Close to half of millennial women in America have, at some point in their lives, received an unsolicited dick pic.
...
And Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd told Texas lawmakers in a May hearing that “it feels like men and women are being told that this increasingly common problem is really no big deal.”
“Women in particular are expected to laugh this sort of thing off,” Herd said, according to the Tribune.

seriously though. The only pictures of John Thomas I’ve ever received were by request.4

I have to be honest, I have received my fair share of unsolicited "Peter" pictures. I am an absolute child and find it really funny. Especially the one time I innocently opened up a snap on the treadmill and the nosy man next to me got a flash of someone's 🍆 His face 😂 I've deleted Snapchat for this reason, but never considered it sexual harassment.2

I have 2 strategies for dealing with this that I use if the dude is sending me that kind of pic way too soon, especially if I’m not sure I even like him like that.
1.) I send him a random D pic back so he can see what it feels like. No man wants to see that.
2.) I tell him he just doesn’t measure up so he can be in the just friends zone.
Trust me, these strategies work and will deter them from doing it again.
😁
I wouldn’t do this to someone I actually liked though. 😇

OR... if you get one. You can always reply by asking him if he names it after a computer company. Then he'll be all confused and say what??? Then you tell him "Microsoft"
OR... send them my way6 -
I like the lady who made an art exhibit of all the unsolicited ding-dongs she received over the course of a year or so. She displayed them in a room made to look up like her living room.. as though they were portraits instead of just phallic images. :laugh:
I feel like that's at least a creative use for them.5 -
As someone named Peter I'm not sure whether this is something I should feel good or bad about...8

I feel like the angle would really define the title.
1) A guy's perspective as to the WHY after sending one? I dunno this one, which I guess is *probably* a good thing even if I feel like I'm not participating in ye olde internet traditions
2) A guy's perspective when receiving an unsolicited pic of a woman? Lemme hazard a guess--"lol bro best day ever"
3) A guy's perspective when receiving an unsolicited pic of a man? Lemme hazard a guess--"silence"2 -

#1 would be interesting. like dude, how often does that yield the results you’re looking for? or maybe, what ARE the results you’re looking for?4 -
