Madeline Holden is on a one-woman crusade to help men take better photos of their penises. Modern dating is moving online. With that comes a renewed emphasis on sexting. Not just the pastime of horny teenagers or creeps online, sexting has crossed into the realm of necessary life skill. Since Tinder and its analogues are a primary way in which single people connect, being able to portray your sexual self virtually is becoming the precursor to touching someone in the flesh.

This article was originally published on December 1, We're of the opinion that all butts are worth celebrating; back in September, we shared our unfiltered, unretouched photos of 30 women's behinds — you know, in case you'd forgotten what un-Photoshopped butts really look like.

Never before has remote foreplay been so easy, making the sexy selfie a standard in hormone-fueled texting. However, not unlike celebrated photographers in the field, mediocrity should not be tolerated. Do you think a National Geographic photographer has ever turned in a badly cropped, out-of-focus picture of an eagle? No way. Standards should be in place for any type of photograph taken, including naked body shots.
