Self taking Nude photo is in vogue in Taiwan

Taipei -- Along with the maturity of the self-taking functions of digital camera and cell phone, self taking nude photos has recently been in vogue in Taiwan. There were once some completely nude photos running around on the internet, with children alongside watching the players in the scene, causing an uproar in Taiwan's society.

Furthermore, that some even took nude photos on bustling viaducts, or on national freeways, really passes comprehension. And a coincidence is that female students are of the majority in the recent self-taken nude photos. This phenomenon has made experts astonished.

Experts pointed out that the self-takers might be inclined to self-exposure, overly self-love, or suffering mania.

Yang Chongcai, director of the Psychiatrical Department of GengShen Hospital, Taiwan, said that if a self taker takes nude photos in a particularly selected place, being self-conscious, and if the photos are surely not photoshopped, the person might suffer mania without self-knowledge,so the person always behaves weird. But the person might perhaps have an addiction for self exposure, just as a male exhibitionism wants to keep the feeling that his penis exists, these female self takers want to prove that her female characteristics are as the same as other females'.

Nevertheless, sociologists, like Liu Shuqiong, an Assistant Professor of the Taipei University, argues that the self taking is a new vogue, which symbolizes the change of social criteria and value. A self taker receives less pressure if the taker takes nude photo in a place where no one around; the taker might feel sexually exciting and being stimulated when others are around.

Liu said that a self taker has easily been in the mentation of challenge and comparison; for example, if someone has taken self nude photos in underpass, there might be others want to challenge the one, choosing taking nude photos on a road with more people around.Liu stressed that this may perhaps be one of the reasons that the self takers always change place to take photo.
