Why do guys send dick pics?!

125 replies

emilyintheSE · 12/01/2022 22:00

On OLD... Just why?! I'm so not interested in seeing a photo of your penis!!

I'm not a prude, and I'm early 30s, so very much of the "dating app generation".

Surely men know this by now? It's been going on for years and I don't know any of my girl friends who have said "you know what, I love receiving a dick pic"

Or are me and my friends in the minority?

I read about someone replying "Bet you wish yours was that size. Now send a picture of yours" and then block them.

Iamanicepersonreally · 15/01/2022 09:28

Because the men are dicks

Overtime · 15/01/2022 09:30

Some people ask for them!!

Thisisworsethananticpated · 15/01/2022 09:31

@HoliHormonalTigerlilly

Do you all report these cretins?
You can't send photos while chatting on (the ones I have used anyway ) dating apps. Hence why I always found that they are very keen to get your number and move over to whatsapp etc.

I don't give out my number easily and if I did after being on the app a while , this would be where I would say if they sent me a penis pic then they are going to get blocked, so are you sure you want to swap numbers. The reply to that every single time was 'oh I am not like that, I would never do that' etc etc. But prior to me adding in the post number swap disclaimer, there would be a dick pic about 80% of the time. I don't have hundreds of matches to base that on. But 8 out of 10 was about accurate.

@sadpapercourtesan

I think some of them get a thrill from it. They've intruded on you, forced an intimacy on you that you wouldn't have agreed to had you had the choice, and it turns them on. Gross.
yeh, this is it, it's all about them. I used to wonder why they did it as it doesn't get them anywhere does it?

But they don't care what the recipient thinks. The intrusion turns them on. Shocking really.

CouldThisReallyBe · 15/01/2022 09:42

@Libella

Um... how do can they prove that it's their dick?

I've never been sent a dick pic, btw.

THIS!!

My theory is that it's me with low self esteem who have no other USP (and maybe even not that one if they're using a fake pic).

Thisisworsethananticpated · 15/01/2022 09:55

I did have one really strange one messaging me last summer
But I think he was fake but the photos were genuine as it was a tad , diminutive 😂

Gilda152 · 15/01/2022 10:09

Why are people questioning that I think penises are fascinating? Let me live my life 😆 wouldn't want a dick pic, never been sent one but if I had my own I think I'd find it an amazing bit of kit!!

The problem with this is that it might actually be theirs, in which case they’ll take it as a compliment.
Whydoesthecatalwaysdothat · 15/01/2022 10:38

There really should be a button to report this stuff on Whatsapp.

Agree with the poster who said that if the shoe were on the other foot and this was women doing it to men it would have long been a punishable offence.

I just despair really.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 15/01/2022 10:42

Maybe it’s my age but it doesn’t bother me 🤷‍♀️
It really upsets me when it happens to teenage girls though , or to anyone it triggers

But I either block , or warn early that unexpected dick pix are a turn off , or in some cases I like
It

I can’t really report someone if we are having a very sexual chat in the first place

You can now. It must be a new feature. I blocked someone this morning and now you get the option to report the number, and when you do it sends the last 5 messages with the reporting.

It wasn't a dick pic but a scam in which I've won a million bucks, but I was quite pleased to see that option available.

Echobelly · 15/01/2022 13:11

I've never got this either... I presume it's mostly a power play, this'll-shock-ya kind of thing, but I also think some guys genuinely... think it'll turn women on?

A lot of guys just don't know women that well and I think there is still this kind of saucy-seaside-postcard idea that woman all want a big schlong and we all sit around talking with our girlfriends about how endowed the men we sleep with are, whereas women actually don't care half as much about cocks or the size of them than men think, or popular culture suggests.

Lpc3 · 15/01/2022 13:18

Same reason women send unsolicited pictures of themselves I guess. I've had all sorts, often involving toys etc (sorry if tmi)

MsWalterMitty · 15/01/2022 13:20

Because they’re ugly

Whatissleep79 · 15/01/2022 13:30

@ABCeasyasdohrayme

I used to get them all the time, I started sending them back "do you want to see mine?" and then sent them the previous unsolicited dick pic I got.

I was blocked so many times 😂😂

Love this made me laugh 😂
Sonaftersonafterson · 15/01/2022 13:47

I send this

"Did you just send me a picture of a childs penis?"

Honestly works every single time.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 15/01/2022 14:38

I tend to say early on in the flirting (so they start with a hard on through clothes photo , which I like ) that to please NOT send me a bare dick pic without me asking for it
Boundaries and all that 😁

LadyPenelope68 · 15/01/2022 14:43

I think it all stems from porn. They get a kick out of seeing pictures/videos of women’s bits, so for some reason think all women are going to get a kick out of seeing their dick, when let’s face it, they’re ugly looking appendages at the best of times.

LadyPenelope68 · 15/01/2022 14:44

@Sonaftersonafterson

Great put down 🤣🤣

Scottishnurse · 15/01/2022 14:51

I've often wondered this. Surely no one has ever reacted positively to one.

I think it should be a criminal offence tbh.

Genius! Grin

Enlighten me, because OLD only took off after I met Mr Frozen.

Are the dic pics floppy or hard as a general rule?
