Is it normal for men you just met to text pictures of their privates?

I am a single female. Almost every time I meet a guy under totally normal circumstances, sometimes with, and often without there being a "romantic" context, "chemistry" between us, flirting, or any leading on, as soon as they get my number (under "I'd love to get to know you better" G-rated attraction with hopes of something more maybe if we get along, maybe we can have coffee and talk more, etc. or under totally innocent circumstances), they text me something very sexual totally unbidden, and/or shortly afterward text a picture of their private parts, also not asked for, and in some cases, specifically requested to *not* be sent.

Do they think this is going to make girls come running? Do they think this is considered suave? Sometimes I was in a relationship when I'd meet a guy where my number was requested, and I'd make this clear if I had any feeling the guy was trying to hit on me, and also if they requested my number ("oh, that's fine, I just was interested in some other non-sexual aspect about what I found interesting about you that you mentioned"). That didn't make a difference at all - they still did it. It still happened. Some of them were married!

Even when it was a situation when I was single, AND there was some interest, AND we would get a little flirty, it never went past cutesy flirting, where it was hinted I might be attracted, and so maybe if he played his cards right we could talk, get to know each other better, and maybe meet up again for coffee, lunch, what have you. Never was it hinted at that the next move after getting my number should definitely be to jump to saying something completely inappropriate, disgustingly vulgar and sexually aggressive, and then send a "d*ck" picture, unasked for. Their comments weren't even complimentary or an attempt to be sexy or turn me on, but nasty, aggressive and vulgar.

Do guys to lose their minds once they get a girl's number? Do they think, "Oh, she must want the 'D'," and the best way to get it must be to say the sickest thing they can think of and attach a d*ck picture. I mean, what makes them think the first move after meeting face-to-face and being sweetly, innocently flirtatious, is to send a text that jumps straight to something like "so, do you do an*l or what? I love licking feet once a woman's put her toes up my..." and those are some very mild examples. I mean, we haven't even been on a date or kissed or anything - first base, second base, none of that.

Why do guys go from normal flirtation (if that) straight to texts of sexually aggressive messages followed by a pic of their private parts? Are they trying to "not waste time" or what? Does that even work, ever? I'd like to know what female responds to that kind of thing positively when they never gave indication or permission to be spoken to on that level. What woman sees a text and pic like that and thinks, "Ooh, how hot! I'm going to throw myself at this guy now. When we met and were chatting earlier today at the bookstore he said maybe we can go to drink some chai tea sometime, but then when he texted me this pic of his member and said he wants me to do things to him with slide whistles and Vaseline while we watch raccoon porn! Yay, I'm going to call my mom and tell her I think I've finally found Mr. Right, but first let me grab my referee costume, go right over and sex him up right now!" Seriously? Why do guys do this? Is it normal?

    I have a very simple explanation. These guys assume you girls think like men. We men would obviously never refuse to see your pussy pics if you sent them without prior notice. Quite the contrary. Conversely most girls don't send them because they assume we think like girls and would find that gross.

    "Slide whistles and Vaseline while we watch raccoon porn"

    Someone's obviously been reading my diary again :P

    All jokes aside, I apologise on behalf of the male species who thought it'd be appropriate to send you such pics and messages.

    But do believe when I say there are some nice genuine guys still out there, maybe you're meeting the wrong kind of person in the wrong place?

    I've heard dating sites are pretty good now and have some very sincere guys on there looking for romance, either that or I'd recommend meeting friends of friends? At least then your friends can vouch for them and you could get to know them before going out for coffee dates :)

    Good luck OP and with the dick pics? That is an offense and you could definetly go to the police with it.

    Next time some creep sends you a pic of his shlong send him a pic of a steaming dog pile and then just block his number!

    Seriously, what do you do when this shit happens? Don't engage in any communication once they've pulled that crap. Just pretend the guy is dead or someone stole his phone and now the thief is texting you. Either way don't give em the time of day.

    • When it happens I usually send a text expressing that I didn't appreciate that, or I'll just start ignoring the person from that moment on without saying another word. I then make sure I keep the caller ID and add "NO - dkpk" or something to that effect under the contact name. After a few more ignored texts they usually stop.

      And I usually don't need to pretend anything since I stop speaking to them then and/or I don't usually know them well enough to have to "forget" them. It's tempting to pretend something else, but then I'd feel more sympathetic to them, and that benefit-of-the-doubt-giving has backfired before.

    The moral to this is don't give out your number to guys you don't really know.

    You have got to be careful about who you give your number to. You know how when you order food at Wingstop (or where ever) and they ask for your number incase you're late to pick up your order? Well, my sister did that one day, and the guy who took her order decided to be a creep and use her number to his personal advantage. He called her on multiple occasions asking her "If she wanted to fuck." She kept telling him no and that she was even in a relationship already and his only response was "It's okay. I'm in a relationship to." Bottom line is, you just have to be careful about who you're giving your number out to. Don't go to the library or where ever you meet these guys and give him your number because he seems to be a "nice guy" and just wants to have lunch or a coffee. You never know what's on these guys minds. The only time I give out my number to a guy is when I've developed some kind of friendship or gotten to know him better in person.

        I didn't say very close friends I said guys that she knows better. Clearly the guys she is giving her number to are only interested in one thing. You shouldn't give your number out just because someone asks for it.

    You probably attract the wrong kind of guys. Most men aren't like that, especially when they get a girl's attention. It would be too childish and stupid to ruin everything on purpose. But i might be wrong in my assumption. In this day and age, with all the pornographic material at their disposal, they might get the wrong idea about how this world works. Their depraved mind causing them to have unrealistic expectations.

    Good luck to you finding a guy who shows his face before his dick!

  • Hi OP. I'm very busy right now so forgive me if I'm rambling or repetitive I don't have time to edit this.

    "No hope to find a decent guy then, right? Just assume all guys who are nice or civil to to me just want sex? That's so depressing. "

    That shouldn't be depressing, it should be empowering.
    And no I didn't mean that's ALL they want. Good guys also want to get to know you and hope you're an awesome girl to be in a relationship with but sex is still a major reason they're after you and that's the way it should be.

    Now you know you get your pick of the litter and if a guy is flirty with you he wants to fuck ;)
    Why else would a complete stranger start talking to you and making an effort?
    He doesn't even know you, for all he knows you could be a serial killer so of course it's sex he's interested in :)

    Let's be honest the difference between one stranger guy you like and another stranger guy you don't like before you really chat them much is often how they look. That's sexual attraction.

    Guys can't help being very sexual creatures we're loaded with testosterone so we literally think about sex ALL the time. Like once every 5 to 20 seconds. I'd guess each guy is different but you get the idea. When we see a girl in public that's cute we're instantly imagining fucking them or them sucking our dick. That might sound crazy to you but it's true. In fact it's so common to us it's normal so it doesn't drive us crazy.

    Just because a guy wants to fuck you doesn't mean he's a bad guy it means he's attracted to you so it's a compliment. Not all guys are sleazy or low class about how they go about letting you know. If a guy either takes his time getting to know before trying to fuck you or is at least fun and flirty with you and you like it then I'd say there's nothing wrong about that.

    It's unwanted sexual suggestive content that is the real problem here, I doubt you'd have a problem with a guy you really were attracted to and wanted to fuck?

    You remind me of a young teenage girl who hasn't really learned much about sex yet?

    SOME exceptions to the case:
    When people are young for example in high school/teenage etc. It is possible that some of your male friends aren't trying to screw you. The reason why this is, is because a young person's time and energy isn't very important as they have no career, no obligations (no mortgage, no car payments, etc.) AND young people don't really yet know how to date well or go after what they want and they often lack confidence. Also young people tend to hang out in groups more than older people because they haven't really established their lives yet. That's often why people flock together: excessive time and lack of knowing how to get what they want/lack of confidence.

    When I was younger I had lots of guy friends and girl buddies. Well, as we got older almost ALL of my girl buddies admitted to me that they wanted to have sex with me and some wouldn't shut up so after many months I finally gave in and tried the FWB thing with them.

    "Makes me kind of wish I was a lesbian, but though I don't let on (at least consciously), I *do* like d*ck."

    LOL. Nah. Just know what guys really want :

    "Bad" guys just want to fuck or get their dicks sucked and will lie/do anything to get it and cheat on you.

    "Good" guys want to fuck, get their dicks sucked and hope you're a great girl for a relationship and will be honest about it and won't cheat on you.

    Btw, even if you tell a guy you've got a boyfriend and they pretend they're cool with it cause "I'm only interested in you as a friend" is generally BS. It means that guy is probably going to wait in the grass (like a snake) and pounce on you once you breakup with your bf or he cheats on you and you're feeling vulnerable ;)

    And.. Just to let you know, it works for girls also :
    When I was younger and was starting to meet girls at clubs, bars, etc.. I was often very polite and I didn't want to seem like I was out for a screw (because I wasn't) so I'd have good conversation with a girl I'd often say something like "Hey, I'm glad we met :) You and I have a lot in common, I think we're going to be great friends"

    You know what almost all the girls would say back ?

    "FRIENDS!? FUCK THAT! I'VE GOT ENOUGH FRIENDS, I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU!"

    LOL.

    Or they'd say something a little more polite but meant the same thing: they wanted sex and a relationship or just sex.

    I quickly learned people are primarily interested in sex on both ends of the gender and that's what they spend their time going after.

    Why shouldn't they?

    Adults are busy people. We work, we have family obligations, we already have lots of friends.

    When single we're missing a mate so that's the focus of our 'free time'.

    It makes perfect sense.

    • It makes a lot of sense. I thought about what you were saying outside of the situation and analyzed if I was really doing that, or considering that.

      The fact of the matter is, a few times I was attracted to the person so it was highly disappointing when they sent the pic. If he sends it so soon without any asking for it, I am led to believe those guys are then vain, presumptuous or both/more, but either way that's a quality that's a deal-breaker if you ever want to have sex with me. You need an invitation from me before doing that, and if you get it, you're in for a great time.

      If I want sex, I know how to get it. I take it straight past the d*ck pic stage into IRL introductions to the d. In most pics I've seen the real thing is more impressive than the picture, and if I were a guy, I'd never send a picture of mine. Why do guys think a pic of that will turn us on anyway? Most of the time if it's out I'm not making eye contact with it anyway, and even when I'm up close and personal I wouldn't do so because, without going into too much detail, staring too long would make me dizzy. I don't even think I'd be able to match a d*ck with a face even if I've seen both in person before. It's kind of like getting sent a picture of your elbow. Who cares?

      I like a sexy body overall, and a handsome face. I'm not thinking about that (or any one) body part by itself when I'm fantasizing about a hot guy - I'm thinking about how it feels inside me & what he's doing with it. But he's never going to get there if he jumps the gun before I clearly request it.

    • I don't really flirt in these situations unless I'm attracted to the person, and even then I'm not inviting the d*ck pic in the content or implications of the exchange. Usually I'm just nice/civil/not a b*tch, but I've been told by many people that it's often construed as flirting because I happen to be considered on the high side of attractive. Notice I'm being very modest in saying this, because when I mention it sometimes people believe I am being arrogant or bragging, but I am just giving information since no one knows what I look like, and this is what others tell me - males & females, friends, family and acquaintances. According to them, apparently it will "blow up a guy's ego" if/when I even give them the time of day, and they get super bold. So I ignore guys when they say, "Hey, hi," and try to get my attention to talk to me. I used to be reluctant to do that since I didn't want to be rude, but the facts are *some* guys are just "dogs", and I figure if they are going to be the kind of guy I want to be with, they'll have a better approach.

  • Nope totally not normal.

    It sounds like those guys are not only immature but they have no idea how to court and seduce a girl nor do they respect you.

    You must know by now that when a guy wants to get coffee or tea it's because he wants to fuck you?

    Guys don't hangout with girls they just meet to be 'friends'.

    Guys and girls have virtually nothing in common besides sex and guys and girls always have enough friends to already hang out with.

    They're trying to get laid and 'getting tea' or 'getting coffee' are just hoops they need to jump through to get you to take your clothes off and ride it.

    It sounds like you must be pretty cute and really flirty to these guys leading them on?

    Are you pretty young? / Teenager?

    • An ex said this about guys and girls to me before, and I hate to admit he was right, but I guess you just confirmed it. I was just hoping maybe some of them were being sincere, but I guess I was naive for giving them the benefit of the doubt, and believing they thought I had something to offer them they're interested in besides sex, but I guess I was dumb to think that too. No hope to find a decent guy then, right? Just assume all guys who are nice or civil to to me just want sex? That's so depressing. Makes me kind of wish I was a lesbian, but though I don't let on (at least consciously), I *do* like d*ck.

      But suffice it to say I do nothing to invite this behavior, and I know the difference. I understand it may seem like I must be, since it happens so often I actually wonder if it's normal or not (and that's exactly why).

      I've told guy friends about this phenomenon, and many have said I don't have to flirt or even be nice, just civil, but "guys are dogs" and I just have a "sexy way" about me.

      Next time a guy asks me for my number, I'll just spray him with mace and scream, "911, MOTHERF**KER!!!"

    • I love sending all kinds of sexy pics to the person I'm sharing that kind of thing with, like a boyfriend or lover, someone I've already established and granted permission to communicate with on that intimate level. In that case, however, I prefer action over pics or words, but when that's not an option, I'd rather exchange super hot sexts to increase the intensity of the desire and anticipation of our next explosively steamy encounter. But that's just me.

            • In that case, I'd insist on having at least two satellite-connected world phones. But all I'd be doing is retching into the receiver for the first eight months anyway, so it's probably moot.

              How long do you stay away from land at a time? Do you just live in constant motion being carried by wherever the day and the waves take you?
