Dick Pic

A "dick pic" is a colloquial term for a photograph of a penis, usually sent digitally. While sometimes shared consensually as part of sexting, unsolicited dick pics are a form of sexual harassment and are illegal in some jurisdictions.

Key Facts

• Can be consensual (within sexting) or non-consensual (cyberflashing).
• Often associated with power dynamics, gender, and digital consent.
• Recipients are overwhelmingly women; senders are overwhelmingly men.

Writing Tips

• Explore the context: consent, relationship, and emotional response.
• Show the difference between playful, consensual exchange and harassment.
• Use sensory and emotional detail to convey impact.

Example

Example "She laughed at his boldness, replying with a teasing emoji. But when a stranger’s photo appeared in her inbox, her stomach turned." Why it works: Contrasts consensual play with the discomfort of harassment.
