Getting back to your question, TCF: The cock-shot overture doesn't work on most women, I'll grant you, but the sort of guys who send cock shots aren't interested in most women. They're interested in the sort of women who this sort of overture works on. And the sort of men who think only with their photogenic dicks — and not all men are that sort — figure the quickest way to determine if a woman is that sort of woman is to send the cock shot.
Despite a unanimous "Ew, yuck!" from your friends, TCF, there are women out there who do respond positively. One of the women you talked to about cock shots may have thought, "Well, it depends on the guy," but told you, "Ew, yuck!" because it was clear from the "Ew, yuck!" look on your face that "Ew, yuck!" was what you wanted to hear.
Gentlemen: The existence of a handful of women who welcome cock shots doesn't give you license to send cock shots to all women. Cock shots are for women who have expressed a clear interest in receiving cock shots.
Speaking of Buck Angel: Documentary filmmaker Dan Hunt (Cruel & Unusual, Dangerous Living, Bear Run) is working on a film about Buck Angel's life, work and activism. Hunt has been following Buck for six years and now needs to raise $6,000 to hire an editor to help him shape the film. Please join me in helping Hunt to finish Mr. Angel by making a donation to the cause via Kickstarter: tinyurl.com/3d8wmtf.
