New research shows what women already knew: Men who exhibited higher levels of narcissm and sexism were more likely to send nudes without asking. (From 2019)
Research on the phenomenon, according to the researchers themselves, is thin, preliminary, and mostly focuses on the dick pic only in association with other forms of online harassment. A spate of recent papers seeks to engorge the discourse—and explore just why men are sending these nudes in the first place.
Pedersen hypothesizes that for some of these men, the dick pics are an expression of subconscious misogyny, but the explicit motivations fall into two major categories. The most obvious reason, the one you’ve probably intuited, is hope of reciprocity—the old “I’ll show you mine so you’ll show me yours” routine. The other, more strangely, is partner hunting.
"Men’s bodies are afforded a kind of playfulness that women’s bodies never are. The public discourse around women’s nudes is one of shame.” —Andrea Waling, sociologist
