There's a bunch of people on this thread saying "why on earth would people take photos of themselves naked".

People do this all the time and if you don't then you are probably in the minority. 49% of US phone users send sexually explicit photos - which implies even more are taking the pics and not sending them.

The moralising about "oh no it will leak" is just something people in tech who have never done this worry about. Most people take neck down pics, try to hide identifying marks, using Snapchat disappearing pics (or similar) and don't care too much if that happens to leak.
