I found myself on this site by searching for erotic stories, and soon found that there was a lot more than just some sexy literature.
I spent most of an afternoon looking at profiles, reading likes, dislikes, stories and generally perving on all of the hot girls on here.
I started wondering when creating my profile what type of pictures I should put up.
So, my question is (in the form of a poll), do girls trawl through the profiles in the hope of seeing nudity, for a perv, or, do you look at profiles for more mental stimulation?
Please comment what turns you on about profiles if you feel creative, if not, the poll is a sufficient benchmarking tool...
Most cock shots are terrible, some self indulging horn dog, with a hole in his sock and a toilet in the background.
I think one of the worst I saw was some lazy jackass in a baseball cap and nothing else, sitting in a lazy boy chair with his cock in his hand. Blech. It was so unsexy.
Men have not quite mastered sexy like women have, when it comes to say stripping and pictures.
There is one lushie I would reccomend as the best male pics on lush, but I'd not want to put him on the spot. He has mastered sexy and that is with cock showing as well, but he does it with context and care and with a love of photography.
The rest I can take or leave. Unless I blatantly ask- don't show me.
MY advice would be have some nice teasy shots, soemthing to interest people, save the whole kit and kaboodle for your private gallery, which you can share when requested.
Maybe it is because I'm straight or what not, but dicks in general aren't pretty things to look at. I can't see the appeal in dropping my trunks and taking a picture of my dong for all to see.
We all know what happened to ole' Brett Favre don't we? How about ole' Michael Weiner. Ooops. Infamy, and not in a good way. Then again, I don't understand the appeal of letting any stranger see you naked. That should be for special folk.
But anyway, lady parts are the far more beautiful sex organ anyway.
I'm IMMEDIATELY repelled by cock shots. I'll actively avoid your profile if I know I'm gonna see your dick. I feel like I'm being assaulted if I'm looking through a profile and then suddenly a dick. It does nothing for me.
My advice would be that if you wanna include dick pics in your profile, put it in a private photo album so a girl (or guy) at least has the OPTION of looking at your cock if they choose to do so.

I don't have anything against them in general but you're better off making an album and leading up to it with some teasing shots first that don't show everything. If you use one of those photos as the album cover pic it gives people the option of clicking if they want to see more, rather than seeing it all straight away.
Quote by Nikki703 Cock pics do nothing for me, especially when it is just the pic of an anonymous cock. I don't find them offensive, just not sexy!
My thoughts exactly. I am confused as to why guys think they turn us on. There is nothing odder than a disembodied erect penis. Well, maybe a flaccid one.

I agree with this. I don't like it. It actually turns me off quite a bit in most cases. I'd much rather see someone's face. When meeting someone the first thing you should see is there smile, probably not their penis
Okay, I can think of two current and one past Lushie, who do/did what I would deem to be artistic and sexy cock shots. They were tasteful, well thought out and properly composed photographs, which one could consider to be erotic art... So, out of ALL of the profiles I have seen, only 3 have made the grade (just in my opinion)
Now, I have to say that I really dislike cock pics on profiles, certainly on public view. I tend not to look at them and they are more of a turn off than a turn on if I'm scoping out a friend request or whatever. They don't offend me or anything, but I just don't like it. That would be like me putting pussy pics on my profile (don't even look, there are none, I just wouldn't do it)
That's not to say that I have never found cock pics to be sexy, that's simply not the case. There have been times where someone has plucked up the courage to share a pic with me and that can be very exciting, even if it's not a great pic. I mean, to think of them wanting to reveal such a personal thing is an honour really I guess, well, in some cases.
I also don't mind cock pics quite so much if they are set so that only friends can see them, or a private album for only closer friend(s) to see. I mean, why would I want to see some stranger's cock?? No thanks!!
Generally speaking though, unless I'm fucking you, I'm not interested in seeing your dick, thanks all the same.
Oh, I should add, from time to time, I have been sent some interesting and innovative cock/cum tributes - I don't ask for them, but some have been very clever and made me laugh (in a good way)
I don't like seeing random cocks when I visit someone's profile, even if they are on my friends list. I don't much like looking at them either. The only time I “like” seeing cock, and or even nude photos is if I know he took it for ME in mind. I once asked someone to take one of his arse, to me that was hot. I don’t want to see random nudes of men I really don’t know, and you’ll never see me comment on them either, even if I ask for them. I think the comments on nude photos are so cliché, and won’t do it. I’ll tell the person privately!

Oh I agree with this - I'd like to think someone was showing ONLY me his cock, rather than a dozen random strangers - what's special about that otherwise...
Another pet peeve is when people ASK me to comment on their pics - I very rarely look at anyone's pics at all, so I am certainly not going to go onto someone I barely know's page and start leaving comments on their pics...
I suspected as much. Really the question wasn't so much about my own profile and just cock shots, it was really about what women look at when they check out profiles.
I completely agree with the comment that woman are inherently prettier to look at!
Now for the mixed signals, and explanation..... if people surf around they will find a LOT of cock shots on profiles. And a great many of them have glowing comments about how HUGE they are, how GREAT they look, how they make the gal/guy wet/hard, what they want to do to them, etc. But people will also notice that these comments are posted by people who are saying the same thing to EVERY COCK SHOT THEY SEE (no matter WHAT the cocks looked like), and they tend to collect friends. So is it really an accurate indication of what woman want to see, or how they feel about the cock shot? I will leave each to determine that for themselves. I have however been told by more than one gal that they made those comments because they thought that was what they were supposed to do, or because the guy asked them to comment.
I considered all of this when I joined as well, and even made a thread about it. I came to the conclusion that like going to a club/bar/event, keep your cock in your pants, and in your profiles keep cock shots in private albums you can share with select friends. If you want meaningless false ego boosting comments, sure, post openly all you want. But frankly I think the quality gals will end up passing you by. It is your choice.... and those were only my thoughts/views on the matter.

Hope that helps
I'm in total agreement with Maz.
I love when guys have the stock red AV and nothing filled out on their profile, but have figured out how to post cock pics. That's some real determination.
There are exactly 2 guys I can think of on this site who have well done cock pics, and most of those are a bit of a "tease."

The worst I remember was in a bathroom over a dirty cat litter box. *retch*
I do have a question, though. Obviously guys love seeing any and all pink parts women are willing to show on Lush, but do the bi/gay guys enjoy seeing the random cock pics? If so, maybe all the cock pics posted are for men to ogle since most women don't enjoy seeing random dicks?

Biggest way for someone to get deleted off my friends list is when this happens.
I also have to agree with your comment above about (Okay, I can think of two current and one past Lushie, who do/did what I would deem to be artistic and sexy cock shots. They were tasteful, well thought out and properly composed photographs, which one could consider to be erotic art... So, out of ALL of the profiles I have seen, only 3 have made the grade.) Because I know one person who does this, and he does amazing work. I do believe you are even talking about one in the same. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking not, because we're both friends with him. ;) Haha

Hee hee, you are probably right... IM me and we can compare notes
An erect cock is a beautiful work of art, and I love looking at 'em! Having said that, create an album within your profile to showcase your "artwork". For a profile pic, use something less blatant, something more seductive. I'd rather see a sexy black n white pic of your muscular back. But I won't lie...you post pics of your dick, I'm gonna look!

Grrrr! I HATE this, especially when you say no and they keep asking. I said no, I don't need to explain to you why not. WTF??? Sore spot with me. I've just started deleting friends who ask more than once. Not even explaining, just delete.
Well, I date a lot, and if a man's profile has a cock shot as his main photo, I pass him by without a second glance.
We girls assume that every guy has a cock, so a photo affirming the obvious is not required, I like to see the face of the guy I'm considering.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Someone said it but I lost track I who, it was a very good point: guys haven't mastered the sexy or attractive nude shot. Some have. I do enjoy seeing males in porn shots and stroking. Cock shots are unapealing when they're just a random pic of a dick. . Class it up and I might put you in my album ;)
When I did take revealing shots I put a lot of time into myself. I bathed, adjusted lighting, picked out an appealing background, etc. most guys don't bother to do anything of the sort. Like - I really don care if you sit at your desk and get hard. LOL. But a suit and tie tossed on the bed and your nice and clean ;)
It's not going to get my attention. A teasing avatar, maybe your jeans partially open, your hand under the band of your briefs, being playful is erotic. In your face, no mystery, not interested.
If you're going for nudity, go for a pulled-back shot that shows some of the rest of your body... abs, thigh muscles, or go for the headless torso pic. The main turn-off is the close-ups of cock and balls. It holds no thrill to the average female because it's just an appendage and two dangling accessories underneath it. It shows nothing of what you look like or what we can expect. All we know is that you have the basic tools to do the job. A sexy body with a nice cock can be erotic. Medical grade close-ups - not so much.
I'm in total agreement with Maz.
