Why the dick avatars?
Sometimes the XHamster experience makes me wonder about some things...
This site is good for one thing and one thing only: porn. Not hooking up, not swinging, not (insert list here)...here, you watch porn, masturbate, and then pass out.
Some of us, the uploaders, we make it a point to try and upload things that we like and we hope others have similar and other material to share and upload. In that case, being here is a way of sharing and serving others great porn.
Yet I am still puzzled at the phenomenon of dick avatars. I am referring to the avatars in which male users--or at least, users who identify themselves as males--use a penis as the single picture that represents themselves on this site. In every post, every reply, and on anything this user does...there is a dick posted.
Yet, I do not deny friend requests or am prejudiced against users who have a penis as their avatar. I am more open minded than all of that.
But to return to the point: why the dick avatar? I ask this because even though I have a penis and I have seen it fairly regularly, I have no interest in using that image or anything like it as my avatar. It isn't because it is small or ugly or anything that would make me feel inept. But I come to this place not to look at something I already have but rather something that is different.
At the same time, most research on sexuality reveals that men are the visually stimulated sex (or gender...what are we calling this these days?) and that most porn (gay or straight) was dedicated to men. This is evident enough with the fact that there are several choices for porn categories on this site and yet only one is called "female choice" (not to imply that is the ONLY porn a female on this sight would watch).
So if a user is into straight porn (I use the term loosely here), why would they choose a dick avatar? Who would be impressed or engaged because of that? Not women. Women generally don't get sexual gratification from the image of a penis. They've seen enough and that don't impress them much (that was a pun on a song)...
Rather, I am speculating here that the choice of a penis avatar is about the message the user themselves wants to send--a notification or an exultation that basically says, "here I am and I am an alpha male"? I am asking at this point and not seeking to disrespect or offend anyone.
Sadly, 9 of 10 friend requests that I get from people who have dick avatars (it's probably higher than this), have absolutely NO CONTENT of their own uploaded of ANY genre. To add, it's even more frustrating because I have been explicit in my directions for friend requests that I do not accept any friend requests if you do not have content of your own or that you do not have content that is up to my standards. In other words, these motherfuckers don't read. On a more disappointing note, some people with dick avatars have requested friendships and the only content of their creation is more pictures of their dicks or videos of their dicks ejaculating--shit, I don't want to see that shit. It is as if some of these people are such dicks that they have a picture of a dick as their avatar and they have more dick pictures and video of dicks--all of which just screams, "I'm a dick to a point when all I have are dicks and dicks and dicks, and I am a dick because I don't upload anything but rather in my dick-like dick-ish profile, I leech--which is shaped like a dick!"
And ironically, without fail, when you look at these people's profiles you will always see "Seeking: Woman."
I don't get it so that is why I am asking.
