When the Anthony Weiner scandal came down a while back, I participated in a conversation among some septuagenarian men about the whole thing. There were gay and straight participants in the conversation, and unanimity on one point: Weiner must be gay, because no straight man would ever send a picture of his chest or his cock to a woman, and no woman would ever want to receive such a shot.
“Um,” I said. This was a little awkward, as the group wasn’t exactly a group of either intimates or peers. “I’ve done it,” I volunteered, somewhat timidly, “and I promise you, I’m straight.”
To a man, they looked at me like I was from Mars. “You have?!?” several exclaimed at once.
“Yes,” I said. “And you know, I suspect that most of my peers have,” I added. “At least the ones with relatively open and comfortable sexual relationships.”
Clearly, there’s a difference between sexting (“I want to fuck you.” “Touch yourself and think of my cock sliding into your mouth.”) and sending pictures. And there’s a further difference between sending pictures of my chest, or shoulders, or biceps, or face, and sending pictures of my cock. AND there’s a further difference between sending a picture of my cock straining against my jeans, or underwear, and sending a picture of MY COCK. And it’s funny – I have no stand-alone desire to send (or see, or take) pictures of my cock. For myself, for anyone. But when, in the context of a distant buddy or sexting relationship, a woman says, “Send me your cock.,” or some such? It makes me feel so hot to comply. Or to tease.
And I’m pretty sure I’m straight. 
Having a preference for the erotic – by which I mean suggestive rather than explicit, then a photo through fabric is my preference – and then only if I am in a ‘relationship’. Not sent at random. But I have received an explicit shot; of a cock with which I was well acquainted, and it was indeed a rare delight. At the time I was in the middle of a busy day, dashing from A to B. When the text arrived I had to resist the urge to lick my iPhone 🙂
I read this post and I thought to myself. “I must be living in some alternate universe” I have been sent many pictures of cocks, chests, buttocks any part of the male anatomy. Some were solicited, some were definitely NOT. Most of the guys sending them identified as straight although a fair proportion would identify as perhaps having a ‘twist’. Most of the Facebook groups I have been included in feature guys posting pictures of their member for female viewing pleasure and the females LOVE viewing them.
Do I live in an alternate universe? I think not. I would venture to say that the men in the group you describe are the ones who come from Mars.
I totally agree. I intended really to tell people about this other world that exists.
Someone recently took a series of lovely photos for me. They were meant to tease and they did the job.
Pics or it didn’t happen. 😉
I think you do a fine job, through this blog, of telling people that another world exists… thank you by the way!
