JAKARTA - Selfie or known as selfies is an activity of photographing oneself which is also considered as a means of self-actualization.

Each individual certainly has his own way of expressing himself during selfies. One of them is a habit of being naked in front of the camera.

So, is this habit dangerous for one's mental health?

Keep in mind, there are two possibilities for someone to practice naked in front of the camera.

First because of a hobby. Taking pictures naked is sometimes seen as 'entertainment' in itself. There is satisfaction in itself when the person sees the photo naked.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a sex therapist explained that it is quite normal if the photo is kept only for personal consumption and not to be shared with others.

However, the habit of being naked in front of the camera is unsettling if the owner of the photo has the intention of sharing this sensual photo with several people, especially when uploaded to social media accounts.

According to dr. Muhammad Ainul Rohman, this condition is included in the disorder of sexuality and is the second possible cause of someone doing the habit of being naked in front of the camera.

This sexual disorder is of several types. To determine the exact cause, a detailed medical interview is required to gather information, find out about disease history, environmental conditions, habits, and other factors.

In addition, physical examination and urine tests in the laboratory are also needed to conclude a diagnosis. To make a diagnosis, it must involve professionals who are competent in their fields.

This sexual disorder certainly cannot be underestimated because it can cause acute effects on sufferers. Which, if not handled quickly and appropriately, can lead to criminal acts that can lead to mental disorders.

For that, one needs to be fully aware of the intent and purpose of doing the habit of being naked in front of the camera. If done to comply with personal satisfaction, then this does not become a significant problem.

But, if this is accompanied by a desire to show other people, then you should immediately stop this bad habit.

You can try to keep in your mind that what you are doing is wrong, and relax by including positive thoughts.

If all the actions have been carried out but there is no change in yourself, then the only way is to immediately visit a psychiatric doctor to get accurate treatment.
