Listen up boys! This is how you take a good nude, from the girls that want them

We girls often lament how boys nudes are just never as good as ours. Cocky? No. Just the truth. Boys don’t know how to take male nudes, and girls nudes are a work of art. There is effort, time and love put into those nudes. Getting the right lighting, self timer, breaking your back just to get an angle that makes the booty really… pop? You know? The Mona Lisa took less time than a girl’s average nude taking session lasts, and that’s a historical fact. Don’t look it up it’s not necessary just keep reading.

But boys, as much as we adore you – you have no idea what you’re doing. You just whip out the peen and snap away, leaving the flash on so it looks like a crime scene, not taking any care of your surroundings (oh wow he eats crisps in bed) or the boxers you’re wearing (paisley print is a no).

I’ve moved mountains (mirrors and small items of furniture) and parted rivers (my legs) for a good nude shot and you can’t even turn the flash off? I’m upset. It’s time to start doing better. So I asked a bunch of girls what they truly absolutely love to receive from boys when it comes to Close Encounters of the Nude Kind.

‘Naked mirror selfies’

Harriet, 20

‘Proper upwards angle of their body, which shows chest and arms. Like hellooooo fitty’

Molly, 19

‘Not a big fan of the dick. Abs, arms and bums, yes please.’

Kristina, 23

‘Mirror selfies with their big fat knob on show’

Eleanor, 22

‘Fave angle is from the balls, I guess that’s a frontwards angle if they’re lying down, like you were looking at them from that direction’

Josie, 21

‘I like a good topless pic where you can see just a bit of the dick but not all of you know – tease me a little’

Lola, 19

‘All I want is a whole body mirror pic, legs included, but apparently that is weird to ask for’

Kit, 21

‘I love a cheeky wanking vid!’

Rose, 20

‘I honestly adore watching them cum on camera, gets me off so much knowing that it’s because of me’

Phoebe, 22

‘Good lighting – like why can’t men grasp this concept? Show off that dick in style baby’

Allie, 23

‘I love a guys back and thighs, I think they underestimate how sexy pictures of other parts of their body can be’

Immie, 20

‘I would rather see a boy’s torso area than their wanger’

Dandy, 22

‘I’d rather see the outline than a full dick. Like a torso pic in boxers with the dickprint showing, and some nice ‘v lines’. God I love a good v line.’

Kim, 21

‘They always do dick pics from their perspective, I want to see it from behind, there’s more banjo string on show and I love that!’

Saph, 21

‘Always include hands in dick pics, I have such a thing for sexy man hands, they’re half of the appeal!’

Bella, 22

‘Love a mirror shot, turn to the side and grab’

Tilda, 20
