Episode 415: The Science Of Dick Pics


Listen Later

Let’s talk about dick pics. A lot of guys send these without even asking. In today’s show, we’re going to dive into the data and explore how many men have ever sent an unsolicited dick pic and why, how these photos are perceived by recipients, as well as what you need to know about sexting if you really want to connect with someone.

My guests today are Dr. Cory Pederson and Amanda Champion. Cory is the Lab Director and Principal Investigator of the ORGASM Lab. She also teaches human sexuality courses at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). Amanda is a doctoral student in the school of criminology at Simon Fraser University and a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at KPU. Cory and Amanda have studied the science of dick pics and are going to be discussing the details of a new study they completed in collaboration with MANSCAPED®.

Some of the specific topics we explore include:

  • How many people have ever received an unsolicited dick pic?
  • What kind of reaction are people who send unsolicited dick pics hoping for?
  • What platforms are men typically sending these photos on?
  • How often are these photos perceived positively versus negatively?
  • If you’re thinking about sending a dick pic to someone, what do you need to know?
  • You can check out the work of the ORGASM Lab on their website.
