What do you do if you receive unwanted pictures or creepy messages?
What do social media companies need to do to stop online sexual harassments? Especially pedophile predator behavior on Instagram.
Feel free if your comfortable to tell your own stories. There are men and other people who just wont take no for an answer. What is the solution? Open Discussion
 
I’m on Good Reads. My bookshelf is populated with books about nutrition.
I got a dick pic.
I reported him and he vanished from the platform. the same will happen here.
IG/Facebook should ban such users from the platform. I also think any illegal images/contact should be reported to authorities. By IP

I find it discussing that people impose them selves in solicited on others. Believe me I am no pride I have my share of fantasy, fetishes and kinks. Why would I want to share those with anyone not interested.

Wow was that terrible. My phone goes crazy sometimes. Hope you get the idea.
 
On here I don't particularly care about receiving unsolicited material, sure it's annoying just getting random shit filling up your inbox but it's easy enough to put a stop to. Being a site with a sexual theme it's pretty inevitable that people will show off, we have to remember that guys think we're all eagerly waiting for naked pictures of themselves :joy: this is also an international site, different countries have different attitudes and cultures, certain behaviour will be treated differently in different parts of the world just as what's acceptable in one place won't be in another.
Just because we have a particular set of morals in western societies who are we to judge the morals and ways of a different culture.
I'm thick skinned and really doesn't bother me personally what I get sent into my inbox here if we're just talking about guys showing off, consensual sexual acts or whatever however I understand that others would take offence.

Social media, I don't bother with it anymore.
Sure I've had unsolicited stuff sent via Social media in the past but that's a result of being on sexual themed groups or pages, when I've been on different platforms my profile has never been openly public so have never experienced unexpected messages from people in that way, only from pages and groups which I took as a pinch of salt the same as I so here.

People whatever they're men or women using platforms to groom, stalk, harass bully share content without permission or be involved with anything to do with minors should be prosecuted, that's my polite answer. Personally I'd see some these predators swing for their crimes!

How can we control or police it? Well that's beyond me, from what I hear Social media platforms are getting the message however I imagine it's a costly exercise so I don't expect miracles when big businesses are more concerned about their profits. My kids use tiktok which out of any of them is my biggest worry, seems a lot goes on on there that shouldn't. Last I knew tiktok was run by a company in China so how that can be policed I have no idea, all we can do is put in place the latest security measures for our kids, educate them etc.
 
Here I just report it to the mod team. They take care of it. I don't get many unwanted messages anymore since locking down my gallery, but on the rare occasion I do get a random dick-pic I just report it and move on.

Other websites I don't have any pics posted of myself whatsoever, and I'm not on many sites anyway. I don't have many issues getting harassed because I'm basically a plant everywhere else online.

I've never been on dating apps of any kind.
 
I think it’s even more important to involve consent on a sexually themed website. It’s not “anything goes”. It’s wrong to say, “well, it’s a big dick website, so of course you’re going to receive unwanted pics or comments”. Um, you need my consent to involve me sexually - no matter what the circumstances. Doesn’t matter if it’s online or in real life. You need my consent.

It’s against the rules here to send unsolicited pics. That’s a good thing. If no one asked for it? Don’t send it. Don’t tribute someone without their consent. It’s attitudes like this that squashed my gallery. I just didn’t welcome unwanted pics and fantasies. It affected my ability to express my sexuality. I think that’s kind of sad.
 
Being a straight man it is annoying to get hit on by a gay guy. I just make it clear that I have no interest. If it goes beyond that I report it and move on. That's what I do anyway.
 
Tell our stories... Men in "Ask a Straight Man" forum are being harassed by gay men in a daily basis.

The worst offender was banned recently.
What do the men do when this happens?

When I first started contributing to certain kinds of questions in AASM I did try responding in a genuine effort to offer insight and help out the OP (and to legit and respectful questions, I still will). But after seeing how that particular sub-forum seems to be a magnet for those whose only purpose for posting a question is to get their "gay man seduces straight man" fantasy on and only seek the answers that confirm their bias; getting upset when an actual straight man answers and pops their kink bubble, rarely will I waste my time with a serious answer to such nonsense.

Yes, it gets annoying that these particular trolls' view of other men are clouded by porn and certain dick-centric websites to where they feel all straight men are secretly cock-hungry and they and they alone can break through these guys' orientation shell. Between this and the seemingly endless admissions of urinal and locker room voyeurism it unfortunately seems like there is a good amount of unabashed predatory behavior out there and while not meant to minimize the serious issue of women being harassed, this is at least one aspect they usually don't have to deal with when just trying to get changed or take a piss.

So rather than waste good typing time and mental thought on these kinds of posts I usually find a sarcastic comment or GIF serves a far better purpose in answering their redundant drivel even if it doesn't contribute constructively to the conversation. But it does serve to let them know how tedious and tiresome they are. Since I've never had anyone here try to personal harass me or go beyond their asinine posts, I've never felt the need to report someone and besides my snarky response, prefer to just watch anyone else pile on them, knowing that eventually they'll catch the attention of someone with the authority to make them go bye bye.
 
“But after seeing how that particular sub-forum seems to be a magnet for those whose only purpose for posting a question is to get their "girls [sic] all want huge dick so I who have little else to offer get a chance and it’s not fair if I don’t” fantasy on and only seek the answers that confirm their bias; getting upset when an actual woman answers and pops their kink bubble, rarely will I waste my time with a serious answer to such nonsense.”

I’m posting this slightly edited form on every AAW question that goes ranty.

I take the high road...and rant about how stupid and worthless the post and OP is, the grown up I am. While it is predatory behavior and highly annoying, I don’t get any DM’s or anything, so I don’t report anything. I’ve occasionally gone as far as to report a thread just to have it moved, that’s it for me.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, he did get banned. Posting baiting/inciting comments in Ask a Straight Man and Ask a Gay Man as well as Ask a Man. Seemed to have an axe to grind with straight dudes. Either that, or just garden variety trolling.

Usually these types tend to get banned when they amass enough complaints against them. They're like the heads of a hydra; chop one off and three more grow in their place.

Probably little you can do except report them when they act up.

Sorry. I forgot to answer you, but Motion-of-the-Ocean already did a better job than me.

I was going to do basically the same comparison hehe You girls have to deal with every insecure guys on the planet, but we also have our hurdles. AASM is now a forum about gay men's fantasies. Now they already have their forum, the AAM forum and also AASM. Yes, just like in AAW, they ask the question, answer their own questions (we can't apply the "privilege" of limiting the answers to straight men only) and many times they don't accept when straight men don't confirm their ideas.

Few posts are ok, but damn... I am afraid to bath in my gym's shower now because of gay men that jerk off in the shower after taking a look at my butt. I don't even want to mention saunas, jerk off buddies and sex with straight men.

Feel free to use it. Although I'd copy & paste as seeing what you ladies have to go through with some knuckleheads, you'll be doing a lot of redundant typing if not.
 
things like being called “girls” When we are grown up women?
