I'm pretty certain that me, my wife, our kids, our grandkids, and pretty much everyone we know in the entire fucking world understood the concept of "NO" well before the time they were 3 years old.
Block and move on without a backward glance.
When I get the Single Male who won't take No for an answer, and won't send pics of his "Girlfriend who is in town this weekend", depending on my mood, I will play the back and forth game until they realize that I am just dicking around with them.
Kind of like dealing with the telemarketing phone calls.
I wouldn't have said it twice.
After I said no, second request they are blocked.
I think your title is the answer, No means... NO, not be more persistent, or push harder. I've noticed people my age are horrible about this, both in the aggressive nature of wearing someone down and not respecting boundaries' but also in the people giving in to it. Essentially that behavior exists because it works, sad to say it, but if their success rate was 0% with that type of behavior they would simply find another tactic. So how do we fix it? Make no mean no, establish boundaries and stand by them, because quite simply if they cannot respect your wishes online or when chatting, I wouldn't think the behavior would change in person but as mentioned they have no intention of meeting or actually getting to an end, especially with pic collectors, they are just satisfying as cheap thrill.
Id personally give them one opportunity to honor my wishes, violate that, blocked. a relationship (even a casual FWB) is nothing without respect for the other person, but that is my opinion, everyone has their own beliefs
Hornywife.. I think my reality check just bounced. Sad but like you said it is the new norm.

Hey, you have experienced what many of us do on a regular basis. Do yourself a favor and cut them off early so you don't waste any time on them. They are just fakes and never plan on meeting. This seems to be the new norm in the LS.
On the subject of photos, we have seen many “pic traders” recently. As one example we were messaging back and forth one couple. Each time we gave them our phone number and instead of calling they kept sending messages instead. Then they asked us to send nude photos. We explained politely several times that we don’t do that. If anyone wants to see us nude, just come hang out with us. “They” got increasingly rude and demanding. They wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. I finally told them what I felt and that “they” are either:
Some dude who just wants to trade pictures, borring
An actual couple that doesn’t know how to take No for an answer, predatory to say the least. This second scenario is scarry as if it ever came to play time can you imagine what else they wouldn’t take no for?
So my point is don’t let anyone push your photo sensibility beyond your limits
