I'm surprised so many women like receiving dick pics.
"While it's likely that most senders of genital sexts are hoping for a positive response to their image, the primary finding of the study was that reactions to receiving unsolicited photos were highly gendered. In fact, 70 percent of women of all sexual identities reported predominantly negative responses to these unsolicited nude images, commonly feeling "grossed out" and "disrespected." Only 16 percent of women in the study reported a positive response (i.e., "entertained"), and only 8 percent of women reported feeling "aroused" by the unsolicited images.

In contrast, for gay and bisexual men, reactions to unsolicited genital photos were more often positive, with "entertained" (44 percent) and "curious" (41 percent) being the most commonly endorsed reactions. Most men did not report any negative or neutral reactions to receiving these unsolicited images."
