    I think it has a lot to do with what the sender wants to get in exchange. Men often want that primal, purely sexual “Look at my naked body,” and assume that must be what women want too, to just see naked sexy bits.

    Is there really any flattering angles for the male body though? Also, who wants to take pics of dudes trying to look sexy? Their male friends won’t. I know we have literal works of art showing nude male bodies, but the majority of men’s bodies are shit to look at and nobody wants to look at them. Women don’t even have to have ideal bodies and men will still be elated that they sent them nudes. Meanwhile, people would be more likely to pay me to not send them nudes, at best, but more likely they’d press charges.

      You have been taught to believe this by the patriarchy. You should try to let go of this feeling.

        I have also been taught that by the mirror, and I’m pretty sure I’ve already let way too much go as it is.

      Hard disagree. I think you’re probably just not attracted to dudes.

        You don’t need to be attracted to men to recognize them as not ugly. Plenty of straight women appreciate their form without attraction.

        That being said, men often don’t take care of themselves so yeah a lot of them don’t try very much.

      As a licensed, dues paying gay, I quite like the male form. Even body types I’m not particularly attracted to can be very appealing, and I’ve rarely regretted getting a dick pic or body shot. The only nudes I’m not really fond of getting on Grindr are close up booty hole pics. Sometimes they can be hot, but mostly they’re not done well

      For the simple fact that humans have successfully reproduced I must assume women find men attractive, however since I am not a woman this is but an assumption, perhaps they are all psychopaths, cynically mating for the simple necessity of reproduction, I certainly know plenty of men who would agree with that statement however I find it far more plausible that in some form or another men must be viewed as attractive to the opposite sex.

      You don’t need to have a perfect body; lighting, indicating soft power through angles, and imagination are your friends. A lot of the best male nudes are the ones where the dick isn’t the focus(or even shown at all).

      As someone who isn’t afraid of posting my junk online for all to see… We need a Lemmy equivalent.

      The standards of dick pics are too damn low!
