Nudes are nude pictures.

In Switzerland, exchanging nudes is only permitted from the age of 18. An exception applies to 16- to 18-year-olds who send nudes to each other with mutual consent (see Art. 197, para. 8 StGB), otherwise you are liable to prosecution for possession, production or distribution of child pornography.

When exchanging nudes, it is important that your face and your body are never in the same picture. It is also best to take the nudes in front of a neutral, e.g. white wall and not in front of your personal photo album or other objects that clearly belong to you.
