In a new Reddit thread titled “Sending my straight co-worker a dick pic,” a gay man ponders whether he should send his straight co-worker naked pictures of himself just to see what happens.
Reddit user manicpixieguy writes: “I have had a coworker the last couple years … We are close and cool with talking about anything, including sex. I am about to enter a relationship and want to play a mostly innocent card with him before I can’t to see how he reacts.”

Manicpixieguy says the idea for the “mostly innocent card” recently came to him in a dream.
“The other night I dreamt I sent him a dick pic by accident, apologizing for it immediately as an accident, even though it was on purpose. In my dream he took a screenshot of the photo to save it.”
Manicpixieguy woke the next morning with the uncontrollable urge to “do this in real life.”

“What does everyone think?” he now wonders. “We are definitely close enough to laugh about it if nothing else, and I know he wouldn’t be creeped out. Obviously though, I’m hoping he indicates that it intrigued him.”
Thankfully, his fellow Reddit users waste no time bringing manicpixieguy back down to reality.
“Do not send him an unsolicited dick pic by accident,” one person says. “Why not just ask him if he’s interested?”
“That is so creepy and gross,” someone else says.

“No one wants an unsolicited dick pic,” another person adds. “Plus that can get you in a lot of trouble at work. You don’t want to be known as the creep who sent out a dick pic.”
“It would be sexual harassment to do this in real life,” a fourth person warns.
And luckily, manicpixieguy heeds their advice. In response to the replies, he writes: “Appreciate the responses, guys. Maybe I’m just a big perv? Not sure why I was convinced this wasn’t a bad idea…consensus says no.”
Crisis averted.

David Red
Sounds like a great way to lose one’s job.
Bill Mountrey
I accept all photos of men – gay, straight, confused….
Derek Perron

Randy Judd
Nice bodies male or female are -nice to look at.
Milton Appleby
This man is an idiot.
JerseyMike

Sebastian Holiday
Stupid. If he did it to a female colleague all hell would break loose. Furthermore: the guy is straight, get a life!
Rob Laughlin
Clearly he doesn’t work in HR.
Terry Simmons
Don’t be a dumbass. That’s part of the reason they think gays want every man with a dick.
Marcus A. Moutra
Guess he must not care about his job.
Dennis Crowley
Sexual harassment suit
Amaurys Arias
How stupid is he?
Travis Cooper
That’s called Sexual Harrassment and if he did it, he should be fired. NOT okay.
Alex Goodman
Wes Cannon – is this you?
Loyd Hawkins
That’s a good way to lose your job since there are sexual harassment laws on the books in every state.
Raymond Weaver
So NOT a good idea.
Jo Cortez
HR issue lol
alphacentauri
This is why they hate us.
I’m bisexual but if some co-worker male or female emailed me nude pics of themselves I would wonder WTF was wrong with them and it’s more than a bit creepy.
Barry Shatswell
Most likely would get fired. Terrible idea.

If you were a sensible gay man, you would know your limits and boundaries. Although i’m gay, i would never send nude pics of myself to anyone, regardless.
Hussain-TheCanadian
This is a weird story; if he’s entering into a relationship, why would he want to send a nude pic to anyone?
moldisdelicious
Sorry but as a gay man, I find this article to be incredibly offensive. Bad enough, we got homophobic people running around thinking gay men are sexually compulsive where they like to force themselves onto other dudes without their consent. Why even promote that shit knowing that it’s only going to confirm the ignorance that we constantly have to fight against.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Jimmy McKinney
Don’t ever send a nude pic ever to anyone. Very trashy
John Malin
Truly stupid move it would be, yes says Yoda. Firings and law suits and exposure as true idiot would be!
Ken Dobson
Well, that is bloody sexual harassment. If he wants to lose his job and front up to a human rights tribunal, that’s the way to do it!

Oh my god, talk about confirming negative stereotypes. For years, gays have told straight men to stop flattering themselves by presuming that gays are indiscriminately attracted to them. Then you have this guy who confirms the paranoia of straight office workers. If he’s attracted to the straight guy, and he thinks the guy might be receptive, the proper thing to do is ask him out. Then any further interaction is consensual. Surprising someone with an unsolicited obscene photo gives the recipient no choice. It’s a mild form of rape. That’s not good for him, the victim or the gay community. Indeed, the fact that he published these thoughts on a non-gay-specific site has already done damage. Idiot.

Really??????

What an idiot (assuming this story is even true)
William Mc Gregor
Great way to get his ass fired and depending on the sexting laws of his state he could be arrested!

I did actually send a dick pic out to a coworker on accident (coworker is female). I just apologized and we moved on. Nothing ever came of it. She knew it was by accident.

Imagine if some straight female coworker sent you a “Vage Pic” knowing you were gay.
Tim Bernth
Bad idea Gurl…

Why are reddit posts newsworthy?

Afrikaans men from South Africa have the biggest and longest PENISES! The Afrikaners descend from mainly Dutch, French and German immigrants who integrated with other European, African and Asian settlers in the 17th century. The men are usually 6 feet tall, athletic and rugged, with long thick uncut PENISES! Why is this so!?
Erik Wadelin
Its sexual harassment in the workplace,and there’s no excuse for it .
AtticusBennett
or he could do what well-adjusted gay men do and instead focus his attentions on guys who are, you know, ACTUALLY OPENLY GAY.
Carl Szulczynski
Give me that mans e mail address. I’ll send him tons of vagina pics and see what happens to him. How utterly desperate and pathetic does a gay man have to be to chase a man he knows is straight?
youarekiddingme
@Charles Smith: Wtf kind of [email protected] comment is that? Talk about generalizations…Where did you come from?

Yep, I always take these Reddit stories with a grain of salt. As an aside, its puppy-faced co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, is very gay-friendly. I remember him tweeting congratulatory messages on Pride Week, National Coming Out Day, etc and was/is a fierce advocate of gay marriage. And when gays tweeted him saying how cute he is, he actually replied with an aw-shucks-thanks. Very affable and approachable and one of the few Internet entrepreneurs who actually interacts with normal folks. I’ve even exchanged tweets with him, including a few gay ones. And I have to say that he is possibly the most eloquent, intelligent and witty Internet entrepreneur out there. Well-versed on many topics. The fact that he’s dating interracially — to Serena Williams, no less — is an added turn on. He was the guy with her when her phone was stolen.

@Charles Smith: Well, apparently, not all African penises are that large. Some are bite size morsels. Remember this famous news item of a 60 y/o woman accidentally eating a penis in her lunch? As an aside, I sent this item to ABC anchor David Muir many years ago and he replied, “Yikes!” So adorable. He’s gotten too serious.

@Bryguyf69: The day after SCOTUS legalized same-sex marriage, Reddit’s co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, wrote this on Facebook. And ofcourse, his photo had the rainbow filter. Love the guy.
“Alexis Ohanian: I woke up this morning and sure enough, the only difference was a bunch more people who love each other can get married now. That makes me pretty damn happy.”
