The photos are his property and he should either destroy them, send them back, or keep them. If he destroys them he should tell her and reasure her they are not out there floating around. If he wants to send them back he should have that conversation with her and explain his position is out of respect for the sensitivity of the photos, the situation, and out of great respect for her and her wishes.

nude photos same as clothed photos?? by: Anonymous
Just asking, Ben. Seems like a big difference.
Family pics and pics of your past are part of your life in an ongoing way...........naked pics or sexual pics seem way to charged to be giving to an ex...... am I wrong?
Ben's Answer:
What a charged subject this is! If a man and woman are married for 30 years and they have a good healthy relationship, and they've got a few naked photos of one another...does that make them x-rated? I don't know. Maybe these are. Or maybe they're "artistic shots." The only important thing here really, is the relationship between this man, and his current wife. They should do what makes sense for both of them. Trashing the photos would be the simplest thing. But it's not really for anyone outside their relationship to judge or decide. Maybe I'm not getting the whole story, but I thought the photos were of her, not himself.
For some relationships this whole thing would be completely taboo and inappropriate. For others, it would be trivial and no big deal. There may be lots of strong opinions here, but it's really about the couple and their own boundaries and trust.
