I have a question for the married men of DU

[boston bean]

Do you send pics of you erect penis to strangers in the Internet.

I've been schooled that this is absolutely normal and common behavior for grown married men.

[cherokeeprogressive]

1. I only use pictures of someone else's pecker. Mine's too small. And there's that mark too... n/t

[boston bean]

3. LOL.

[dballance]

6. You made me laugh.

Thanks.

[Whisp]

11. Did you get that mark from a scanner?

Digital cameras are really cheap nowadays.

[boston bean]

23. He could always photoshop it away!

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. Dropped the Polaroid on it actually. n/t

[russspeakeasy]

37. Check your inbox !!!!!

[BainsBane]

84. The mark of the beast

Somehow I knew.

[WCGreen]

96. I just got up close and snapped...

John Holmes, he ain't but Pee Wee Herrman, not really either...

[Cali_Democrat]

2. You were schooled that this is absolutely normal and common behavior for grown married men?

Well your teacher sucked.

[boston bean]

9. Yeah, I got quite a lesson on it. At times forceful and I was called a bitter divorcee

For disagreeing.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. That person is an idiot

You're wasting your time.

[boston bean]

24. I figured. Thanks.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. No

I know that comes as a deep and profound disappoint to some, but they need to ask someone else.

[boston bean]

5. LOL.

That made me laugh!

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Wait, hang on

do bill collectors count as "strangers"?

[boston bean]

18. I'm not hanging on!

[freshwest]

27. Don't ask 'How's it hangin'?' either. You'll get TMI.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Serious answer to your question?

I think Mr. Weiner has a problem.

[boston bean]

41. Do you think it's that big of a problem?

[Warren DeMontague]

72. I'm not on his twitter feed, as it were

so I have no idea.

[opiate69]

22. And thank you for the brilliant idea!

I can call if I need to post bail, right?

[BainsBane]

85. There goes your street cred.

[Warren DeMontague]

89. I know, right?

That's okay. I still have other vices.

[BainsBane]

90. I'm thinking you might be

overdoing the ganja just a wee bit.

[Warren DeMontague]

91. That's funny.

Believe it or not, the last time I smoked it was during the Clinton years. 'Course I'm probably overdue for some of those other flashbacks we were promised.

[BainsBane]

92. I figured you were really into it

because you post so often about drug enforcement. I'm wrong then. Certainly isn't the first time.

Back to the subject of the OP: What kind of self-respecting head MRAsma honcho doesn't email pics of his little Anthony Weiner?




Just so outside readers understand and don't get upset: This is all totally in fun.

[Warren DeMontague]

93. Like I said, I'm old school- I send them pony express.

Wait, did I say "pony"? I meant, uh, Clydesdale. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm a Deadhead and I certainly am around stoners from time to time. The drug war has pissed me off for a good long while and I do finally think we're reaching a point of sea change at least around pot. And I've seen enough of the bad and good of a bunch of substances to know that it's ludicrous to be wasting money, energy and lives criminalizing what is undoubtedly the least harmful, in general, of all of them that I've seen.

That said, I'm not categorically opposed to it, personally, but I just found a while back that I personally function better with a (relatively) clear head. Which of course means my once admirable tolerance is probably down to zero. Last time I had to take painkillers for some dental stuff, I was massively looped for a good long while. Still not worth the pain, though.

[BainsBane]

94. I agree on the drug war

I'm pretty sure we've discussed that. I myself find life challenging enough straight. I used to smoke in college and a while after but seldom since.

[Scuba]

7. No, but thanks for asking.

[Arctic Dave]

10. What's your number.

We can settle this right now.

[boston bean]

25. 867-5309. You'll have to guess the area code!

[morningfog]

49. Hope it isn't 617, boston bean, lol.

[PasadenaTrudy]

52. Jennie, is that you? n/t

[Arctic Dave]

56. Close, I guessed 1-800-555-1212

I wonder who got that text.

[opiate69]

60. God dammit... now I have to because you got it stuck in my head now...

http://m.

[ileus]

12. Not strangers....

[tridim]

13. I'm single and I don't do that.

Real life penis sharing is better.

[boston bean]

28. True dat.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

14. Can't say I've ever thought about doing something like that, myself.

But between Wiener and Geraldo and that Congressman from upstate NY who got bounced after sending half nekkid pix of hisself to some woman not his wife a couple years back, I'm not prepared to say what the heck is normal anymore. I sit around with my friends & family wondering where these guys come from. Shoot, where the girls these guys are sending these pix to come from.
I mean, in the old daze you found a secluded staircase or sumpthin to do the dirty with some other woman, and I'm told in the old daze they didn't tell. Times, evidently, have changed. I guess it's safer sex than a staircase where, among other hazards, you might wind up rolling down the steps at the moment of maximum, um, distraction.

[bemildred]

15. No, that would be foolish.

And it's not like there is some shortage of penises to be seen on the internets.

[pscot]

16. Most of us don't have the fan base

[Captain Stern]

19. Erect?...well, no...that would be weird (nt)

[boston bean]

20. A stern one? Maybe...

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. Meating strangers builds new friendships.

I can't believe I said that.

[boston bean]

32. Me neither!

[Nay]

44. Cows. Really.

[Fla_Democrat]

29. You mean like random.. out of the blue?

Type in a bunch of letters/numbers and add the @someplace.com and email them?

Do you mean to people who work at a talent agency who I have never met, but thought it would enhance my resume? "Hi, I really likes your marketing campaign for Greygrab International, and I would like to be considered as a copy writer. Enclosed is a face and a junk shot, along with my work experience."

Do you mean people I have met, and played MMORPG's with, and just thought it would be a way to continue the camaraderie? "Wow dude.. you rock. The way you held the Lumber Mill till help could arrive from the Blacksmith... pure awesomeness. Btw, check your email!"

I haven't yet, but......

[opiate69]

38. Remind me to stick to the stables or the farm...

[Fla_Democrat]

40. I know there's a Gold Mine joke here

but even I won't go that far.

[opiate69]

42. "I don't always tweet my penis.... but when I do...

It's Ironforged!"

[Dreamer Tatum]

30. I do, but it's a private matter between me, her, and all that choice poontang I send dong pics to. n

[onehandle]

33. Yes. Here's mine...

[boston bean]

51. I like the color.

[atreides1]

34. No

Should I....

[boston bean]

35. I wouldn't suggest doing it would be a good idea.

[BainsBane]

86. Send me a pic for an initial screening

and I'll let you know.

(That was meant in jest, lest anyone get confused.)

[kwassa]

39. Oh. I thought you said erect peanut.

[boston bean]

45. Lol. My auto correct could have done that to me!

[Cleita]

43. Back in my day, going to bars and talking dirty to so-called barflys while

the wife stayed home with the infant was the usual way married dirt bags got their rocks off. Of course the crowd in the bar knew what was going on but since the wife never met his saloon buddies and they socialized as a couple in different circles she usually didn't have to suffer embarrassment, just suspicion and loneliness.

I know this because I was once a bartender. However, the sleaziness of it hasn't changed.

[geek tragedy]

46. I'm afraid to put my phone in my front pocket. Nt

[BootinUp]

47. when that happens you don't really have a marriage by my definition. nt

[liberal N proud]

48. Normal in what society?

I don't find it acceptable regardless of who, when or why.

As a husband, I wouldn't jeopardize my marriage. My wife should never have to suffer because of a stupid decision.

And if anyone thinks you will not get caught... YOU WILL GET CAUGHT!

[Boom Sound 416]

50. I can't

My wife's name is on it

[opiate69]

53. Oh yeah? Well mine says "Eat at Joes...

Purveyor of the finest Italian sausage since 1969. Delivery service available. Now online at WWW.joesdelicatessinandmeats.com"

[Boom Sound 416]

55. Damn!

That was fun-E

[opiate69]

58. I'll be here all week.. try the veal and don't forget to tip the waitresses .. they're workin' hard

[Trajan]

54. LOL .... I am divorced ....

And I have sent my dick-pic to ONE single girl who reciprocated in kind ... (opposite hardware, or course) ... We still get a kick out of it, because we were already acquainted in that manner ...

NEVER to a stranger ever .... and I am a free man ....

I do not believe it is typical ... though it happens often enough ...

If I were still married, I would consider such an act to place our marriage in extreme jeopardy, unless some prior arrangement was made and desired by both parties .... It reveals an extreme disloyalty if a spouse sends pictures of their genitalia to someone they are not married to .... it would be grounds for divorce in most relationships ....

[hlthe2b]

57. Eww... I surely hope not... (ditto for the unmarried men of DU)

I guess I'll get labeled a prude, but ICKKK.

[Trajan]

65. Well .. some people still enjoy using their equipment ...

Some never understood that ...

[hlthe2b]

66. You equate "enjoying using their equipment" with posting self-photos on a tweet, the internet

or other? Who said anything to suggest a problem with "enjoying" sex? How is this at all the same?

I guess you meant to insult me somehow, but I said nothing even remotely like what you are suggesting.

And, yes, I don't think it is necessary to send unsolicited photos of one's erect penis out publicly via twitter in order to "enjoy using their equipment".... Is it to you?

Not a whole lot different from the guy that flashes his junk in the local park, IMO.... Do we now celebrate him because he is "merely enjoying using his equipment?" Geebus.

[Trajan]

69. no ... that is not what I meant

I'm pretty sure you knew that ...

IF a marriage is formed by spouses who trust each other and who delight in the sexual intimacies of thier beloved spouse, then sending such pics to each other might be quite exciting for that happy couple ...

I'm a child of the sixties .... sex is not a bad thing ... it's actually fun ... believe it or not ...

[hlthe2b]

70. No, I was not referrig to photos or acts between couples, but rather unsolicited posting on twitter

But then, I think YOU knew that, but just wanted to insult me. FAIL

[Trajan]

71. um ... what?

insult you? ... where did I do that?

Look ... Weiner is an ass and should be dumped off the ticket ... but lovers who are sincere and trustworthy can share such pics for their own pleasure and that is perfectly ok .... that is my point

You comments indicated otherwise ... as an admitted prude ...

if you felt insulted by my using the "prude" reference, then I apologize, but you are the one who introduced it as a fact .. not I ...

[hlthe2b]

77. I was referring to the OP, which referred to the acts of Weiner vis-a-vis his twitter posts

He did not post those photos for his partner--his wife, but rather did so in a very narcissistic exhibitionist act, which to me is virtually no different than the "flasher" who does so unsolicited in a city park.

I accept your apology, however.

[hlthe2b]

78. The OP specifically refers to "sending pics of you erect penis to strangers in the Internet".

It is you who construed my disdain for unsolicited submission of those kind of photos to strangers on the internet, which is not one hell of a lot different than the "flasher" who exposes his junk in a city park.

How that scenario equates to me somehow being against sexual pleasure among consenting couples absolutely baffles me and would seemingly be equated for no other reason than to insult me... IF you didn't mean that, I accept your apology, but suggest you failed to catch the entire point of the OP.

[rug]

59. Yes, but I needed to get a 4G phone.

[Chan790]

61. Not married, but felt this was a worthwhile contribution.

I think Jezebel nailed it yesterday with their article "Should You Send a Lady a Dick Pic? A Guide for Men" by Erin Gloria Ryan which goes through every possible scenario and concludes the answer is pretty-much universally "No. Do not sent that woman a picture of your dick."

http://jezebel.com/should-you-send-a-lady-a-dick-pic-a-guide-for-men-885697791

In no sense would I call it normal and common behavior for married (or unmarried) men. I mean I know married men who are sending out pictures or posting pictures...but they're doing it with the approval and knowledge of their wives sending them to recipients that enthusiastically-want to receive such pictures. I still don't think it's a good thing (and most certainly something I'd never do.), but at that point it's a "none of mine or the public's business" thing.

[adnoid]

62. Never have.

Married 26 years, never even crossed my mind.

[Blue Owl]

63. A picture of a penis is the be-all end-all

Put it away! Put it away!

[Trajan]

67. Reply to that?

"I think I need some time alone ... to think things through ...."

" I'll call you later .... um ...."

Something to note: it is highly recommended to find a mate who has, more or less, the same or similar sexual characteristics as you ... Spouses with widely divergent sexual mores rarely last very long ....

[DonRedwood]

64. No sir. To humiliate his wife like that, shows his moral character.

He could never represent my values if he treats those he cares like that. He loves her and does that....how will he treat the people?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

68. No. I at least get their name first.

[loli phabay]

73. wrong website to ask on, may i suggest you ask that question on a sex based website

You will probuably get the opposite answer you get here.

[question everything]

74. That's hilarious thread

Thanks to all the contributors. Now I can shut off the computer while smiling.

[Egnever]

75. Not anymore since I heard about the NSA

My guess is the damage is already done though.

[matthews]

80. Probably a wise decision. You could draw a mask on it like the Lone Ranger and maybe they'd never

know it was you. It always worked for Kemo Sabe and Zorro. Or in a disguise like a pair of sunglasses

But be sure to use someone else's cell phone.

[Egnever]

82. Sage advise

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

76. Has anyone thought of the potential of those new 3-D copiers?

If Anthony Weiner buys one, watch out...

[JoeyT]

79. On the internet? No.

I believe in supporting the post office. I only send pictures of my erect penis to random addresses from the phone book in envelopes with proper postage.

[ZombieHorde]

81. LOL. No, I have never done that. nt

[Luminous Animal]

83. Only if you are a Democratic politico that powerful Democratic

politicos says it is okay.

[BainsBane]

87. This is begging for a counter point OP

I don't think I can resist

[olddots]

88. I could understand sending a picture of a cashew to a Cheerio

that would be artistic food erotica .

[DeSwiss]

95. What are we talkin' here?

The wallet-sized special (best economy)? Or, are we talkin' eight by tens (most popular)? It doesn't matter because we've got all that and more at rock-bottom low prices too!!! Nobody can beat our dix!!! Nobody!!!

How do we do it? [font size=3]VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME!!!![/font]

- Now if you want em' so's that they're true-to-life-size, then you'll have to go with the landscape layout.....

97. Kicking

so my OP does't seem so much like random weirdness.

[justiceischeap]

98. I'm not a man, nor am I married but I do have an opinion on this matter

What makes sending unsolicited penis photos (erect or otherwise) to strangers on the Internet any different from walking up to strangers in public and flashing them? That's a crime, and sending unsolicited sexual photos to others should be considered a crime just like flashing.

Even after Weiner's career was derailed for his acts, he continued to do the same thing which tells me he has a problem. He literally can't keep it in his pants and I suspect if the Internet wasn't available he'd eventually be caught doing this act in public.
