men: are boudoir photos really a good gift?

[Anonymous]

Wife did them several years ago.

I look at them every few months.

Glad she did it!

If they make you feel better about yourself there is likely to be a positive effect in the bedroom, so it can be a great gift

It seems like a gift for the woman.

I used to work with someone who had a boudoir-ish photo of his wife sitting on his lap that was displayed on his desk. The way he displayed it was unusual. The photo wasn't turned in his direction. It was turned outward so that visitors to his office had the (dis) pleasure of viewing the photo. It was odd.

Boudoir photos are fine. Don't inflict them on people outside your marriage. Def. don't inflict them on your co-workers.

Yes - I arranged a session for my DW as a gift and she loved it. Met up with her at the hotel afterward and we went at it like rabbits. It made her feel super sexy

PP who is contemplating something for my anniversary.

If I took my own photos as suggested above, would I have them developed? Where would I do that? I feel like going to Walgreens and printing them would be awkward to say the least!

Google search boudoir photography people who specialize in this.

I think just texting or emailing them to your partner would be sufficient. No need to have hard copies. But if you do want hard copies, you could upload them to a site that will print them and send them to you, like Mpix.

We sat around and laughed our asses off looking through them. She doesn't know.

That's cruel.

A good set of photos is one of the best gifts.

I have nothing against just doing it for fun, but a picture of yourself is never a "gift."

The boudoir pics are awkward bc they're dressed (or undressed) to the 9s, looking all sexy but then the expression on her face is like she's posing for her church directory. They just don't look real. She's not going to work it with some photographer. I think she should have a glass of wine, get all worked up, wear something sexy and then take pics herself. Real passionate pictures not posed corny ones.

Do it while your boobs are still up there. Later in life you will be glad. Or you can used them on a dating profile in 15 years.
