So, my ex-boyfriend and I split two years ago. It was a pretty rubbish relationship at the start, but it lasted for about 3-4 months. We were both in high school during this time, and he was a year or two older than me. We were secretly dating too, so our parents had no clue about us, but this isn't the point of the story; it's just some background info.

After the 2nd month or so, he began asking me for nude photographs of myself. I said no, that I wasn't comfortable with it. He said fine, okay, whatever; but he became persistent. He eventually started sending nude pictures as a way to "make me feel less uncomfortable" about the whole thing. Eventually, he started to tell me that it was okay, and that all kinds of couples did it. That it wouldn't hurt anything. I sent him one, and to this day I regret it so much. He was such a manipulative person, and he took advantage of me (or at least I feel that way looking back at it now). I just feel so guilty. I feel gross... degraded even that he took sexual pleasure in looking at my body the way he did. It wasn't even with love or affection. It was pure lust.

I'm not really sure what the point of this thread is. Closure? Reassurance? I don't know. I just need to tell someone. I need someone to listen. I need to hear someone's opinion and experiences.
