I actually think this is the most plausible explanation, especially since I believe plenty of "normal" guys do it. I don't think (for the most part) that they're sexual deviants, perverts, control freaks, people who get off on the shock value, etc. When it comes to men sending pictures of their dicks, abs, etc to women they're talking to and hoping to get with, I think they tend to really believe that this is an acceptable form of flirting or something.

I think it was in the other thread about this that I mentioned that I just read an online article about how common sexting has become, especially among teens. I had thought of sexting as sort of a consensual thing between 2 people but after reading it I learned that the definition has expanded to include flirtation. Some of the problems that happen for teens are pictures being shared by the persons who received them or other people using their phones. Teenagers don't think about the implications or long term harm that could come with any of these things.

The article gave the example of a 14 year old girl in Florida who committed suicide in August. Last May she sent a picture of her breasts to a boy she liked. Another girl at her school used the boy's phone to forward it to numerous people and the first girl was ridiculed unmercifully. She was suspended by her school for a week and her parents grounded her and took away her phone. No one else at the school was punished.

The article wasn't so much about sexting as about "cyberbullying" but the point was that technology has taken interpersonal relationships and all their implications to new levels. :shock:

Excellent point. So, so sad though. :(

Agreed, I thought it was one of the saddest stories I'd seen in a long time.

that is a sad story. I remember reading about it. I still can't believe the girl is the only one who was suspended !!! the girl that sent the pic to all her friends should have some sort of punishment. IMO

if thats flirting
im screwed

I sure as hell hope this isn't flirting! LOL I am with you on this one!

I could see if there's some flirtation going on...sexual talk of some sort, etc. - the guy may just be that dumb or socially inadequate to think a woman might like it. If it comes straight out of the blue though - I think he's much more of a deviant or getting off on the reaction. You would think there would be some sort of lead up to it.

Good point. What about unsolicited ab shots? Flirting? Sexual deviance? Just showing off?

Maybe just showing off (if they're nice abs) Still don't think this would win me over...but if it came down to him and the guy sending the unsolicited cock shot I guess the abs guy would win.

I can Send a Picture of MY 'ABS'...I mean it Maybe HIDDEN behind 6 INCHES of "FAT ROLLS" but hey! I'm OPEN!...PMSL :P

I would appreciate that more than the guy with the six pack - at least it would show a sense of humor!
