Why do guys send dick pics?!

125 replies

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?

@Scottishnurse

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

I think it should be a criminal offence tbh.

There was a poster on here last week talking about some strange behaviour from a guy she'd been on a few dates with who said she liked receiving them from him. I can't think why.

I am so not street anymore! Confused

Lpc3 · 15/01/2022 15:03

Some women do like receiving them.

Useresque · 15/01/2022 15:03

When you've been happy enough to see an impressive specimen IRL, I find the idea of 'ordinary' men sending pics of their average penises rather quaint. (And pathetic, of course).

UserBot314159 · 15/01/2022 15:05

Do any women seriously enjoy receiving them? I'd say it's that they're so determined to be whatever men want them to be that they convince themselves they're a cool girl not like those other girls.

Mistysnow · 15/01/2022 15:38

Do you think they are impressed with their dick or maybe feel they have no better qualities to offer so here, take a look at my penis thats pretty much all ive got to give Hmm low self esteem surely? What if we suddenly started sending pictures of our toes or ears... nobodys bloody interested i wish somebody would let the generation that does this know

Treacletreacle · 15/01/2022 16:50

The creepy guy at work sent one to my friend and had placed the remote control next to it...we were assuming to give a size guide 🙈 i also received a random dick pic one evening with the message "hi sue here is the picture you asked for"....my name is not sue. Not sure if Sue gave a wrong number or this man was just fishing for a reply. 🙈🙈🙈

Yankeescot · 15/01/2022 17:11

My friend received a dick pic from a guy she was chatting to on OLD years ago. I told her to respond "Oh look! It's like a penis. Only smaller!"
Fortunately I never received one when I was OLD. Wtf are these guys thinking?

Thisisworsethananticpated · 15/01/2022 22:14

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

That’s really tickled me 😂 hard
But if anyone’s had a soft please share

CheeseMmmm · 15/01/2022 23:50

There was read on here yonks ago.

I never had dick pic, thank fuck. Not been on market since OLD etc kicked off big time.

Anyway naturally I assumed they were erect.

Anyway this thread loads of women said had got flaccid pics!

I was completely flummoxed. Still baffled tbh. I mean .. just. What??? That's. Surely not!

This was few years ago, maybe men got less iffy about whether going too far or etc. Flashing etc. Definitely porn style.

But WHY would any bloke ever ever do that?

Mystifying.

CheeseMmmm · 15/01/2022 23:53

'Do you think they are impressed with their dick or maybe feel they have no better qualities to offer so here, take a look at my penis thats pretty much all ive got to give'

OMG hahaha that made me think-

Are they saying 'i am a nob/dick/complete penis' 🤣🤣🤣

That would make loads of sense!

We've cracked this conundrum I reckon!

curmudgeonly007 · 16/01/2022 08:07

@Gilda152

I've never received one either but surely only men could take a stab at guessing or informing us why men do it.

If I had a penis I'd DEFINITELY be taking photos of it to see it from different angles, they're fascinating and weird! I wouldnt be sending it to anyone though

I’m a penis owning person, when you have always had one, you don’t think it’s fascinating or weird, it’s the thing you pee through and have sex with, the only people who should be seeing it are you and the person you will (hopefully) be having sex with, There are all much of a muchness’s really. As for vaginas, those things are really weird and fascinating (if you don’t own one), and are just about as unpleasing to look at.

@fallfallfall

i should ask my son, yes my son age 35 or so at the time....he accidently sent me one meant for his girlfriend. during christmas dinner...i recognized a large birthmark on his tummy right away... so awkward i'm NOT allowed to mention it but equally funny and i did pass it about to all at the table (dh, dd and her partner).
Sorry, do I understand correctly that you passed a photo of your son's dick to everybody at table, including your daughter?Confused
BraveGoldie · 16/01/2022 09:19

@CheeseMmmm

Surely the likelihood of getting pic back from unsolicited dick pic isn't 1 in 5 goes, more like well. 1 in loads and loads!
I don't know- that's what puzzles me. Men are ultimately self interested...... I'm sorry to say, I think the 'success rate' must be reasonable if men keep doing it?

I suspect a lot of women just think 'euch...' but don't express disapproval or block? And then there must be some that get a positive response?

If all women just coordinated the same blanket "you're a sad idiot" then block response, surely 90% of it would die out? (Those remaining being the ones who are really motivated by sexual violence and violating women's boundaries)

BraveGoldie · 16/01/2022 09:27

@Gilda152

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!!
I get it Gilda! It is fascinating in a weird way..... like who would design something like that? It's so silly looking.... multifunctioning.... changes loads depending on the circumstances, very poorly controlled/ coordinated by its user.... and the way balls disappear and reappear..... Grin
Isitreallyme12777 · 16/01/2022 09:40

I received one from this guy, it was disgusting (and slimy🤢). When I didn't respond to it or his attempt at sexting I was told I was cold and hardwork and that he didn't understand me. What's there to understand, I don't know you, have never met you and you've just sent me a picture of your slimy cock.

The worst was the one who wanted a video call only so he could have a wank (that ended pretty quickly). That actually made me feel violated.

You have to stay off these theads !! They won’t cheer you up or spark 🤩

That’s 50 shades of EnvyEnvy

I’m a fan of sexting etc but that would really upset me too

Oh I don't doubt it!! So you think the same as me just about vaginas instead - got it . Love to be on the same page ☺️

GoodnightGrandma · 16/01/2022 11:43

@PonyPatter44

They are basically sex offenders in training. Sending a woman a picture of your cock is akin to flashing her. Men really don't like it when you point out that they are sex offenders.
I absolutely agree.
Gilda152 · 16/01/2022 11:45

@BraveGoldie right?! I think men can have gorgeous penises and I'd love to spend a day as a man and see which one I'd get allocated.

As stated though I would NEVER send a picture of my genitals to anyone, met DH on tinder , we've been married 4 years and together 7 and to this day we've never sent each other pics, it's just not for him or me. Nor did I ever receive a dick pic but I also never had sexual chat with anyone OLD either.

Outbutnotoutout · 16/01/2022 15:34

I just don't understand why it's not already an offense.

How can sending unsolicited genital pictures be considered fine 🙄😡

Thisisworsethananticpated · 16/01/2022 16:41

I get it Gilda! It is fascinating in a weird way..... like who would design something like that?

From a practical design perspective I get the penis
It’s a pipe basically to shoot a liquid

The vagina however is more curious
Why al the labia etc ? Why not just a plain hole like the arse

You got me and I've got one. I'm sure we'll have some biologists along in a min though to explain it although on a very basic level I assume it's be tricky to squeeze a baby out of a bumhole so I guess it's to do with expansion etc? Don't know. I've got to 50 without knowing much about it but just being glad it's there 😁

I forgot about babies
That’s so bad

Bit still , labia
And pubes while we’re at it
