The Rise of a New Love Language

Buckle up, because a sixth love language has emerged, and it's all about sharing a cheeky, consensual photo with your boo! Moonpig Australia has conducted a survey that claims sending spicy snaps has become a mainstream method for couples to flirt, connect, and keep the passion alive.

In the digital age, it's no surprise that 52% of Australians admit to sharing NSFW photos, with 69% reporting it positively boosts intimacy. It's a fascinating twist in modern relationships, sparking curiosity about how these Aussies are perfecting their angles and lighting. Is the hashtag #sendnudes making a comeback?

Sexting Across the States

Digging deeper, the survey found Western Australia leading the nation in nude-trading at 72%, followed by New South Wales at 54% and Victoria at 53%. This cheeky activity has sexologist Georgia Grace declaring it a brand new love language.

“Cheeky pics aren’t just a trend, more people are embracing them as the modern love language,” Grace said.

She further emphasized how sharing a playful photo can be an exciting way to stay connected, building anticipation and serving as a bridge between regular life and intimate moments.

The Do's and Dont's of Sending Nudes

Of course, this trend only works if it's consensual – because nobody wants an unsolicited surprise while commuting to work! With Valentine's Day on the horizon, there's no better time to send a well-lit package to your special someone. Plus, Moonpig offers new cards celebrating this intimate gesture.

Remember to keep it fun and consensual, and save the spicy snaps for after-hours. After all, your boss is only interested in the kind of package that comes with a salary.
