Still here.

I doubt many people seriously want to see it, in all honesty.

Guy junk doesn't have the same allure/appeal that femme nudes have.
Well, true. But I can make jokes about pictures of your junk without coming off as creepy, I couldn't do the same for *throws darts at wall with pictures of random female forumites* AmE or Emrys.

...having a wall with pictures of the women around here isn't creepy, is it? I even asked @bhamv3 and he said it wasn't!

By way of explanation for Emrys: You never hear the "don't send pictures of your junk" dating advice given to women. They would almost always be welcome, whereas the opposite is almost never true.

(speaking in a general sense. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule)

You do hear it often, just worded differently and for a different reason, and most often aimed at teenage girls whose boyfriends/manipulative walking bags of hormones try to pressure them into sending such pics.

As I believe I've said before, true gender equality will only be possible once women are openly and brazenly as sex-crazed as men.

I know plenty of women that are, especially once you get out of the social trap that is high school.

I've known plenty of women that weren't shy about their carnal desires. Most of them still thought dick pics looked more silly than arousing ;)

THEN AGAIN...I went to the sprint store to get my wife a new phone yesterday. The phone guy asked if she wanted them to transfer her pics, because it could take a while if she had a lot. So she opens up her phone and starts scrolling through pics to find out how many she had.

Right there, dated January, was a pick of my cock. It was a pic from a year ago, but because of the file date, I know she put it on her phone really recently. I wonder who she's been showing my dick off to? :aaah:

You might know "plenty" in the same way I know "plenty" of gay people. They're still only 5% of the population.

Compare the number of female prostitutes to (straight) male prostitutes.
Consider how often the onus is still generally on the male to pursue the female - to ask her out, to be the one who pops the question, to be the propositioner for sex. How the women are still overwhelmingly the "gatekeepers" and men the barbarians at the gate.
Consider how it's still commonplace for females to shun a male they consider "only interested in sex" whereas I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever heard of the reverse.
Consider how it still rings true, the old joke where the difference between a woman getting ready for a date and a man getting ready for a date is that the woman already knows if she's going to get lucky that night.
Consider the innumerable videos on youtube showing the difference between what happens when a man stands in a public plaza propositioning every woman he sees and a woman doing the same thing toward every man.
Consider the monumental difference in sex politics between hetero and homosexual social interactions. Tinder vs Grindr.

Maybe I'm wrong! But how many times does your average woman say out loud to her friends in a public place "god damn I need some dick right fucking now! I don't care who, I don't care where, I need to get fucking LAID!"

Would you KILL for it?
Would you PAY for it?
Would you BEG for it?
Would you LIE for it?
And at the end of the day, would you lay down your life for it?
Or are you content that if you really wanted to, all you would really have to do is express a mild interest and instantly have it, albeit with consequences in social standing?

Maybe it should be "as openly and brazenly sex-crazed without being slut shamed for it."
Maybe so. Just consider though, most slut shaming comes from other women.

If everybody is a slut, then nobody is.

My experience has been the opposite. My male co-workers liked to tell tales because they had heard me talk about my adventures outside of work. I had no qualms with talking about my sex life or what I liked. It wasn't professional, but I needed something to keep me awake working midnights. I wore clothes that showed off my body, but also were within the dress code. To them it meant that any man I talked to must be someone I was sleeping with because I was a horny little minx with no morals. It got to the point where I publicly announced that my next tattoo was going to be a Las Vegas style neon sign with an arrow that said "Open 24/7" on the inside of one of my thighs.

I think my favorite tale from that time was when a pit boss (who was an openly gay man) and I were talking about BDSM. He was surprised to hear that I liked kink. He asked if it meant I'd bark like a dog for my Dom. He snapped his fingers and I went on my knees and barked - on the casino floor, in the middle of a gaming pit, under the "eye in the sky" with customers and co-workers all around us. It was glorious.

Well, I'm sorry your male co-workers treated you like that, and as with all my confident assertions, YMMV. But doesn't this also help illustrate my other point, that a sexually open and agressive woman is more of a novelty, a curiosity? Granted, this sounds like a "before I was married" kind of story, too, and a whole lot has changed in the last 10-15 years. For both men and women. Consider the rise of the fleshlight into a status one could describe almost as "not just for pathetic losers anymore." The times they are a changin', but I can tell you this much - neither I nor any of my male friends ever got a date they didn't initiate, nor a wife who proposed to them first. I know that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it's still a rarity.

And yet you're the one with the friend who got entrapped by sex, right? ;)

On that point you are correct. It was prior to marriage and I was a bit of an anomoly (I'm leaving this for you since I cannot spell it right. Weird.) even for the 1990s. However, your example of when you and your male friends were asking women on dates would also have been in that 10-15 years ago category, yes? 2006-ish? Or are you really that young?

Aussie and I only got married in 2004, FYI.

The very nature of a trap is that it snares a victim that thought it was pursuing. That she let herself "be caught" doesn't change that he had to chase her. She didn't proposition him, she just responded positively to his advances.

Which ironically doesn't actually sound all that different from what my own position was, now that I think about it. Pauline was VERY... uh.. enthusiastic, to put it mildly, but if I wasn't the one asking (and asking often) she would get upset that I apparently wasn't interested in her enough.

Well, maybe you can't spell anomaly, but at least you can spell wierd!

Yeah, late 90s, most everybody got married (sometimes more than once) in the early 2000s.

Well, I'd propose another thought experiment.

Supposing every poster (male and female) on halforums was unmarried and unattached. Call it, aliens whisked us all to a parallel Earth where our spouses and children never existed, never to return, whatever.

If we proposed a random weekly match, where each female was given a random male poster for a one night stand of guaranteed obligation-free sex, how many female Halforumites do you think would decide to sign up vs not sign up and continue with traditional "gatekeeper" gender roles? And how many males do you think would sign up, even knowing that as they would greatly outnumber female participants even in a 100% participation situation they stand an excellent chance of ending up with nothing? How many on both sides would participate? How many would continue to participate if it cost $10 a try? $100?
