This is a sad, sad story, but one that we will probably see repeated many times over the next few years in this new, digital age,

The image was blurred and the voice distorted, but the words spoken by a young Ohio woman are haunting. She had sent nude pictures of herself to a boyfriend. When they broke up, he sent them to other high school girls. The girls were harassing her, calling her a slut and a whore. She was miserable and depressed, afraid even to go to school.

And now Jesse Logan was going on a Cincinnati television station to tell her story. Her purpose was simple: "I just want to make sure no one else will have to go through this again."

The interview was in May 2008. Two months later, Jessica Logan hanged herself in her bedroom. She was 18.

Was what happened to Jessica Logan humiliating? Absolutely. Was it worth killing herself over? Absolutely not. Life does go on. Just ask Dr. Laura, who makes a living haranguing people about moral issues on the radio, yet has naked pictures taken by an old boyfriend floating all over the net. If she can endure it, you can endure it, too.

That being said, I'm going to give all the women out there a piece of advice that your parents are probably too uncomfortable to give to you: do not let your boyfriend take naked pictures of you. You know why? Because even if you disregard the moral issues, if the two of you break up, you have a problem.

At best, you're going to be sitting around worrying needlessly about whether your Ex is going to be showing your naked pictures to other people. At worst, he IS going to be showing those pics to other people.

And, let me tell you: it's not an unusual occurrence. I have probably had friends/acquaintances of mine show me naked pics of their ex-girlfriends at least a dozen times -- and I don't think that's unusual. As a general rule, you don't even have to ask. They want to show them to you, to pay their girlfriend back for whatever slight they feel like they've suffered at her hands during the break-up.

Moreover, although I can't go into detail for obvious reasons, I have had female friends of mine tell me all sorts of horror stories about naked pics -- quasi-blackmail attempts, having the photos intentionally or accidentally leaked out on the web -- it goes on and on.

So, let me just give all the women out there the exact same advice publicly that I would give them privately: do not let your boyfriends take naked pictures of you or the time may come when you regret it.
