- Kerry Quinn, from Los Angeles, has received many unsolicited pictures of male genitalia while using dating apps
- The 27-year-old decided to send a picture of a v@gina she found on the internet to unsuspecting guys on the dating app Bumble
- Of the 40 she sent it to, three didn’t reply – and the other 37 all wanted to meet her
- Some of the men’s responses are gross, while others are unintentionally hilarious
These days, young single women know all too well the feelings of horror and disgust that come from opening up a text from a potential date and finding an unsolicited picture of his genitals.
Kerry Quinn is one such woman. But rather than continue to moan about the seemingly never-ending stream of ‘d**k pics’, the 27-year-old decided to flip the script, sending pictures of a v@gina — which she found online — to 40 men she matched with on the dating app Bumble and documenting their reactions for Thrillist.
Far from being met with the same shock and revulsion that many women express in similar situations however, the Los Angeles resident was surprised to find that every single one of the men who responded wanted to meet her, with several returning gross and often hilarious replies.
Pretty pics: Kerry Quinn sent a v@gina picture to 40 men on the dating app Bumble to test their responses
The results: The Los Angeles resident was surprised that 37 of the men had positive reactions and wanted to meet, while three didn’t answer
Romantic? This guy wasn’t content with just a close-up and wanted a full-length picture
‘Unsurprisingly, I get more unsolicited d**k pics than you could ever imagine,’ Kerry said of her experience with dating apps as a single woman.
But when it came time to try this pick-up tactic on her own, she wasn’t ready to send out actual pictures of her own v@gina.
Instead, she searched online and eventually settled on one that had her skin tone and looked ‘cute’. She then downloaded Bumble, a dating app she chose because it allows users to send pictures within the app, instead of having to move to actual text messages.
‘If I was going to send vaje pics willy-nilly, I didn’t want to have too many weirdos knowing my phone number,’ she explained frankly.
Once it was on her phone, she searched for men aged 22 to 60 and swiped right on everyone who popped up on her screen. When she matched with 100, she sent each of them a quick note reading ‘hello handsome’ to start the conversation.

Just a regular day? Several seemed completely unfazed and wanted to talk more
Dirty: Others sent more lengthy responses detailing what they would like to do to Kerry’s v@gina
Outsourcing: Kerry found the picture online because she didn’t want to send strangers a photo of her own genitalia
Three men responded to Kerry immediately. She flirted heavily with them and, after four or five messages, sent each the pre-selected ‘v-pic’.
Though many women feel that similar treatment from men constitutes sexual harassment, the men perhaps desensitized by the increasingly prevalence of online p@rnography, seemed unfazed.
Not only did they not freak out as Kerry expected, but many sent long, detailed replies explaining just what they would like to do to the v@gina in the photo.
Undeterred, Kerry tried a different tactic with the next round of men who responded. This time she sent them the v-pic immediately after they replied to her ‘hello handsome’ message.
The other side: Many of the men were excited – not at all turned off or disgusted, as many women are when they receive unsolicited d**k pics
Surprise! One man told Kerry that he’d actually received a v@gina picture from a girl before
‘Yummy. That for me?’ wrote one lascivious man named Byron, who got right to the point.
‘You have the most perfect vajaja I wanna meet her,’ wrote Jeff, who seemed to be unable to spell the v@ginal nickname ‘vajayjay’, which was coined on a 2006 episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
Others sent back pictures of their own, firing off ten d**k pics, the hearts-in-eyes emoji, and a photo of the sender’s dog – and that’s not a euphemism.
‘I would definitely like to lick that,’ said a guy named Greg, who also noted that Kerry was the best girl he had matched with on the app yet.
A few others were less obscene — but no less unintentionally comical — in their replies. A man named Andrew told her quite simply that the ‘lighting is a little off’, while Lachlan fired back with: ‘Nice. Let’s catch up some time.’
Critical: This man wasn’t thrilled with the picture – but mostly because it wasn’t well lit
Getting a little cutesy: A few of the men responded to Kerry’s revealing picture with emoji
Myki, in a bid to either be romantic or make sure Kerry had a nice figure, too, wrote: ‘Zoom out. I want to see all of you.’
Finally, Kerry tried one last tactic to see if she’d get a reaction, sending the v-pics as soon as she matched with a man, without so much as a ‘hello’.
Even then, seven out of ten men responded positively — and the other three didn’t respond at all. Of the 37 total men who replied to her, every single one wanted to meet up — making it seem like some men will just never understand why women don’t want unrequested d*** pics.
‘I’d initially hoped the guys would see how invasive it is to receive such intimate photos from a stranger,’ Kerry explained. ‘When I’m excited to get to know a guy, his p*nis isn’t the first part of him that I want to know.’
For some men, however, a working v@gina seems to be the only thing necessary when securing a date.
Getting to the point: After first contacting guys with a ‘hi handsome’ message, she eventually just sent the picture without a word
