Felicity Discusses The Dick Pic Phenomenon Dick Pics - Comic Phoebe Robinson produced a dick pic parody commercial, and it is perfection! The premise is that Sears now offers penis photographyprofessional pic shoots to create your dick pic. As a bonus, you may also have your penis reenact scenes from films like Of Mice and Men. The movie ends with the salesman saying, Thus call now, make an appointment and get the pictures your dick, and the women you barely understand, deserve. With the rise of the Internet, has come the rise of the penis pic (no pun intended). While I'm sure men have long loved creating member selfie artwork, these days it is never been simpler to shoot and share dick pics with anyone. There's really nothing wrong with dick photographs in and of themselves. Sending you can be a healthy form of sexual expression and I do not believe a closeup image of a member is obscene. Perhaps nothing demonstrates this better than a Tumblr website I found called Critique My Dick Pic. (http://critiquemydickpic.tumblr.com/) The young woman that created Critique My Dick Pic, encourages people to send in their dick pics for her to grade. She's not critiquing the genuine member, though. She evaluates the artistic merits of the picture the angle, light, originality, Steph's Pond: A Pastoral Nudist Park and Naturist Club Campground in Upstate New York , etc. It's totally bizarre, but kind of wonderful. I am all for helping guys shoot better penis pics because most of the ones I get are really bad, artistically speaking. She's also very body-favorable about it ("no size shaming") and tries to ensure it is diverse with people of color and trans* folk. Dick Shooting a Selfie - A Dick Pic! In a interview on salon.com, the originator is asked about the worst dick pic she is ever personally gotten. She reacts: Every dick pic I've ever had throw at me unsolicited is the worst dick pic I've ever gotten. It's f*cking obnoxious, and some men do it constantly. I don't care how wonderful your cock is, man, if I haven't accepted to see it I 'll be nothing but unimpressed. And so we reach the problem with the dick pic - it is frequently an unsolicited pic sent to strangers. As a non-consensual action, this form of sexual harassment and male aggression is becoming a prevalent phenomenon. Through social networks, dating websites and certain mobile apps, we have learned only how common it is for men to engage in this sort of lewd behaviour. I have received such photographs on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. I really wish I could un-see some of them (I won't go into detail, but some were more than merely an erect penis.). Jordan has additionally received them on Facebook so I know this happens to men, too. But based on the amount of sexual harassment women deal with online, I'm willing to wager this occurs to women more than men. A new Pew Research study of online harassment found that women are disproportionately impacted by online sexual harassment 25% of young women ages 18-24 reported experiencing it. What exactly is the driving force behind the dick pic phenomenon? The online sex research compiled by Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam in the publication,A Billion Wicked Ideas, may shed some light on this particular common male behavior. As we mentioned in our post on penises, they found that in regards to online pornography, guys seek out pictures of organs nearly as much as vulvas. This really is regardless of sexual orientation. So if manhood are just as much of a sexual signal as vulvas, it would make sense for men to want to photograph, look at, and share their own "gear". In this salon.com post (http://www.salon.com/2011/06/02/crotch_shot/), Ogas is quoted saying: Men who send off penis photos probably are not thinking at all, they're reacting to an unconscious, evolutionary impulse likely inherited from our primate ancestors: man monkeys and apes habitually exhibit their member (normally erect) to females to signal sexual interest. So in evolutionary terms, the dick pic men are essentially acting like monkeys. Others theorize that guys send dick pics because they incorrectly think girls share precisely the same visual signals as them. So if men are turned on by genitalia, they believe girls must desire to see theirs, too. And why hit on her with words when you can only send a dick pic? In reality it seems many girls are disgusted, amused or bored (if the sender is non-threatening) upon seeing a random penis photo. Are there women who enjoy dick pics? Sure, absolutely. But I'm still going to go with the thought that guys mostly send dick pics for their own satisfaction and enjoyment and not with a woman's sexual desires in head (unless the woman has really asked for them). It should be noted that sending member photographs is absolutely not a naturist pastime. Anyone sending them is acting from a sexual or exhibitionist instinct, not because they are a nudist (or promise to be). Naturism appears to pull exhibitionists, but a distinction must be drawn between them both. the standard in Europe for several years, and while a bit slow to "catch on" in the US expose themselves to other folks for their own sexual gratification. Naturism is about nonsexual societal nudity. Anyone who drives their dick pics or nude pictures on others, just isn't welcome at FKK or in naturist settings. What I expect we've learned here is that there surely is nothing wrong with sending photos of your genitals to consenting individuals. This can be quite a healthy form of sexual expression or as demonstrated by the blog, artistic self expression. Unsolicited dick pics, however, are most unwanted and constitute harassment. Perhaps society will evolve to the stage where the penis won't be so taboo, and folks can learn to only share dick pics in a wholesome, consensual way. We're not monkeys, after all.
