Hart, M.Billett, P.2025-05-282025-05-282025Sexuality and Culture, 2025; 29(4):1-171095-51431095-5143https://hdl.handle.net/2440/144764This article examines how young women engage in edgework through the practice of sharing nude selfies on Tumblr. Drawing on the concept of edgework, traditionally explored in ’hypermasculine’ contexts, this article joins recent feminist approaches to reimagine the theory. It does this by highlighting the significance of female-dominated online spaces on the social media platform Tumblr. Women reap considerable benefits from their engagement in sharing nude self-images, most notably in their ability to reflexively develop their erotic identities and improve their wellbeing through reaching a level of body positivity and acceptance of their self-image. The article explains this by emphasizing three key themes: sexual self-objectification and empowerment; the creation of feminist counter-publics; and by reconciling pleasure and risk. Through expanding the discourse on a feminist approach to edgework, this article challenges traditional gendered notions of ’the edge’ and contributes to a more inclusive understanding of risk-taking practices in contemporary digital spaces.en© The Author(s) 2025.
