Edward Snowden is reportedly becoming tired of receiving graphic nude pictures from his female admirers.

The fugitive whistle blower said he was flattered by all the women who bombarded him with "Christmas presents", but reminded them he had a girlfriend.

Described as a traitor by British and American intelligence services, Snowden has become a sex symbol after leaking huge amounts of data relating to mass surveillance.

According to Motherboard , there is little doubt the "presents" Snowden alluded to were actually photos of ladies with no clothes on.

"I can neither confirm nor deny it means exactly what you think it means," Snowden said.

Anyone planning to expose themselves to the sexpot geek should probably be aware that the FBI are probably monitoring his communications.
