Oh. There’s so much older stuff on the page right now, this doesn’t come up as an older thread with the extension. I thought he’d done something new, not just the consequences for his previous actions. > [@marshmallow](#): > > Nearest I can tell, aside from narcissism and dominance signaling, is it’s the typical mind fallacy at work. Guys are visually oriented and would like it if women sent naked pics to them, so they assume women would appreciate the same. These men may see signs of this not being true in the wider culture, but may just dismiss it as examples of women laboring under the double standard and having to keep up a front while believing differently in private. I could believe that, but there’s one more snafu. I at least don’t really want random women sending me pictures of just their vagina, either. A nude pic? Sure. But just the vagina? That’s kinda too far. Am I unusual in this? I already know I’m unusual in not liking to see penises in my porn, and not liking it when they zoom in on just the genitals. I want to see the person and reactions, while also seeing what they are doing. To me, it would make a whole lot more sense if guys just sent risque pics, showing off their physique. That would be analogous to what I might find fun from a random lady. ---

Don’t relate to the idea of sending pictures of your dick to anyone. What the hell for, if you have to send a picture…well, you’re not there, are you? Most men aren’t that proud of it, are they? Maybe that Freud thing about penis envy is exactly backwards, maybe its shame, and that’s why we are always looking for someplace to hide it. ---

[Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=610638&highlight=Weiner) is the thread I started when Weiner initially denied doing anything wrong, blaming it on his account being hacked. You could not write a book about a guy with that name doing what he did and get it published. Too impossible to be believed. ---

First you gotta take the roll to the Fotomat, wait at home for the call, pick up the prints and negatives— and how the hell do you even get one into the phone, anyway? Slot’s way too small, even for wallet size. ---

The vagina is inside the body, the vulva is the area outside the body. She’d need a speculum camera to snap pics of her vagina; that would be kinda too far (inside)! ---
