I would honestly be surprised if what you suggest is true. I am a pretty “aware” middle aged guy. I was in a conversation about this just the other day when we were talking about Weiner. Out of a bunch of us—ranging from late 20’s to mid 50s, none of us had done it, and only a couple could think of sending one to their wives.
And we all agreed that it would NEVER include a face.
I am not a prude at all. I just think a Congressman would know better.
It certainly wasn’t smart to include the face, I’ll give you that.
But why would anyone admit sending a pic like that? I mean, who’s going to admit to friends that you did that?
I knew this guy once, he was on staff at a church. He was so well liked and trusted. We worked on a project and were somewhat close, I thought in just a “let’s get this done!” kind of way.
He once sent me a pic of himself in the bath. Just his legs. And then immediately said, “Oh sorry, trying to send you a PDF, delete that please!”
But seriously, I knew he sent it on purpose and I realized that my friendly and outgoing nature and our close proximity during the project had given him the idea that we were closer than we were.
I doubt that he would in a million years ever confess to anyone that he’s done that.
I never told anyone (except for relating it here as an example), wasn’t insulted, and never mentioned it to him.
I did feel sorry for him, he was a very lonely guy.
