In reply to the discussion: Question for the Women of DU [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)48. I'm ever so puzzled that any guy thinks this is a good idea. From several standpoints.
The most obvious is that anyone for whom a relationship with a woman is more than a theoretical abstraction knows that the best way to turn a woman off is to try to pressure her into any kind of intimacy before she feels ready. And this isn't the 1920's, women who are ready/interested in that aren't shy about expressing it. And of course, if a woman IS ready/interested you don't need something stupid like a weiner pic.
Even as a guy who has had nude pictures sent to me unsolicited twice by women, I can say that those pictures do not help if you are not interested in/don't find that person attractive anyway.
Then of course there is the whole "potential of naked pictures of ones-self being out there on the internet forever" thing.
