Why do men send dick pics? Or to be fairer, why do the sort of men who send dick pics send dick pics?

If it comes at you out of the blue, then quite simply because they get off on sending you dick pics. Having you look at a picture of their penis gives them a cheap thrill, and since their cheap thrill is all that matters, happy days. It only takes one finger to click the 'send' button, and the other hand is busy doing other things.

If it happens later, I think it can be a misguided compliment. A sign of how excited you're supposedly making them (who knows when the picture was taken, or what they were thinking about at the time?) The thing is, "I like your pictures" is a complement. Add "while masturbating" and it no longer is. Guys will jerk off to just about anything when they're horny, including things that positively disgust them when they're not.

This is unfathionable to me. I first discovered of this on this site and some friends confirmed it. I must be really wierd andniave to think it is absolutely disgusting not to mention a total lack of self-esteem.

I think this is another area we can never get as most men would love a picture of a woman's Genitalia.

I'm 64 & never, even in my teen years understood why men would think the way to impress women was to expose themselves. I have always been heavy, but never had problems finding partners. Respect & treeting a lady like a lady worked better for me than excessive testosterone every time.

Even better the unsolicited wanking video, Reply is always "Yes, I know you're a wanker!"

The equalled unsolicited detailed critique of said member usually sorts out the problem too, especially with the footnote that if it was really unlike any I'd seen before then I wouldn't be interested anyway because it would have to be seriously deformed or diseased.

Part of this phenomenon could be a power trippy deal: you incredibly didn't ask for my dick pic...but I'm going to send it to you anyhow. Take that! Very juvenile at best. Very desperate at its worst.

Just because he is a Dick named Dick

I've never done this. I'm not as "bold" as the article mentions.

Some men have severe mental issues and in their fucked up brain, they think this impresses women. It would be like saying you were impressed with a rapist. I feel like saying "Is that the best you've got? And if so, you've really hit rock bottom."

I block them.

I don’t nor do I understand men who do.

Insecurities. They feel as though they have nothing else to offer...so they go with what primatively attracts them.

I am not sure why and I couldn't figure out why so many women complained and was seeing so many memes about it until it happened to me and received three random ones in under a week along with attempts to call me on messenger 2-3-4 am. Needless to say I blocked them really fast but I totally shared the pics with my gay friends and discussed the merits or lack of them thereoff and got a good laugh out of them. I still don't get it though cause to this day I've never thought of sending pictures of any of my private parts to someone, you want to see it you have to work for it. Leave some mystery alive!

Because they Assume you will be as excited as they are by this marvelous creature attached to them

There are a lot of factors in play. In part it's primitive thinking. Men like pictures of boobs, ergo women must like pictures of penises. There is also the hope a woman has gotten one and thought "huh, I would like to engage sexually with that." Statistically I'm certain it has happened, and desprit guy gotta play the odds. And of course there's those guys hoping for some quid pro quo.

Because they’re moronic?

My brain is unbelievably attractive, and I have an enormous heart, but neither are terribly photogenic ?

Most excellent article. I'm just going to share a part of it here...

Ultimately, the answer here lies in greater dialogue with men and women, over what they actually want in sexual communications. This might reach some of these men, those who are genuinely not understanding some sexual differences. But, this requires for women to have the safety to be honest about their sexual interests. For instance, could women ever say, "Look, I probably WOULD like to see your penis pic, but I'd like to be able to ASK for it..."? The shaming and suppression of female sexuality is part of the issue here, as men don't feel they understand what women actually want sexually, and women don't feel they can express it safely.

But I encourage you to read the whole article!
Also, don't be a dic.

I wonder if the appeal is similar to that of being forced to watch a man masturbate (such as Louis C K or Harvey Weinstein)? Perhaps they're not using it as a method of starting a relationship, but as a way to get release via sexual subjugation?

They think women are impressed by a big, firm, erection. I think they are mistaken.

I rather tend to agree with the Irish comic Dylan Moran who observed that by and large male genitalia resemble something hanging out of a shark's teeth.

God only knows. Somehow I feel that for those that do there is some kind of Freudian compulsion, a subconscious full-disclosure imperative to put the world on notice that "I am an obnoxious dick".

I'm with Resserts... lol. Words from the cowardly Lyon, what's he got that I ain't got? NERVE!

Men in accurate desription don't do these things. Males doing them are arrested in their sexual and emotional development due to untold but only imaginable damage. Their many juvenile, often destructive behaviors make actually being a man rather embarrassing in many circumstances. Furthermore, even the behaviors of lesser botched individuals makes it very difficult for us to honestly represent ourselves because of the natural barriers women understandably set up as a result of other males' conduct.

For example, being taken at one's word regarding such simple things as invitations out to points of interest, lunch, brunch, dinner etc. are most often evaluated and decided upon by women with a cautious aire of anticipation that one actually may not mean what they say or expects more from the meeting than what is stated. Men who say what they mean and mean only what they say are often vexed with having to compensate in some way for the disrespectful or disingenuous behaviors of those who've preceded them.

Take it to the bank that many of us are actually sincere in the specificity of our offers to get acquainted. It, admittedly and regrettably, might be a small some, but we do exist. It helps a lot when women honestly respond or reciprocate in gestures of mutual interest. too.

No idea, never done it and never will. Its uncouth and vulgar

Its as bad as religion being forced down your throat really...interestingly though, this post got way mor replies than 99% of most of the others out there.
Just sayin' 
