2. sexy vs. raunchy
We’ve been trying to explore the differences between sexy photos and
raunchy photos when it comes to boy/girl interactions.
There is a certain point when a couple should be in front of the
camera and when a couple needs to be in a private bedroom. Too
much touching and affection should be kept personal between two
individuals. The moment we TRY to be “sexy,” is the moment we stop
being sexy.
Here, I brought the camera into the bedroom, and looked into this
topic with my boyfriend.

18. SELF DISCOVERY
There is a huge difference between love and lust.
Too much exposure is too much information. I don’t want to see a couple
all over each other... it’s as simple as that. When the focus is on their
bodies, the couple becomes faceless... they’re lacking life. It’s fake and
unbelievable. Touching, posing, and flaunting becomes phony.
Seeing myself in these kinds of photos even made me feel shocked and
appalled. But I realized that I see these type of photos in advertisements
all the time.
When the couple in the photo is real, and when they have a believable
story, the photo comes off as sexy. The couple needs to be themselves,
whether it be nerdy or goofy. When it’s soft and sweet, with subtle acts of
affection, it’s more convincing.
Don’t pretend to be something you’re not. Sexy couple photos are
honest, real, and true.
