ok, so im going to ask, my db doesnt ask for any questionable pics of me, and considering hes in Iraq, I thought maybe it would be a nice gesture. Do you think I should ask him if he wants me to so this? Or should I just surprise him when he gets back from a mission?:shock

No I wouldn't advise sending pics. You never know who they'll accedently get sent to and what they will do with them:shock yeah had that happen to me....half his battery has got an eyefull of my boobs.

Well just b/c you haven't met him yet, I wouldn't send him any. I hope I don't offend you and I'm not trying to imply your DB is a weirdo, but you just NEVER know what will happen when he comes back to the states and if you two didn't work out, who is going to see those pics? They could end up on the internet for all you know! A lot of relationships & marriages come from internet dating, but also a lot of soldiers "talk" w/ girls while their in Iraq.

I wouldn't do it...

:yes

You havent met him yet? Anyways, I sent my dh some as a suprise and he was the happiest man in the world. If you are worried about sending them through the mail then try sending them to his personal email. I dont think they will get out to everyone unless he lets that happen. Have fun with it, I'm sure he will be happy for the suprise.

I only sent a rare few when DH was gone simply because I never knew who might see.

I say go for the surprise factor, it will mean more to him then if you ask. Word to the wise though, do warn him that there is something for his eyes only going to be sent to him. You don't want him to open up the pics in front of everyone... :)

Just a bit of advice NEVER send them via email me and my dh lost our internet privelages (our only means of communication) for 30 days because someone got caught looking at porn and the computer systems were dumped and my pictures were found we didn't know that all email images are retained by the computer.

Yea, I don't know. Like the other ladies said, you just never know what other eyes my see. I send my husband sexy pictures, but all my "goodies" are covered. Short kirt pics, bra pics. Stuff like that. We have a code word for when I send those type of pics via email. So he opens with caution, and excitement. :)

if he has a personal laptop over there it shouldnt be a problem, thats why i sent them through email, and its much faster

i wouldnt do it period. whether he has a laptop or not. if he only has his work computer than i would definitely not do it. what if he got in trouble because of it. and to me sending naked pics is just gonna end up making them want something they cant have right now.

maybe take some sexy ones and put it in a photo album and give it to him when he gets back

I totally agree all use of government internet is monitored! We found out the hard way. lol:duh

so i'm talking to my husband now, and he is using an iraqi internet called FUBI (for us by iraqis) on his personal laptop and he said there is no way the government can get into his email or anything on his computer, it is run by iraqis and the military has nothing to do with it. so it all depends on what he is using over there. or try mentioning something about the restrictions he has as of internet use and go from there.

I have sent a few through e-mail and got away with it for along time. Can be exicting for them esepially if they don't get to see you often.
I would not advise post, you never know who may open it.

Least your e-mails can be password protected

:agree

The pics I send to DH don't have my face in them...

AGAIN- you've never met the guy.

Don't do it simply b/c of that. I think your playing w/ fire if you do do it.

The pics I send to DH don't have my face in them...

:lol

That's what I did w/ my ex husband when he was deployed.

since you haven't met him yet that would be my only reason for waiting. i have sent db pictures of me in the mail as well as to his email, he has his own laptop there and he uses his personal email...he loves it. it is up to you if you feel comfortable sending them to him or not. but he would love the surprise if you did! :)

i sent df some and he loved them!!!! I took one of his favorite gaming magazines and i took my pics and taped them in the magazine. He loved it. I just wrote a note on the outside of the magazine that said "for your eyes ONLY"
It worked really well and he still talks about "his" magazine!

I wouldnt send it either way, partially given that after my ex and I broke up, I pretty much freaked out for several weeks over some photos he had of me while I waited for him to at least tell me he deleted them. But also based on the fact that you don't really know whose hands theyll land in, intentional or not. Y'know? Especially since everyone seems to be saying that you haven't met him. If that's the case, and you still want to do something special, do a risque but tasteful pose. Let his imagination do the work. Don't show him the whole goods. There's never really any need for that.

Thanks for the in put! and thanks for not being judgmental about it too! I appriciate and take to heart what all you ladies say. Hope your all having a great weekend!

Yeah I didn't see that you hadn't met him yet! I'd say no.

I agree... but if you are still going to do it like the other ladies said be careful. For me my DH would download it through MSN when we chatted and I would always zip it up and put a password on it that he knew ahead of time. Then he would take it put it on his zipdrive and password it on there too. So just be careful if you are going to do it anyway. :)

Good idea :thumbsup

I sent pics to DH once without him asking and he told me that all email is screened before they get to it.:lol So god knows who saw it other than DH.

surprise him by EMAIL! dont send them through the mail! make sure you tell him to open it when he's alone :) if ur worried about them being posted on the internet then.. i suggest to not get ur face in any of them :)

Moved this to love shack ;)

If you haven't met him, that's a call that you will have to make. But if you are going to send them, I put some in my dh's photo album with regular pictures(the scandelous ones were in the back) and let him know that there was a supprise for his eyes only in the back of it. HE said that was a good idea because when customs goes through it they will just look in the front to make sure it's pictures. I wouldn't e mail because even if he's not using a government internet connection, I do know that the guys sometimes wirelessly network their computers(personal) together to play games or share music and some of the other guys could easily get them.

If you haven't met him in person yet, wait. Or if you have to- don't send naked ones.
