Why would a guy in a relationship take naked pics of himself & upload them to his computer?

Question

I know it's a stupid question, but what other reasons besides cheating would a guy have to do this?

My boyfriend & I have been together for 3 years, he says I'm the only girl he's ever been with. He's going to his family's for Christmas in a few days & in august when he also went back there since he graduated from college. I went on craigslist because i suspected he might cheat since he never talks to me while he's gone. I found an ad he posted & he replied back to me with naked pics of himself! Of course i used a different email address. I confronted him & he said he "thought I didn't trust him". & craigslist is actually where we met.. I naively took his word for it & now I feel like I'm regretting it.
So, I went through my boyfriends computer today (yea,yea, i know that's wrong) but I found 2 naked pics of him taken in August. The weird part is, I definitely don't recognize the walls in the background & it's nowhere that we've been or lived. My mind is racing with so many thoughts. He just uploaded them to his computer which is even stranger! It's like he's attempting to cheat on me, or already has, considering those walls. I need advice on what to do..
If i confront him, I know he'll come up with some stupid excuse. He's lied to me before about naked pics of other girls I've found him looking at on the internet. Whatever though, porn is porn. This is something different. We've had issues before because we never really talked about what "cheating" is. I don't consider flirting or just talking to other guys cheating, he does. So, i stopped talking to all of my male friends. Then i see he might be cheating.
I've even asked him if he wants an open relationship to make him happy, but he refuses.

Answer 1

If he's in a relationship with you, he shouldn't be sending any naked pics of himself to anyone over the internet. Since he is, it indicates that he's interested in cheating. (However, he clearly doesn't want YOU cheating with anyone else.) You caught him trying to cheat and now he's trying to weasel back out of it. He's showed you his true colors. Dump him and find a better boyfriend.

Answer 2

Idiocy caused by testosterone poisoning. Unfortunately common in many men.



I consider it a flaw that is a relationship killer, if he does not overcome it.

Answer 3

Cos hes very foolish and probably has never heard of webcam blackmail.
