PENIS PHOTOS - Really????

215 replies

Hullygully · 21/06/2013 12:46

Inspired by another thread. If you met someone in rl or online and they sent you a photo of their penis, would you think that was hot? Or even acceptable?

I would never ever ever get involved with someone that sent me willy pics.

Am I just old? Is this what people do now?

There's no way my husband would ever send me a picture of his knob, but he's a never-nude so that's standard.

I think some men assume that because they'd like to see pics of our tits, we'd be similarly turned on by knob shots. I agree with the poster up thread: the isolation just adds to the ridiculousness. A male friend sent an undolicited dick pic to a female friend of both of us. She forwarded it to me. I sent it back to him with the message "Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!" He stopped talking to both of us.

my theory is that it is rooted in the same urge that drives the man in the park with the dirty raincoat to expose his erection to passing women.

Pre internet/mobile phones most men who got that urge would have suppressed it or it'd have died before they actually dug out the raincoat & got to the park.

But now they get the urge and before they know if the camera phone has done it's work and his penis pixels are out there in the electronic ether.

I have asked men why they do it and they reply 'so that you know what you're getting' as if that were the only criteriaHmm
really it doesnt enter their heads that its an automatic failShock

Pre internet/mobile phones men used to get drunk and drop their kecks.

They still do, but now they have a phone to hand (so to speak) to record the joyful moment.

LackaDAISYcal · 21/06/2013 17:59

that was me Mardy and no it wasn't but I'm crying now Grin

SamuelWestsMistress · 21/06/2013 18:03

I'd like it if it was Matt Smith.

Not so if it were Paul Daniels.

Actually I remember getting texts from a random number once and it involved whoever this was sending me pictures of a rather large veiny cock. Wether is was theirs or not remains uncertain...

Hashtagwhatever · 21/06/2013 18:05

Not my thing but each to their own

LeGavrOrf · 21/06/2013 18:17

It IS like the flashers of old.

These blokes are the modern day equivalent of the dirty flasher in his mac in the opening credits of Cagney and Lacey.

TheRealFellatio · 21/06/2013 18:29

I completely agree with you. I would find it odd in the extreme. If the online conversation had got to a point where we were both gagging for it then I'd arrange to meet and shag. or preferably go for a date or two first, and then shag. Not bloody look at pictures of his willy on the webcam. Hmm

but then sometimes I feel to old and out of kilter with this world.

ArbitraryUsername · 21/06/2013 18:31

To be honest, if some random male acquaintance texted me a video of himself wanking, I'd probably see if I could get a PCSO to have a quick word about the whole sex pest thing. It really is not on. I may be humourless, but I would really object to receiving that.

auntpetunia · 21/06/2013 19:08

My DD got sent a couple of these when she first got her phone! She was 10!! I replied to the first one you've got wrong number this is childs phone don't send such filth again! Got 6 in close succesion of it various states of arousal. Took phone to police who I believe paid visit to young man as I'd warned him a child was receiving pics and he hadn't stopped
.
DD thought it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen and very ugly.

Fakebook · 21/06/2013 19:15

Eeew, no way! Penises aren't beautiful things. They look like those wormy things in the Tremors movies. Not pretty.

Oldraver · 21/06/2013 19:19

If someone is trying to impress yo,u sending a photo of his dick will not go down well with me

I'm not averse to cock photos but you dont want one off a man who you dont really know

IfNotNowThenWhen · 21/06/2013 19:20

Well, I have never had anyone send be a knob picture, and would instantly bin anyone who did , BUT, I have to say that peni are getting a pasting on here arnt they? It seems to be the accepted view of womankind that a penis is gross, ugly and/ or ridiculous.
I actually don't think so. Thinking back to ones I have loved,ones i have lost, and a couple that got away, I have very fond visual memories of cock.
In fact, I have a couple of naked pics of ex boyfriends that I am never deleting...
These shall sustain me in my old age ( I.e now).

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 21/06/2013 19:31

I have directed DH to this thread and there is now much hilarity chez Baba Grin

He is threatening to send me a knob shot from work on Monday!

Oldraver · 21/06/2013 19:52

My OH has a beautiful cock, if I ever told him he thought I was mesing around.

Then he saw Embarressing Bodies the other week

pigletmania · 21/06/2013 19:55

Yuck no thanks. That would be a deal breaker

fuzzpig · 21/06/2013 19:56

Howling at a leg of ham carved into the shape of a meerkat :o

qualitytoffee · 21/06/2013 20:00

I got talking to a fella on a website that we frequented, and to be honest, we clicked, then he sent me one of those photos, and that was it for me. If he didn't have enough respect for me and my (then 11 year old boy), then he wasn't worth my time. He was 54 for Gods sake!!

Jubelteen · 21/06/2013 20:01

What a sheltered life I lead, have never received one, neither have my friends, well if they have they haven't shown them around. Would be completely disgusted if a colleague sent a pic of his dick, or wanking, would have a total SOH failure, it's sexual harassment. Proud to be a prude.

OccasionalTherapy · 21/06/2013 20:02

yy to whoever said flasher...wonder if they practise to get a 'best cock shot' and then use that one with all future encounters...or knock off a new one for each separate encounter?
(Not sure if I should be impressed with personalised 'artisan' type cock shots over generic 'I've sent this flatteringly lit cock shot to 27 different women' shots)

The things MN makes you question! Hmm

tungthai · 21/06/2013 20:05

A 54 year old sending an unsolicited picture of a penis is surely a bit thick? I think this is problem people are getting thicker.

CocacolaMum · 21/06/2013 21:06

I have had a photo of a cock! I looked up an ex on facebook just to see how he was (totally facebookstalked him tbh) and liked a pic by mistake, he saw and friend requested me. I was just congratulating myself on dodging a bullet by chucking him when he sent me a cock shot. Idiot.

CocacolaMum · 21/06/2013 21:07

and for the record my response was "aww its not changed since we were 16. Poor thing"

Love Cocacola's enthusiasm for cock photo! But wow, the 'dodged a bullet' ex sent you a cock shot as a friend request?
Did he really think that a photo of his chipolata is going to make you swoon in remembrance? love the comeback btw!
