Old mate Jesse Willesee is at it again. And this time, he brought dick pics.
“I have a lot of young dudes following me on Instagram and seeing my work online, and I think that gives me an opportunity to reach them. Because dudes need to be saying to other dudes – this isn’t cool. This is bad behaviour, this is harassment. You’re doing something that not only hurts women, but hurts you.”
So, as you are undoubtedly about to angrily mash into the Facebook comment section of this article, ‘why release photos of yourself taking dick pics, if you’re against it!!~!1!’. Well, because Jesse wants to show how weird, grimly raw and ‘unpalatable’ the process of taking dick pics can be:
“Honestly it’s kind of gross,” Jesse laughs. “It was important for me that the images looked very real and not glamorous. You take this ugly photo – and then send it to a stranger? It’s really ridiculous when you think about it. And trust me – pretty much nobody thinks it’s sexy getting an unwanted picture of a penis from a stranger”.
“There was a time when I was naïve to these issues. Maybe if men won’t listen to their friends and girlfriends, they will listen each other. Men need to have these conversations.“
