Has anyone ever actually been turned on by a dick pic?

Genuinely curious if this has ever worked outside of very specific, pre-arranged circumstances. Like is there a secret success rate no one talks about, or is this just the digital equivalent of throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping it flirts back?

I have never found a dick pic arousing, other than one occassion where the person made slightly more effort for the photo than just a POV shot of their nob. Solicited or unsolicited it just feels like im looking at a penis, and so what

It feels like we’re watching the longest-running group project where no one wants to admit it’s failing. I feel like women typically put a bit more effort into nudes??

Have you ever been turned on by a dick pic?

Idc if im being unreasonable dick pics are just not it

I was mildly amused at a photo of a man being tasered in the bollocks, but not turned on per se.

😆

She's lying

Maybe someone should design some nice penis accessories for the lads to decorate their penis, a small tie bow, glittering top hat, edible jewellery, a gold crown 👑 you get the gist. Jazz them up a bit.

He's in for a rough time if it's a candy bracelet, wrapped round it like a bobble

I remember being told I was cold and hardwork because I didn't go all giddy over some guy's unwanted dick pic. It looked gross and slimy 🤢.

God I don't even doubt that this is something a man said. Should have told him to see a doctor, or the shower

Are the men who send them actually doing it to turn women on, though? Or to turn themselves on?

Oh it's always about themselves

Such typical Mumsnet. “I don’t find dick pics sexy” “Have you never had a sexy conversation? Mumsnetters really hate sex!”

The jumps made on mumsnet are so big they would win gold in the Olympics

Are they intended to be arousing? I always assumed they were intended to be agressive. Give the sender a thrill but not the recipient.

Slackbladder22 · 20/07/2026 12:15

Sorry not read the whole thread🤣 I meant she loves when I send her ‘personal’ pics

Nudes - yes
Dick pics - hellllll no

Yes this is what I've concluded from this thread. I kinda felt that way a bit in the first instance, and I think often times they expect some sort of fawning and praise back. Why, I do not know, as I don't fawn and praise packs of pork sausages in Co-op when I see them, which is pretty much the equivalent of witnessing a dick pic

The act of taking it and sending it turns men on. As usual, it’s nothing to do with us.

worldshottestmom · 20/07/2026 19:02

She's lying

Given the conversations we have about them I’d be surprised if she was. I do get in general they are gross though, I’ve never sent one outside of a relationship. When I was one OLD I left well alone

She doesn't. Trust me she really doesn't.

She's playing along as it obviously turns you on and she's likely concerned your performance is lacking without her encouragement.

I used to like a previous man filming himself masturbating and send to me so I must be weird . In general though just a photo doesn’t really do anything for me

bryceQ · 20/07/2026 20:35

I mean a random one no I would be repulsed.

my husband….. I very much like his.

Interested to know what that effort might have been.
Arranged amongst a bowl of seasonal fruit?

Absolutely not.

I do this too actually. She actually requests fresh ones now and again. Usually using her knickers if that’s not too much information🤣

MaIeficent · 20/07/2026 23:28

I always thought it was more like flashing than an act of giving. 😆 Intended to shock.

oviraptor21 · 09/04/2026 20:39

Unsolicited - yeuch!
Part of a consenting relationship - yep.
Googling - maybe.
All preferred if presented with a degree of artistry 😂

This.

Please don't speak for all women. When my best friend and I decided to get together, part of that decision was based on the fact that he'd asked if I'd like a dick pic and I'd said yes.

And who says romance is dead?

Do tell us more, OP. You are your best friend have been platonic friends for years, meeting for catch-ups, talking about current affairs, bad TV and your dating lives, and suddenly, out of the blue, good old Dave says 'Eh, would you like it if I sent you a photo of my erect penis?'

I mean, first of all, there's no romance. We're best friends and that and our sexual relationship are intertwined, so we wouldn't call it friends with benefits either. It's more committed than that. We were talking with other friends, he's a DnD DM and he asked if I'd heard an NPC voice he does, he did it and I liked it a little bit more than I expected, when we all went home we were talking on Discord, originally he was asking where my line was with the jokey flirting we'd always done, but at some point it stopped being a joke for either of us. He asked if I'd like a dick pic and I said yes. We then spent a few months each working out what we wanted, and we're now very happy.
