I've never sent a dick pic and I don't know if my anxiety/insecurity would allow me to send one even if it was requested.

I can't fathom just sending one to a stranger without being asked for it.

I've gotten some on Discord. Men don't send unsolicited dick pics to show off, they show them to harass. I only get them from people I'm not paying attention to. Like if someone messages me and I stop messaging back that's typically when I get them. You can't fathom doing it because you're (hopefully lol) not someone who would sexually harass people. They don't feel shame for doing it. To them, getting any sort of reaction to it is the goal. Telling them "you're disgusting" would be giving them attention and something they want.

PSA: When you get unsolicited dick pics, block and report. Don't respond. Don't reward their behavior. If you'd like to go on some crusade to tell their mother (I've seen some people do that lol) that's another topic, but never reply to them directly by saying anything.

It sounds like my experience is a little different from this woman's though, I typically get them after I stop answering. I haven't ever gotten one in the first message. But the "uh, hello??" part tracks with what I've seen. It's attention seeking behavior.

Me neither I did it once after she pretty much threatened to strangle me if I didn't. 🤣 And yes we still have contact to this day.

But I will never send one unsolicited, it's so fucking weird, it's the same as the flashers in the park, what 30 years ago, dumb fucks with no common sense or decency.

And it is so useless, I mean the woman that would like it I wouldn't like, and the woman I would like will hate it. So there is nothing to gain unless you have a really low bar.
