W hen Leah Holroyd joined a dating site five years ago, the year-old noticed a lot of men had listed The Great Gatsby as a favourite book. Holroyd found him pleasant enough, but she was looking for a relationship rather than just friendship, and he only ever talked to her about authors. After a couple of weeks, the bibliophile said he would be visiting London where Holroyd, who builds online learning courses, was living. He suggested they swap phone numbers to make arrangements easier. Nor does this just happen through online dating. Some men have used the AirDrop function on their Apple devices — which allows users to share files with other nearby Apple devices — to send unsolicited pictures to women.

Sending an unsolicited dick pic is the digital equivalent of flashing someone on a train. Which — fairly obviously — is a terrible vibe. The only difference, in fact, is that by sending a photo you're leaving very identifiable evidence of what a creep you are. So why do men continue to do it? That's the question researchers behind the first ever empirical study into unsolicited dick pics were trying to answer with "I'll Show You Mine so You'll Show Me Yours: Motivations and Personality Variables in Photographic Exhibitionism". Using an online survey, the team asked 1, respondents about their dick pic activities, and included a questionnaire measuring personality attributes like levels of narcissism and sexism.
M y friend went on a date with a woman last week who told him about her recent Tinder experiences, including a chat with a stranger who quickly sent her a dick pic. Which was fine, and consensual, and normal. Because, shortly after chatting to this stranger, she began chatting to another guy and, as before, the chat quickly dimmed and went blue, and he too sent her a dick pic.
Dick pics are everywhere, and nobody knows what to do about them. I think it's your dick, and how you fucking photograph it. A spate of recent papers seeks to engorge the discourse—and explore just why men are sending these nudes in the first place. According to Cory Pedersen, a psychologist and human sexuality researcher at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, about 50 percent of the dick pic senders she interviewed had no qualms sending an unsolicited photo of their genitals. The difference between the groups came down to two variables: narcissism and sexism.
