German Court Rules That You Can't Keep Compromising Photos After a Break-Up
mrspoonsi (2955715) writes "A German amateur photographer has found out after his ex-girlfriend took him to court, which ruled that the subjects of smutty pictures can withdraw their consent if they're naked. [News release in German.] The shutterbug was able to keep the clothed pictures, however, as they weren't considered to compromise the reputation of the woman in question."
Europe has a strange laws like that. A few years ago, on holiday in Denmark, I met a girl at a club, I went back to her house. She sucked me off, then asked me to orally satisfy her. Ok, off comes her dress and .... her cock is bigger than mine. Fuck that! The next I'm arrested for rape. He agreed that we had consensual sex but claimed it was rape because I agreed to suck his penis and then changed my mind. After a few hours in jail, I talked to a lawyer, paid a $50 rape fine, and I was free. Their culture is a mix of vikings ($50 fine for rape) and liberal pantywaists (hurting your feelings = rape). Strange system. So, just make sure you finger bang that pussy before you agree to orally satisfy a girl.
Let's fix that up a bit...
When you take off your clothes in front of a camera...
...and bounce up and down on your man-whore's rock-hard penis like a mad banshee and then let him pull his man-canon out of your wet wide she-trough and then allow your boy-toy "professional model" to spluge all over your face while slapping his cock on your lips on camera , you should not be surprised where that "tape" ends up.

Not just a bad analogy, but absolutely wrong in just about every possible way. Which of course means your opinion of right and wrong is horribly skewed, therefor your opinion on the subject is wrong. I'll start with the fact that relationships, contrary to what Pop music stars and TV celebrities tell you, are healthy.
The only possible reasons to keep adult photo's after a relationship ends are unethical and immoral. Either the person wants to use them for revenge/smear purposes, or they are unable to cope with the termination of the relationship and need something to cling on to, or perhaps they have a porn collection that they want to supplement with an old girlfriend for masturbatory purposes. In all cases, that is unacceptable behavior and symptomatic of numerous possible mental disorders.
To claim that a relationship is wrong, or that two consenting adults planning a long term relationship can't do things in the bedroom is social retardation at it's finest.
If a person dwells on a mental image of an ex, we would consider them sociopaths and dangerous. If they went around telling people what their ex looked like naked, we would think the same. If the person got off picturing their ex all the time, we'd consider them psychopaths. Why is a physical picture different than a mental picture? That's a rhetorical question, and the answer is that they are not very different at all when used in sociological / psychologically disruptive ways.
Germany has this one right.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
So what you're saying is, your last girlfriend was (to you, at least) a Big Beautiful Woman. Nothing wrong with that, as long as that's what floats your boat. Just because today's fashion industry equates skinny with good looking doesn't mean that you have to follow their standards.

Your trollish comment is unacceptable behavior and symptomatic of numerous possible mental disorders, being so unethical and immoral. How do you like those apples?
Sieg heil. German judges must be closet members of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Or maybe even the Involuntary version.
"What's even less respectful is getting government thugs involved in the whole thing, and forcing the deletion of the images."
Resolving a conflict in rights between individuals is *exactly* the kind of the thing governments are created for.
Yes, just think of the horror! Those poor Jews/homosexuals/anyone-that-Hitler-hateds whose naked corpses were taken pictures of when the Allied Forces discovered the unhumanities of the concentration camps!
They never gave any consent for those pictures! Destroy that proof now!
