Dicks pictures as profile. Why?
Jump to: Newest in thread
To all men, is any of the below reasons apply to you? Let's open the debate
1. Anonymity: Swinging and other forms of non-monogamous sexual behavior can still be stigmatized in many societies, so participants may choose to maintain their anonymity by not showing their faces. They might want to prevent potential consequences in their personal or professional lives.
2. Sexual Expression: These men may believe that showing their genitals is an effective way to express their sexual desire or to attract potential partners on a platform like FabSwingers, which is a site specifically designed for swingers.
3. Misunderstanding of Desire: There might be a misconception that potential partners will be more attracted to explicit sexual images rather than personal characteristics or physical attractiveness more broadly. This could be a result of the objectification of bodies in certain pornographic materials, leading to a skewed understanding of what is desirable or appealing to others.
4. Exhibitionism: Some people get sexual pleasure from the act of exposing themselves to others. This behavior could be an expression of that desire.
5. Peer Behavior: If a lot of men on the platform are displaying explicit images, new users might think this is the norm or an unspoken rule and follow suit, even if they might not have done so otherwise.
6. Directness: Some users might think that such explicit display may filter out those who are not interested in what they have to offer, effectively saving time and effort in finding compatible partners.
Again, it's important to remember that these are potential reasons and might not apply to everyone. People's motivations can be complex and multifaceted.

"Dicks can be handsome. Do you complain when the picture is of a pussy?"
To be fair dicks get a lot of hate but some if the gynaecology pictures on here are just as bad |

I think the only “debate” is that it’s their profile and they can display what they want within site rules. Same for any of the members (no pun intended) here |

Some people have all dick pics, some have all boobs or fannies while others have all face pics.
Variety in pics is also appealing to most.
There's not really a discussion or debate to be had because it's all subjective.

Interestingly my most fabbed pic from a very eclectic bunch with very few cock pics is a pic of my cock.
Logic therefore suggests to me that in fabland then that is my most popular pic and therefore would make a suitable profile pic.
But perhaps I’m not reading nearly enough into it. |

My second most fabbed pic is a dick pic so someone out there likes it. |

On a sex site where the majority are looking for physical attributes?
I’m only slightly above average with a few good pics and women/couples actually message me when I have them on display
So yeah, I’d say on a website where “hung only” is common, a nice looking dick pic can mean everything |

I find it a bit weird that some people are fine with their genitals all over the Internet but not their faces... My genitals are for personal and in person, with people I choose to share them with... My face is for everyone and seeing it makes sure they have at least a semblance of attraction before they decide to message or not |

Irony. It’s a beautiful thing.

I understand.. What you say is.. Is a dick pic the only photo of physical attraction?
So I am off to a paint a nude, who fancies modelling for me. Bodies are art, parts of our bodies are art. Here we see art form. I enjoy seeing everyone nude.
Naked attraction, even tv shows bodies as art form and celebrates this.
Yes, cock pics are art.
Boobs
Bums
Vaginas
Torsos
Embrace the art form. |

"I appreciate your replys guys. I wander then why on majority of single women profiles or couple it is clearly written no dicks pictures. Probably they are just lying i guess "
That’s in most cases in referenced to being inboxed them. If you have a dick pic as your profile pic it’s an our discretion to view it or not. |

I only want to see the dicks of men I am or am going to be intimate with not randoms on the Internet... Although if it's flacid ang lying on you leg/stomach or in your hand, I don't care who it is, nobody wants to see that! |

Really?
Do you walk into a public place with your flies undone and your dick hanging out.
Seems quite reasonable to say 'no dick pics'.
Just the social media form of the 1970s dirty media old man in a brown mac. |

That's possibly just your own perception. I've seen it on a handful of profiles but certainly not the majority.
For every person who dislikes dick pics is at least one other who encourages them.

All lying. Er, ok. Or they don't want to talk to a cock. Or they don't want to get cock pics sent without their consent. |

Women have tits as photos are you shaming us cause it same thing or showing vaginas. It is all personal preference..
Body parts are art.. I am off to paint my dic pic.. Embrace and love the art form.
Yes, I see dic pics, it is the way you are as a person. Body parts should not be body shamed |

"OP "if thine eye offends thee pluck it out"
You can go into your settings and turn off site images that way you won't have to "expose" yourself to all of these hideous pictures of male genitalia.
 "
Yes, that too can happen. |

Because they can. Honestly it could be any or all of the reasons you described.
I think women are more annoyed by being sent unsolicited dick pics rather than seeing avatars of them when scrolling through the site. |

Cock pics can be very nice and they're some great photos of them on Fab. But Jesus Christ some of the pics are just horrendous. So closeup, sometimes very ANGRY!
I just can't have a chat in my messages with a guy who thinks that's the best way to represent himself. I've tried. It's just off putting. In the forums, I pay no mind. They're tiny. |

Except that dick pics could be far more damaging to one’s professional or personal life. I’m talking from a single straight man’s perspective but you will probably never have an encounter on Fab (or anywhere else) without sending a face pic to your potential partners. Them having pics of both face and penis puts the sender in a much more vulnerable position IMO than if the sender had only revealed his face. |

Whys it just men..I mean women show their claptraps as well where'd the equality go?
Not that I wanna see a cock in my viewed page but I understand we're all adults here on a sex site, so long as they ain't sending unsolicited pics to people's inbox they aren't harming anyone

I don't send facepics so almost every encounter on fab in more than 7 years has been without the exchanging of facepics. |

I much prefer a photo of chest / belly as a profile picture, or something more creative - lots of men do that fortunately. Cock is secondary. Especially if it looks awful for different reasons. One might have a beautiful perfectly shaped penis and be an absolute boring twit. |

I think people think it’s a sex site so they have this attitude that getting their cock/pussy out is par for the course.
Maybe they’ve seen other profiles so the same and I bet cock pics get more fabs than normal pics (although 99.9% will be from guys, but some will prefer that than no fabs).
Who knows, there’s no right or wrong answer - if it doesn’t suit your preference there will be other profiles that do.
It’s a great filtering tool for us.

Probably the same reason as the women who have their vagina or tits as their display picture….because they want to.
There’s an option to turn off site images if it really offends you |

As long as you can maintain that “barrier” and not reveal your face via a pic, that’s fine I guess.
Funny how we can have wildly different experiences on Fab. Face pic is always brought up in the first few messages exchanged, in pretty much all the interactions I’ve had here!  |

People's motivations can be complex and multifaceted.
I tend to stick with that and if I am curious about something ask them.
Unless you don't trust them to be honest about their motivations?
But that's a whole other topic. |

Instead of spending your time writing a dissertation about reasons why men choose to display their appendages for all to see, why don’t you wrap your head around reading the room?
An online website to facilitate swinging experiences is bound to be a space where many feel liberated and free to express themselves however they may wish without too much fear of judgment. How someone chooses to present themselves is their free choice. Some choose to be prudes and not spread their legs for all to see and others on the other end of the scale, choose to show it all. Like a bell curve, there’s a percentage of those inside the normal distribution, and there’s outliers.
Life would be far easier, I’m certain, if you simply accepted this rather than trying to make buckets to fit everyone into based on YOUR OWN IDEAS OF NORMALCY. x |

"Wives and GF’s find it hard to identify their men by their dicks "
I don’t know about that. I can certainly identify the cock that slides in and out of me with any type of regularity out of a handful of cock photos. If I’m spending time with it that intimately, I certainly know every little mark, fold, the way it bends, etc. |

Ffs, I just slipped into a coma reading all that!
I show my cock because I can.
Why has the OP got his panties in a bunch about this? Surely the obvious thing to do is scroll on by if you don’t like seeing a cock picture?  |

I'd say 1.3 & 4 probably
Many like to show their cock off, in a pic or 10.
As long as they don't send it to my inbox, it's their profile & their choice.
I've seen quite a few say they have to be careful, don't want recognising & just have cock pics obviously there are other pics they could show, where people wouldn't be able to identify them too.
The desire bit, I think people don't always make their profile with thoughts of those they want to attract in mind. Maybe they appreciate explicit pics, but doesn't mean the women they message will if that makes sense. |

If I had my dick as a profile pic I’d at least try to be a little different. You’d only be able to see 50% because I’d make a little wig, sunglasses and a shiny jacket for it. Id probably try to make a little story board of his whole day in different poses and situations. As fun as that would be it’s not really my style so anyone feel free to take that idea, I’d enjoy seeing someone’s take on it.
I’m not a big lover of full exposure. It doesn’t get my sexual brain firing like a teasing look. Much prefer a hint of something, like seeing a bra pulled down so half a nipple and some bust is showing will drive me wild whereas just pulling the bra down and showing all doesn’t have the same effect. |

When I do, then the reason usually 5 or 6.
Keep changing everything until I notice changes.
I noticed some strange facts actually.
More views or even messages from women when I display more. Not leading anywhere usually. Some of them expressing it's wrong, but still contacting me to tell me that.
Otherwise the messages, fabs and views from either guys or women clearly from the forum.
Guys are pretty consistent whatever photos I display.
No good answer for this.
Every person is different and people lie quite often for different reason.
When I will know what women want, then I will know what they really think about dick pics.
I will write a book about it. |
