Sending unsolicited dick pics is now illegal in Texas - Can this be implemented universally?

Question

Glad to see that this is finally being handled.

circumstances · Accepted Answer

I accidentally sent an inappropriate picture (not nude) to a female friend. She had bought me a coat as a gift and asked me to send her a picture wearing it so she could see how it looked. I took a few pictures, scrolled through my picture gallery, and sent her one. Unfortunately, in the picture gallery it appeared as if the picture cut off at my waist, but when you click on the full picture it cuts off at my thigh. It was completely unsolicited (as well as unintentional on my part), so I have two questions. Would this be considered a "dick pic," and (if it was) would it matter that it was sent completely by accident?

there are approximately 30 million people in the state of Texas.
the average person texts 32 times a day not including social media apps which when accounted for bring this to over 50.
10 percent of people send dick pics
of the people that send dick pics those messages make up 5 percent of the messages they send
of the dick pics sent a whopping 20 percent are unsolicited in some way

I ran the numbers In my head b/c I am a genius. It comes to 1.5 Million unsolicited DICK pics every single day in the state of Texas.

A number of very restrictive anti porn laws should have been implemented the day people starting sharing images and text.

Now it is too late to implement anything because it is almost impossible to control, let alone regulate the net.

As long as so much money is involved, it is in nobody's interest to regulate the internet and certainly not the governments.

They would have way too much to lose by losing control over their citizens.

The idea however is good. Let's hope this becomes an international law that protects citizens rather than criminals, just like so many laws actually do.

Wow I live in Texas and I didn't know it. I think it is a good idea because if a man pulled out his penis in the real world it would be a sex offender crime. My friend had to call the police the other day because a man was masturbating on the train in front of her during rush hour time. She really felt it was directed to her since he was right in front of her.

If it isn't sent because two people are sharing together then it is wrong. Well i'm not really for any digital sharing but as long as it is consensual I don't have a problem with it.

Gotta say I've developed a revolutionary new take on the unsolicited dick pic. Here's the setup fellas, all you need is a few gifs and some clip art take notes. So let's say you use snapchat, take said dick pic, no holding it or letting your ego show through or any of that gay shit. Just the dick himself no balls. First give him a bouncing top hat right over the head, now that's a good start. Put in a pair of twinkling, half-way anime eyes below the top hat and a monocle over your preferred eye, now we're getting somewhere. Put a dapper mustache in where a mustache would go, and as a coup de grace (bonus points) a clip art suit over the lower third of the shaft. And voila you've not sent a cringy dick pic, but a cultured gentlemen she might not mind spending some time with. I'll be taking thank you letters at; 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC

genericname85 · Answer

dude seriously. the idiocy of laws that recently come out in america is not even funny anymore. it is terrifying and shocking. like why are people unable to cope with life that much? how do you even proof that it was "unsilicited"? by claiming you didn't want it in hindsight? or must there be a written formal contract that alows people to send each other nudes first? this shit gets dumber by the day.

loveslongnails · Answer

Are unsolicited pussy pics illegal too? I'm guessing so, but what about breasts? I wonder who is going to enforce any violations... the dick pic cops? Well I'm glad y'all took action on THAT really urgent issue, Texas. Now you can work on making vibrators legal, which are currently against the law.

rxm_bxl · Answer

Firstly same should be done in regards to females sending unsolicited nudes. Forget about 'females wouldn't do that" or "all female nudes are welcome to dudes" it should just also be a law.
Can it be implementated globally, sure it can.
Will it be implemented globally, hell no.

Rica_ChicaUSA · Answer

I hope they make it illegal like that in ALL states! But a $500 fine is nothing... They should make it at least $5,000. Heh, I know I'm about to be making a bunch of guys pay fines. Because you know I'll tell on them first thing if I didn't want to see it... Man, I need to move to Texas!!!

Dirtyoldman73 · Answer

I don't know how this could be enforced but it is crude behavior anyway.

I don't think it is up to governments to regulate individual citizens behavior beyond obvious threats to safety like assaults, theft, murder etc. This is an unfortunate effect of a free and open internet and 1st Amendment plus ability to remain anonymous.

How would this apply if the recipient is in Texas but sender was in Georgia or Russia even?

I think this has more political benefit for conservative politics than for the public.

It is already illegal if the intended recipient is under age.

If your over 18 and online suck it up, your an adult so stop asking daddy politician to protect you.

Miristheiss · Answer

Good to see the law is on top of "important" stuff.
What a valuable thing to devote energy and resources to.
Hitting delete and block is too much to expect from people. Let's suck law enforcement and the courts to this inportant matter.

Nik1hil · Answer

@GermanGuy87 like he said..

Hum.. A 750 Million Dollars revenue from male section of society..
Means another Million dollars adventure for Government.. 🤔
If government wanted to punish it could go with Community service..
But seems like money Matters 💸💸💸

andreasderjuengere · Answer

My girl (and me as well) had received such pictures before. We looked at them together and it was a great source for laughter.
I don't see the point in winding up about something irrelevant.
Instead of dealing (legally) with 'dick pics', I'd rather think of a 'driving license' for electronic communications. One, that can be revoked.

RegularTK421 · Answer

The court system is always looking to take in more money. It's a good idea though, it punishes morons who send unsolicited dick pics 24/7. We all know it's going to be a low priority offense, but if someone is really annoying and unrelenting in their um "unorthodox online dating" efforts, then he could wind up paying the fine.

dbr1987 · Answer

Guys who send Dick picks have no idea of female nature. Without general sexual attraction or attraction to the person sending it it has zero value. It's Just a loose attachment.. but to ban it is ridiculous.. why take offence to a image someone sends you. This law is a stupid feministlaw with implementation from the left

DWornock · Answer

Since the fine is only $500, I'm in favor of it. That should be easy to collect and it is a large enough penalty to prevent guys sending such photos; expecially repeat offenders. However, if it was prison time such as a year in prison, I would be opposed.

TripleAce · Answer

Ya the movement was runned by a feminist and thats just stupid
Because do girls get a fine for all the ridiculous things they do

How about we start with premium snapchat which is basically porn. Or women coercing men to pay for their virginity

djmzes · Answer

Simple

MajesticTwelve · Answer

Of all the problems we have with the legal system, this law is one of the most unimportant time sinks I could imagine. If someone shows me a dick pic, I simply don't care. (under age exclusions apply)

SirRexington · Answer

I'm not against making this illegal as it's harassment, but how would it be enforced?

And yes, this should be treated as a crime universally. A fine is enough. No jail time though, unless it's to minors.

1truekhaleesi · Answer

In real life, this is indecent exposure. How is this crime any different just because it's over the internet?

TalloranShade · Answer

It should be! 😂 Seriously though, it's sexual harassment/public nudity no? You weren't asked and sometimes when you say no guys do it anyway, that's sexual harassment I'd say, and it should definitely count as public nudity unless it's consensual.

I never understood why guys do this 😂 Just never saw why, I'd never do it personally.

AuroraRoseat · Answer

I can see the argument for sexual harassment. It's like flashing someone without their want. I personally don't have an issue with it but I understand it. I agree with it.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

Oh man can we please get this in Canada too? I'm just about to jump back into the dating scene and I am already exhausted knowing I'm gonna have to wade through dick picks I did not ask for or want

buttcrackjoe · Answer

Its basically public indecent exposure which has been on the books for some time. There is usually a delay for legislation with new technology. Imagine if the state awarded $$ for the women who received dick picks. That’ll make em all stop instantly

Truthatanycost · Answer

Note how the law pertains only to dick pics, as opposed to any form of unsolicited nudity...

Dchrls78104 · Answer

I wish it could reach my country as well. Sending unsolicited pictures of your genitals to others is disrespectful, indecent, and a gross invasion of privacy and personal space.

markscott · Answer

It's about time it was made illegal to send unsolicited dick pics. Sometimes legislators get it right.

theharlequin · Answer

This was a waste of time and money. Sending *any* nudes unsolicited is illegal at a federal level, being defined as a type of sexual harassment.

Bananaman177 · Answer

I'm fucking glad! I hope guys stop doing it so that women stop complaining about it.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

What about unsolicited pussy pics? Not common you say? They are but not addressed because guys don't care also because it's not a problem. Also how do you prove if it was unsolicited or you really really asked for it in the bar?

OfDeath · Answer

I think this is a step too far. Anyone can just say a dick pic was unsolicited when it was in fact solicited.

Anonymous · Answer

funny enough, I've seen a lot of girls who host live streams esp on Skout that facetime w/ dudes who randomly pull their dick out and NONE of them cut the stream. They just sit there and watch the dude

You can speak with your local representative about this issue.

Wonder if sending pics of Dick Chaney is now illegal?

Sevenpointfive · Answer

what about unsolicited tit pics? damn, time to start a dick pic fines account

0112358 · Answer

This strikes me as something better managed via terms of use than the criminal justice system.

Anonymous · Answer

How do you prove it was unsolicited though? Sounds like a lot of vindictive women can blindside men with fines by claiming it was unsolicited while it was asked for

CountessSarah · Answer

Implemented universally? This can't even be implemented in Texas. Good luck policing the internet.

Anonymous · Answer

Here is how it will go in Texas now that there is this law Guy asks girl if she wants a Dick pic.  Girl says no Guy moves on to next girl Girls eventually start saying yes

jss123 · Answer

Yes. As long as its implemented for women too. I've had unsolicited vagina pics sent me. Sounds great but its not always.

Evil_Chuck · Answer

That would be nice. Most guys don't do it because we're not mentally 13 years old, but for the rest of us who haven't caught up, I guess it has to be spelled out that this isn't okay.

PrettyRegular · Answer

Is sending a pic of a vagina illegal? I know dickpics are more common, but laws like this should go both ways. I think it's a good law.

Passinggas · Answer

I heard Anthony Weiner is going to head-up the dic-pic committee to implement this universally.

Kdude010 · Answer

Women are just as horny as men, maybe even more. This decision is made from a minority, which consists of mainly feminists making decisions for the majority (aka horny women that wouldn't mind a dick pic or two).

grkmanga · Answer

Meh. A bit stupid... if it's just a Dick pic... how they gonna know whose dick it is... I mean could be a fake lol

Waterwhistler · Answer

I hope so. Even naked women body should be included because everyone doesn't have to know the nudity or porn.

Syrian_survivor · Answer

It's a social problem, this wouldn't be enough to stop it even if it's universally applied. Kill the root, not what'a growing out of it.

morrowlow · Answer

i don't live in Texas. i'm going to send you some dic pics before the law becomes universal. you don't need to thank me

DiegoO · Answer

I thought it was illegal already, but if someone anonymous did I doubt law enforcement would give it importance unless it involved minors.

Walrus_au · Answer

Any way we could add to the punishment by publishing the picture so everyone can laugh at it?

Justbeyouandbehappy_ · Answer

I would actually get paid by suing if I lived in Texas lol not that I would do that

Anonymous · Answer

sure. it's great until women start taking advantage of it and verbally consenting to receive a dick pic and then when the guy sends it she claims she didn't want it... sort of like how they try to make regret into "rape".

nailu · Answer

I’m in a few groups where this would be considered a welcome advance in the right direction. A law against dicpics 😂

adidas0169 · Answer

If your under 21 it should be illegal and dealt with a heavy hand

bigcuband · Answer

This law was passed because dude sent his dick to Democrats girl

Anonymous · Answer

It's basically sexual harassment, it should be punished harshly.  That being said, I'll start screen capturing consent messages to protect myself.

CT_CD · Answer

Is this for any unsolicited nudes? I'm tired of all the women who keep sending me unsolicited nudes.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

My motion is to prove whether or not said "dick pic" was actually his or of a downloaded nature..

Denniszen · Answer

Its illegal to send pictures of president nixon to people? Oh my...

Nachowedgie · Answer

Will unsolicited pussy pics be illegal too? I very much doubt it

Jmmmfi4 · Answer
