In Defense of the Dick Pic (Patreon)

Haha every time I read a tweet that’s like “MEN, NO WOMAN HAS EVER LIKED GETTING A DICK PIC, WHAT ON EARTH MAKES YOU THINK ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THAT?!” I’m always quietly like... 

...me... i see wanna that :|

OBVIOUSLY dick pic sending has to be done consensually!!!!!!! Just sending that unsolicited is super shitty!!!!! And sexual harassment!

Just. Y’know. 

Dick pics themselves aren’t the problem, people sending them uninvited is the Bad Thing. 

Consent, people! Gotta have consent from all parties when something sexual is about to go down. That includes sending photos of one's swimsuit area to another.

Like, can we shame the bad behavior and leave the attractiveness/desirability of a body feature out of it? Breasts, tummies, vulvas, butts, penises, ears, hands.... You take a close-up, devoid-of-context shot of any of them and then you send that to someone out of the blue? Yeah, that's going to look really abstract and alien and it's a really weird, rude, creepy thing to send someone. But that doesn't mean ALL breasts/tummies/vulvas/butt/penises/ears/hands are inherently unappealing! Cos they're not! Especially when that specific body part belongs to a person who turns you on so you see that picture and you're like "Hey, I have some awesome memories associated with that piece of this person" and then you're like "Dang, I wanna make some MORE awesome memories with that piece of this person right now." 

I'm not even saying anything new. 

I'm just. I'm just sayin'. I'm just sayin' QUIT DICK PIC SHAMING ME, RIGHTEOUSLY ANGRY TWEET WRITERS ON TWITTER DOT COM.
