"About a month ago, these photos were taken partially nude, not one that you really see hidden organs, but what is called artistic," Khaimov wrote. "I have no problem taking pictures like that, as long as it doesn't look too cheap or sexual, but I was still hesitant to upload the photos because of all sorts of questions and questions about the legitimacy of such content, and how it would be perceived by you," he admitted.

"Is exposing our bodies creatively an art? After all, there really are no rules here, and everything is in the eye of the beholder. I also believe that the observer should choose for himself what he wants to see and should not be forced on him, certainly not on this platform because there are people whose feelings or beliefs it may hurt, so I decided to be considerate and not present the pictures in full, even though I fly on them." "I'm completely at peace with the outcome because I have no desire to hurt or provoke just a provocation. I'd really like to know what you think," he requested.

Indeed, users shared their opinions. "Why do you need external approvals from other people? Be at peace with yourself, who you are, and in your own way. You will develop self-confidence that does not require the environment to approve of you. Love yourself, don't look around for people to say, approve or love you," one user wrote to Khaimov. "Thank you. I agree with you, only it doesn't come from insecurity, but from a desire to be considerate," he replied.
