How do people live their life after their explicit photos went viral?

Recently my friend's ex threatened him that she'll share his explicit pics with his friends and family. Fortunately things are okay now.

This made me think about the thousands of cases where nudes are leaked. For whatsoever reasons - blackmailing, mistakenly, revenge, for fun, etc.

But how do these people continue their life after this knowing that hundreds of people including their own friends/family have seen them naked.

Do you know someone who has been through such a terrible phase? I know there are websites who take down such content from the Internet, are those legitimate?
