Fine Art student Francesca Harris did the unthinkable by asking strange men for d*ck pics (Picture: SWNS)

Ladies, you’ve probably been sent an unsolicited d*ck pic or two but unlike most of us, this student has purposely asked strange men to send her the risque images.

Francesca Harris used a dating app to receive as many pictures as possible to make an art project out of it.

And of course, the men of Tinder obliged, out of the kindness of their heart (or whatever kick they get out of sending nudes).

The 21-year-old Fine Art student, from Northampton, was met with 300 responses, with some pretty strange requests, as you can imagine.


But she laid all the cards on the table, putting on her Tinder bio that she was on the hunt for x-rated snaps for her project The Modern Man.



Annoyingly for her, some of them replied with ‘tits first’.

One guy sent her 25 of pics of himself. Charming.

After finding a match, the third-year student led the conversation with ‘dick pic?’ but says the reaction she received has varied.

Francesca matched with 600 men but found almost a third of them asked what they would get in return.

As expected, many quipped that their body parts would be ‘too big’ to fit on the 6ft canvas that she later painted each image on.

Francesca was sent a total of 300 snaps and whittled them down to 140 before she began painting them onto the canvas.

‘It’s such a prominent thing in the world of modern dating,’ she said.

‘I can’t remember a time when people weren’t sending me these sort of pictures.

‘It must have started in my early teens – it happens to everyone I know. It’s become the norm.

‘Sometimes you can be having a conversation with somebody and bam, they get it in their head that you’re after a picture of their penis and they send it through.’

She added that while she had no issues with men sending images to consenting women, she abhors the idea of unsolicited ones.

Personally, she doesn’t enjoy receiving them unless she has a special connection to the person.

The student also added that she was entertained by some of the responses to her message, though disgusted by many.

‘There were a few who sent professional looking shots and one of them even went to the trouble of sending 25 to me.

‘One guy just replied with “pour curry on my willy” which I just found extremely weird.

‘I was still shocked by the number of guys who did it though, even though I was expecting it.

‘I had to turn my notifications as it kept crashing my phone.’

She added that some dudes refused to comply which gave her some hope.

Francesca said: ‘I found the penises that were slightly unusual or particularly veiny took longer to paint.

‘A few were more purple than others were quite tricky.

‘I remember one had two cock rings on it and no matter how many attempts I made to paint it, it just didn’t look quite right.’

She received more than 300 pics (Picture: SWNS)

Her project was shown at the University of Northampton’s Degree Show last month, and received a mix of reactions.



‘I think the most interesting reactions are from middle-aged women, who have all experienced similar behaviour when on dating apps,’ she continued.

‘Men have definitely been a lot more uncomfortable with it than the women though.

‘I want people to reflect and understand why they are so uncomfortable with seeing male genitalia.

‘If men could think twice about sending unsolicited dick pics that would be great.’

The Modern Male will be debuting in at The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London on July 5-8.
