Men who send other people unsolicited images of their genitals are likely to be more narcissistic and sexist that those who do not, psychologists have found
Psychologist Flora Oswald of the Pennsylvania State University and colleagues surveyed 1,087 men about whether they had ever sent photographs of their genitals — and, if so, why they did so and what reaction they expected to receive.
Researchers also asked questions to explore the participants' personality traits — including their levels of exhibitionism, narcissism, sexism and openness to sex and sexuality.
The team found an association between certain character traits and the sending of genital images.
'We determined that men who reported having sent unsolicited d*** pics demonstrated higher levels of narcissism and endorsed greater ambivalent and hostile sexism than their non-sending counterparts,' the researchers wrote.
Men who send other people unsolicited images of their genitals are likely to be more narcissistic and sexist that those who do not, psychologists have found.
Researchers surveyed over a thousand men to compare the personalities and motivations of those who sent intimate images and those who did not.
Rather than for personal gratification, men who share images of their genitals typically do so hoping to arouse the recipient and get images back in return.
A small minority of participants reported sending the private photos in order to intentionally elicit a negative response from women.
The researchers conclude that the practice can neither be construed as solely sexist or as a positive sexual outlet.
