On an unrelated note, check out this carrot I got at the supermarket
Man, nsfw it. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW
I think it has a lot to do with what the sender wants to get in exchange. Men often want that primal, purely sexual “Look at my naked body,” and assume that must be what women want too, to just see naked sexy bits.
Likewise, the best nudes that women send me (a man) are just “boom, here’s my tits”. The ones with sexy poses or outfits and fancy lighting and stuff…come on. That’s the kind of picture YOU would like. You didn’t take that for me.
The unflattering angle and double chin really hit home.
Usually don’t have that nice of a background myself
Is there really any flattering angles for the male body though? Also, who wants to take pics of dudes trying to look sexy? Their male friends won’t. I know we have literal works of art showing nude male bodies, but the majority of men’s bodies are shit to look at and nobody wants to look at them. Women don’t even have to have ideal bodies and men will still be elated that they sent them nudes. Meanwhile, people would be more likely to pay me to not send them nudes, at best, but more likely they’d press charges.

You have been taught to believe this by the patriarchy. You should try to let go of this feeling.
Patriarchy didn’t teach men that they’re disgusting, wtf
That’s like the opposite of the patriarchy
This is the shit feminists do that piss me off. Literally anything bad? Patriarchy. Literally anything good? Feminism. Even if it makes no goddamn sense.
Patriarchy absolutely teaches us that. It’s part of enforcing heteronormativity in men - if you find another man attractive or beautiful, you cannot express that without being accused of being gay, and this seeps into our self conception where not only do we have trouble viewing ourselves as capable of being beautiful, but we aggressively police men and boys around us who we perceive to be seeking beauty themselves.
There’s been movement on this in the younger generation, but it’s still the hegemonic attitude.
I have also been taught that by the mirror, and I’m pretty sure I’ve already let way too much go as it is.
I’m trying, but without external validation, all that remains is the status quo.
Go to a gay bar. Not even joking. Gay men are the single best thing for any man’s confidence. And sense of male self-worth.

Hard disagree. I think you’re probably just not attracted to dudes.
You don’t need to be attracted to men to recognize them as not ugly. Plenty of straight women appreciate their form without attraction.
That being said, men often don’t take care of themselves so yeah a lot of them don’t try very much.
As a licensed, dues paying gay, I quite like the male form. Even body types I’m not particularly attracted to can be very appealing, and I’ve rarely regretted getting a dick pic or body shot. The only nudes I’m not really fond of getting on Grindr are close up booty hole pics. Sometimes they can be hot, but mostly they’re not done well
For the simple fact that humans have successfully reproduced I must assume women find men attractive, however since I am not a woman this is but an assumption, perhaps they are all psychopaths, cynically mating for the simple necessity of reproduction, I certainly know plenty of men who would agree with that statement however I find it far more plausible that in some form or another men must be viewed as attractive to the opposite sex.
You don’t need to have a perfect body; lighting, indicating soft power through angles, and imagination are your friends. A lot of the best male nudes are the ones where the dick isn’t the focus(or even shown at all).

Same with female nudes.
I’m always a bit put off when she shows off her dick.
Shoutout to CritiqueMyDickPic for trying to encourage some artistry in the “male nudes” genre (only the A rated photos are filtered for in that link).
As someone who isn’t afraid of posting my junk online for all to see… We need a Lemmy equivalent.
The standards of dick pics are too damn low!
But, look at that perspective shot; that thing is HUGE! You definitely want to sleep with me now right? Right??
It has like 3 curves in it. What are you? Some kind of weird duck-human hybrid?
What part of ribbed for her pleasure don’t you understand?!
It’s called peyronie’s disease.
Is that the one you get if you don’t pay Ronnie?
I will soon be 40, but I recently found some pictures that I sent to my then girlfriend now wife where I look fuckin great
