck yeah, guys share," said OMGImTriggered (interesting username, buddy). "I've had friends show me so many nudes. Women don't seem to understand [that] if you send out a nude, there is a pretty good chance it's been seen by other people." (Way to blame it on women, bro.)
"I've noticed," he added, "that the less a guy respects a girl, the more apt he is to share pics. [Like,] 'check out this girl I've been messing around with.'"
