# #NationalSendANudeDay Starting October 5th, 2012, Twitter user @Free_Reign_Flyb tagged two posts with #NationalSendANudeDay, planting an unofficial holiday that encourages people to send nude photos to their partners. The hashtag resurfaced on April 22nd, 2014 as #NationalSendYourManNudesDay and again on May 19th, 2016, when it topped US Twitter trends with over 136,000 posts. ## Origin On October 5th, 2012, Twitter user @Free_Reign_Flyb posted the earliest known tweets using the hashtag #NationalSendANudeDay[3]. The joke sat quiet for over a year before anyone picked it up at scale[4]. The format gained traction on April 22nd, 2014, when @iLikeGirlsDaily tweeted a woman's nude selfie with a variant tag, #NationalSendYourManNudesDay, which became the version that first hit Twitter's trending list[4]. - **Platform:** Twitter - **Creator:** @Free_Reign_Flyb (earliest known poster) - **Date:** 2012 ## Overview Posts under the tag range from flirty selfies to joke replies that mock the premise outright[1]. During peak traffic days, feeds fill with photoshopped animals, Christian evangelist jokes aimed at derailing the trend, and image macros riffing on the idea that nobody actually requested a nude-themed holiday[4]. #NationalSendANudeDay works as a parody of Twitter's endless unofficial calendar days such as National Donut Day, with each resurgence attracting a mix of earnest participants and trolls[2]. Reporters at Mashable rounded up safe-for-work joke responses from users mocking the concept[1], while The Daily Dot pointed out that organizers try to make the tag trend in nearly every month of the year[2]. No single date stuck, so the holiday reappears whenever someone with a large following revives it. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is #NationalSendANudeDay?
