Ooooh aren't you fancy? But digital cameras are curse on the world of photography. People take careful, decent photos when they know they've only got 24 exposures. If they know they've got unlimited they get snap-happy and take a load of stupid pictures. And seeing people's holiday snaps are week-long affairs with digital because they've taken so bloody many.

Where in the bible does it say not to show your nakedness to someone who is not your spouse? (I can't find it)

There is this guy who keeps asking me to send him pictures of myself. I keep telling him no, but he won't leave me alone about it. I want to send him the verse about it so he will hopefully stop.

Whatever medium you are using to communicate with this person there are things you can do to simply end it, if it's a phone then get a new number and guard the new one carefully, if it's email you can block his address, if you don't know how make the effort to find out.

If he keeps coming back it seems clear he won't be reasoned with, he probably knows it's wrong but wants the pictures and so has made his peace with the fact that it's wrong and has decided to embrace his desires anyway, so don't waste anymore time trying to convince him, you likely won't succeed.

If you say no but continue to communicate he will, in his own way, take that as encouragement to continue asking, because from his viewpoint it will seem like you are saying no all the time but if you were really that against it you wouldn't keep responding to him.
 
Thank you Mathew. I think i've given up in trying to convince him though. But he also hasn't bothered me today.
I know how to delete his e-mail's and everything, but I just don't know how to block him.. that's my problem. if you know how to block people on windows messenger, i would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me how. xD

I don't know how to do that but I'd reccommend you look at the account settings or help section, it's probably in there somewhere as I imagine this is a common problem on services like that, after all lots of creeps use social sites to pray on people these days, that's the scary side of the internet.

I like your little poem :) Maybe you should that to him

I think you just need to right click on his name in the contacts list and there should be an option for block.

.... why could I not figure this out on my own? I feel so stupid now....

That's a great question. I don't think it's wrong to get naked in front of someone who is not your spouse. I do, however, this it's wrong to get naked in front of just anyone. Let me clarify. Who you can and cannot get naked in front of varies by culture. I saw an anime (that is, Japanese animation) movie where a single father is taking a bath with his two daughters. There's nothing weird about that for them, which is why they put it in a kids movie. We're pretty private in our culture. We like to avoid being naked in front of anyone except someone we're being sexually intimate with. And as you know, for Christians, sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage.

I think the Isrealites weren't big on nudity because of how Noah got drunk and fell asleep naked and his sons had to enter his tent walking backwards so they could cover him up without looking at him. There isn't a lot in the Bible and how physically intemiate one can get away with being outside of marriage, because the whole idea that men and women who weren't married or family would be physically close enough to even hold hands is pretty unlikely.

But Jesus said that if a man looks at a woman lustfully it's as bad as sleeping with her, so it's pretty clear that should mean that men shouldn't be looking at pictures of naked women.

Who the heck is this person? Why don't you just block him? I'd cut off a guy who asked for hassled me for pictures. I'm pretty strict about only sending one picture. I have a very clear head shot that I use for internet dating. If they want to see more of me, they'll have to see me in person. If they start demanding a full body shot, even if it's of me in a snow suit, then they're clearly not someone I'm interested in getting to know. I mean, I can tell them my height and weight, and that should suffice.
