So where s the positive reinforcement? I guess they figure when women send pictures of their girl parts its hot, so it must be hot the other way around, right? come on, guys. If theres any candid picture you have that makes women moist, it would be your FICO score šŸ˜‰ ---

Actually, in the places where a woman flashing her breasts gets her beads, a man can flash his dick and get some beads, too. I know this thing to be true. And they were some very nice beads. ---

For me, the simple truth is, if you wouldnā€™t walk into my house with your dick hanging out of your pants and waggle it in my face, then donā€™t send it to my phone or my email or DM it to me on Twitter or anything else. Iā€™m more than glad to see the parts of someone Iā€™m actually sexually involved with in appropriately sexual circumstances. I might _ask_ to be electronically flashed if weā€™re long distance and I wonā€™t get to see it in person, but it would be under very carefully controlled circumstances. Unsolicited? Thatā€™s just sexual harassment. ---

Even in the heat of the moment of a dirty convo, a dick picture is just funny. Sorry, thems the facts. Iā€™m curious how you leapt from expressing your opinion on dicpics to calling them facts. Iā€™ve seen so many jerks generalizing this opinion over the past week and itā€™s REALLY starting to grate.

Iā€™ve requested them in the past. How do you account for that? Oh jeez, calm down. ā€œThems the factsā€ is a joking saying, obviously not intended to be serious. Sorry it upset you so much that you decided to resort to name-calling. Since itā€™s obviously too late for me to go back and edit my posts (which I thought were obviously being read as my own, personal experiences and perceptions, not the law Iā€™ve written as god/president of the world), let me be clear for anyone like our sweet **rachelellogram** who is misunderstanding my intent: anything I posted is written based on my own personal opinion, not fact, law or statute (moral or governmental). In fact, perhaps I was being too silly, too light hearted and joking in my tone, so I apologize for not taking the matter of unsolicited cock pictures with the gravity they out to be. And slut shaming? _Come on_. If you like dick pictures: more power to you. I donā€™t for sexual purposes. A lot of women I know donā€™t. You can diddle yourself to as many pictures of penises as youā€™d like without judgement from me, but come on- suggesting weā€™re ā€œslut shamingā€ because. . . we think pictures of cocks are funny? Youā€™re accusing a self professed slut of that. Idgi. ---

I would be truly shocked to find any of the anti cock picture posters in this thread that would actually judge another woman for getting off on dirty pictures. Thatā€™s not at all what they were saying and itā€™s a bit of a leap to go from ā€œTo be brutally honest, even the most impressive penis, which Iā€™m sure yours is, is rather ridiculous looking out of contextā€ to the idea that any woman who expresses sexual interest in a cock should be shamed and mocked roundly. ---

But this bitch likes dick pics, as long as I like the guy in question. You realize youā€™ve just qualified your response to agree with us, right? See, the reason these rich and famous men got into trouble is because their recipients _didnā€™t like the guy in question_. And I have ZERO doubt that either of them imagined that that was the case when they sent it. Rule of thumb: If youā€™re not 100% certain that itā€™ll be welcomed without laughter (or worse), then keep your penis in your pants. Now thatā€™s not so hard, is it? Yeah, sorry, that was bad. ---

And we here at Deadspin have gotten a great deal of mileage out of men who, in fit of... I agree with the writer that men can experience a level of horniness that women cannot understand, which can result in some truly bad decisions and errors in judgment.
