Sometimes porn doesn't get the chance to become revenge porn, as in this case before the German Federal Court:
Germany's highest court has ordered a man to destroy intimate photos and videos of his ex-partner because they violate her right to privacy. The Federal Court said the man, a photographer, should no longer possess naked photos and sex tapes, even if he had no intention of sharing them.
The woman had originally agreed to the images but this consent stopped when the relationship ended, the court said. Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws in Europe.
The Federal Court was called upon to rule in a dispute between a former couple, who were arguing over whether or not the man should delete intimate photos and videos. In its ruling (in German), the court said everyone had the right to decide whether to grant insight into their sex life - including to whom they grant permission and in what form. It said that by retaining the images, the photographer had a certain "manipulative power" over his ex-lover. He should no longer have rights to the photos and videos once the relationship had ended, it concluded.
It is not clear how the ruling will be enforced.
A 2014 Pew survey of American mobile phone users found that 34% of those aged 25-34 reported receiving "sexts" (sexually suggestive photos or videos), as well as 22% of those aged 35-44 and 15% of those aged 45-54. Across all age groups, 20% reported receiving sexts, an increase from just 15% in 2012. A smaller portion of the population is sending the sexts: 9% of phone users in 2014, from 6% in 2012.

"If you leave a man you move on. You can't keep part of her, you can't keep trophy momentoes, (including one time or multiple payments of MONEY) you don't get to remain part of her life, (this includes TRANSFER OF ANY FUNDS) and you don't keep those incriminating photos. (or payments)
Now - non-nude photos might be alright. (you get to keep the insane ring he bought for you) Just grow up, and move on. (cuz she's already been banging your 2 best friends to forget you) And, no, I don't care about "artistic" or "intellectual" rights. Just let it go." (you don't need money from him, i don't care about "your house" or "your cars". JUST LET HIM GO! MONEY AND ALL!
There, I flipped it for the version for women.

Actually, I agree with what I THINK you are saying. I left a woman after 8 years. She thought she was entitled to alimony. I flat out told her that she would never collect a single dollar in alimony, no matter what any judge might say. Zero.
On the other hand - you got kids? You're liable for supporting those children.
So, tell me, are you arguing against alimony, or child support?
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.
