Is the title too much? 🤣
I just had an interesting chat message with someone and I shared some advice on his profile (and reiterated that it is only MY advice, not that it's the "right" advice)... but now I'm curious: when looking at someone's profile pics, does seeing nothing but nudes or graphic photos attract you, or turn you off? Is it physical attraction only? Mental? Both?
For instance, as a straight woman, I do not give two shits about your dick pics. I don't. I really, REALLY don't give two shits what it looks like - especially when that's the only photo(s) I see. I'm on Fet (insert all the groans here, but I'm a fucking exhibitionist, ok?) and I see a LOT of dick pics there. And I just don't engage with men who have nothing but dick pics as their only pics. In fact, I have some dear friends who I adore... but I rarely show their dick pics any love when they post them. Fully clothed, or teasing and artsy shots? Thoughtful captions that make me feel something? Hell to the Yes!!
Posting nothing but a nude dick pic pointed at the camera? No thanks. But I digress...
Am I the only straight woman who feels this way? Do gay men look at a profile and see nothing but dick pics and think to yourself "Now this is someone I want to take seriously and get to know"? For the straight men and gay women, what goes through your head when you see a profile full of nothing but tits and cunts? Does it turn you on physically? Does it turn you on MENTALLY?
And does this feeling change based on role within the dynamic? Would a straight, DOMINANT woman feel differently about the dick pics or cunt shots? Does she see a profile with nothing but a caged cock and think "Yep, that's the man for me!"? Does this change based on age? So many questions!! I would love to do a survey to get some hard data and do an analysis of all the variables, but this forum post will have to do for now.
Can we discuss? And there is no "right" or "wrong" answer here, so let's try to be respectful of each other's viewpoints, ok? Ok, cool.
i'm just seeing this thread, been away a bit spending time on strictly gay sites. i sometimes feel like the token gay guy in The Cage lol, there don't seem to be many of us here, and fewer still who participate in the forums. Anyway, i think this is a great question, thanks for asking @aPeepingMom.
i wrote a really way too long detailed response, included studies on how most of communication is non verbal (i.e. it's visual). Then erased it (you're welcome Miki).
i think most guys post or send cock pics because, when they post/send it, that is what they are 'saying.' I.e., "I want to use my cock (RIGHT NOW)." Civilization and decorum be damned: "I want to fuck (NOW)". i don't think it's that guys don't want relationship or romance, i just don't think it's foremost on the agenda when their testosterone has kicked in.
So, a guy has this driving desire/need, has the ether buffer of the internet, and sends a "cock" pic instead of "a thousand words." i don't really think there is that much thought that goes into it, mostly untethered lust.
But.... we're not all wired the same. That's 'heteronormative" stuff.
i'm a gay, total bottom with some sub thrown in. i see a cock pic, and my unthinking, reflexive initial response is to want it in me. That's split second though. It's not 'just' the cock i want, it's the drive/need of the Man attached to the cock that i want.
And, here's were it gets more individual and why i whole heartedly agree that there is "no right or wrong answer" to these questions, i am not wanting my own orgasm, i am craving His orgasm/pleasure/release inside of me. When i see a "cock" pic, that's what is evoked in me. i experience a very intense, deep connection in that, and it's way more than physical. i'd love to find a Guy where we can talk about it, explore and disect all the emotions and thoughts that can be associated with the sex, but sex is never an empty, 'just physical' act for me.
i'm not put off by "cock" pics because i interpret them as His expression of need/desire, and if He is expressing it towards me, it evokes a receiving place in me that wants Him back.
