I don't think that's effective, I don't do it. Ogi Ogas & Sai Gaddam did some analysis which would suggest that dick pics are not effective, given that imagery of penises (and visual stimulus in general) is not a major factor in female arousal. From a personal "moral" perspective I don't see myself doing that. Excellent question nonetheless. Nobody really seems to think much when they do things like this. I think the reason men* send dick pics is because they (the men) are naturally aroused by imagery of penises, and think that women will be similarly aroused by it. It's probably a lot like a women giving complimenting a man on social stature, confidence, or competence, and maybe not understanding that he probably won't understand what she's getting at. * Edit: referring to straight men in this case

Are you saying that gay men are trying to find female dates by sending them dick pics? I have to say, those gay men sound quite confused ...

  Maybe I wasn't precise enough, but I'm not sure exactly how you're reading that. Gay and straight men would, following this research, be more aroused by imagery of penises than women. The dick pic sending instinct would probably be, if not absolutely successful, relatively more successful than it is for straight men. All men (gay and straight) appear to look to chests, penises, and butts for visual cues to sexual arousal.

    Straight men are aroused by penises? And sending dick pic by linked is instinct?

I think you could have avoided the downvotes (edit: and be more correct IMO) if you just said that the men who send dick pics to women are the type that would welcome women sending intimate pictures of themselves. Edit: I am not wondering about the motives of straight women sending nude pictures to men; I am just giving a more plausible reason than what I think you gave as to why some men might think the idea could be effective. (i.e. looking at how they might react to it). Besides, isn't the point that a person sends photos of themselves?

  > I think you could have avoided the downvotes if you just said that the men who send dick pics to women are the type that would welcome women sending intimate pictures of themselves. But that would be nebulous, inaccurate, and entirely beside the point. I have no evidence of the statement you just suggested, and I would not suggest it. The fact is that no man, straight or gay, is currently litigating for the privilege not to see other sex nudity on LinkedIn InMail; thus it makes no sense to wonder about the motives of straight women who send nude pictures to men on LinkedIn for attention. Aside: I don't care about avoiding downvotes, I'm not an agreeable πerson (in the psychometric sense). I don't think life is worth living if you strive to only say things that people won't disagree with. For example, watwut on the other subthread is shocked, probably shocked enough to downvote and move on, that I would say that straight men are sexually aroused by imagery of penises. I don't care. If I look at my statements for the last month or so, there's a mix of positive and negative feedback, the balance happens to be roughly +100 karma, but I don't so much care as long as I have enough karma to upvote.

  I suspect, after dealing with many men of this type, that they are simply juvenile frat boy types who believe they are alpha status males. Some get away with it because they're rich. These are men used to getting everything they want and who are used to basically purchasing their women.
