Yep. I managed to date and have plenty of boyfriends in an era when you couldn't take or send around pictures like these, and I did just fine. No one would even think of asking you for something like that. You had to send photos out to be developed, and no self-respecting boyfriend would want the photo shop guy to see photos of his girlfriend! Also, he himself would look like a perv. Some places wouldn't even handle photos like those. It was just unheard-of, unless you had a Polaroid, and even that was considered pervy. Our society has really been cheapened since then. I know, I know, I sound like an old fogey, but seriously, what have we accomplished except to make people not think twice about violating the privacy of themselves and the people they date? You don't owe anyone intimate pictures, and you're right iembargo, you should think twice about someone who asks you for them. Unfortunately, though, I think even nice young men have come to expect this and think it's no big deal. They may even feel left out because all their friends' girlfriends send them pics like that, and so they wonder why their girlfriend won't. This is a lot of pressure on both parties. It is a double standard, but I agree that it's up to women to stop it, because men just don't have any reason to.

But- I can't discount the possibility that this is a publicity stunt. Today's stars seem not to take this stuff as seriously as previous generations would just because, as you said  it's everywhere. But that's my cynical view, I guess I just don't want to believe Jennette could make such a terrible mistake.
