Im a woman, and I hate cock avs. If I wanted to see a guys's cock,I would go to his thread.
I can't say I've noticed an influx of cock avs myself. I'm not bothered by them personally... I remember someone by their av usually rather than their name at first so I'd prefer they had a cock av to no av sometimes.
I would like to see a funny cock av ... one dressed up in Mr Potato Head accessories would be cute!
Are you thinking of getting you one Raw? Or did you just want to see lots of women write the word 'cock'?

I don't like them but it doesn't bother me that they are there, and wouldn't stop me talking to its owner.

Cock av's have been very common since the first day I joined lit years ago....
..I never really felt it was for me....but a woman here tried to get me to do it once, but I was reluctant.......but I have sampled with a few av's feat. only my cock since then.......
..and frankly the response was varied...
..it simply is not for every one....to do it, or to look at ....
..but I really don't see the big deal......it's only a picture...and a small one at that.......I don't know why anyone would be offended by it....but there are those that are....and there are others that really like them......
..you can't please everyone so just....well.......you know how the saying goes.....

I actually quite enjoy them. Someone once mentioned to me that the women on lit tend to get an o/l personae. I think this is the male way of participating in lit and I highly support it In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing more of them. But, if they annoy certain people, they could always incorporate tasteful lighting or full body shots. Plus, there are some people who should show off a bit Admittedly, I'm not a fan of close ups on the female vagina, but I assume there's someone out there who enjoys them, so I just overlook it. Anyways, as there's a variety of Avs from the cover to the overt, I do hope this style hangs around for a bit

LMAO
Maybe it's just the women I've talked to, but most of them hate cock avs as much as I do.
I was hoping to see an overwhelming majority that hates them so that I could have a positive influence on the Lit world by perhaps reducing the number of cock avs in the world.
To me, it's just obnoxious. I mean, you don't see many close-up cunt avatars of women - because women tend to have tact and a sense of art. With guys, it's often just "BLAM, here's my cock".

Hey Raw,
I do understand your perspective, but I still want to reiterate my earlier post
Like I said, someone commented to me that women tend to develop more of an o/l personae and he's correct. Plus, it seems as if women are more likely to develop their own picture thread. In that way, the women seem more active on lit, even if there is a greater M population. Plus, sometimes I feel as if the women are more likely to provide more well thought-out posts outside the 1-line blurts of 'what are you doing/wearing/did' threads. In that way I occasionally feel as if a lot of men on lit are slipping into passive roles of watchers (which includes less effort in posts or PMs). Note: not all, but there're still more lurkers than participators. I fear that if the cock Avs disappear, the only people on display sexually will be the women, and that's hardly fair
It's possible the people you discuss this with share your perspective, because, well, they're your friends. And, friends/acquaintances tend to have shared beliefs. However, I believe the pic requirements do keep things from becoming too unseemly. I also think each gender has its own way of participating visually, and this is the male way which I don't take issue with and understand.
So, to repeat, from my lone place, please, please don't take my cock pics away. I love to see them cumming, erect, long, short, thick, skinny, veiny, smooth, hooded and non-hooded But, to appease the R, if you want to add some variety in your pics or 'dress up a bit' feel free to do that, but do keep them on display

Hello Quiet Woman. I hope my av meets with your approval. I'm sorry if it doesn't with some other people but I like it. It shows my interests without a lot of pre-amble and considering the whole point of this forum I am surprised that there are people who are offended by the sight of an erection. Also I tend to be a boundary pusher as illustrated by the removal of my thread by the moderator. Another also.....I have quite a small penis and it tends to look at it's best when erect so I'll tend to show it off looking as good as possible. (All subjective of course) I'm far more concerned about avs that purport to be someone when they are not. It's not a big deal, it's just disappointing if you find out later that your first impressions were incorrect. Anyway, enough of these incoherant ramblings except to say that I like to see cock avs. It's nice to know that guys are confident enough to "stand up and be counted" whatever the size of their penis.

I don't "hate" them. Some are quite nice. I do like more originality. I like yours but it freaks me out. LOL
Also women tend to do the boob avatars a lot. Someone said I had a pretty back and skin (I agree I love my avatar). That's why I chose that one. Also I like the purple panties, my red hair, and I think it shows the true me having fun. Hands in the air like I just don't care!

Not everyone has the resources/abilities/time/interest to shoot pictures that are sensual rather than blunt. I don't play for that team, but I appreciate it when a man does nicely-executed body shots that tell a story. The avatar is a thumbnail sketch representing that person, business card of sorts. If you are blunt, then a blunt avatar might be perfect for you.
Guys are often interested in the shortest distance from A to B. It's easy to take a picture of your dick. It's right there, and it's not like you need to get help, stop and ask for directions, and hear about how your significant other feels about the picture. There's a little more work involved in taking a body shot, unless you've got a helper.
I take note of and agree with quietwoman187's remark about if no cocks, then no men. That might be the case in many situations. For some guys, their dick is their most photogenic feature (and arguably their least recognizable).
Any way we do it, other people respond to the signals we send, even the ones we don't know we send. I'd rather tell you more about myself than just that I'm a man with a dick. But if I had one like that Horse Hung guy, that deserves an avatar. But 150 pixels can't really do it justice

Cock av's don't bother me all that much. *shrugs*
I figure it's that person's right to use whatever the hell they want.

Oddly - yours is one of the, ummm... 'nicer' ones, to me - because it does show some personality and creativity.
Perhaps it's mostly the GB that has issue with the cock avs...

I would also point out that more men have voted than women and the highest score tends towards ambivalence. What I like about lit is that it allows all facets of expression. My fear is that if we standardize to one perspective that reduces the fun of the boards. Normally, I agree with you, Raw, but on this instance I fear I must demure
If a guy has an Av up, especially if it includes a portion of his body, that tends to indicate he might not be a passive participant within the lit arena to me. And, I always hated the old argument that the female body on display is more acceptable/beguiling. There are so many bra, etc. shots on TV, that I wish they’d even it up a bit with a couple male crotch shots. European TV used to include include equal amounts of m/f nudity, but not so much anymore (well, from what I've noticed in my last visit). Heck, I wish they didn't just use the female silhouette on the main lit page.
Clearly I'm all for them, due to my recent fetish. However, I think if a sudden push to remove cocks took place, that’d make me even more uneasy in the lit arena. After all, male picture threads are already in the minority. And, I’m very hesitant about a lit world which includes scantily clad female Avs contrasted with fully clothed male Avs.
And, I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of viewing parts of the female body. I don’t want to see another woman’s nipples, her bra, etc. even when it’s tastefully done. However, outside my preference I assume there’s someone who enjoys it. Also, I don’t want to infringe on the woman’s desire to express herself. One of my former chat friends used to forward on images of naked women believing I’d find it attractive despite my blatant statement otherwise. Needless to say, we no longer chat So, if one type of Av disappeared, I believe both should, in all fairness. Perhaps we should all standardize to inanimate objects as modes of self-representation

I really don't give a shit.
Frankly, I would rather see a dude's face before I saw his cock, though...
Hard to explain why. If I saw his cock first, I'd feel like a rape victim.
In fact, every time I see a cock avatar and have never seen the cock owner's face, I feel like I have been raped, mind raped. And so does my private area.

Breeding? What, has science made gay sex baby making possible now? Well, it's the interwebs, so anything is possible in the virtual realm.
I want a pet gaysex baby.

Well, perhaps. LOL
But on some things I agree with them... for instance, the signatures that take up half of your screen or the ones that are just completely obnoxious.

OK, even I agree with you on that
LOL
Thank you.
Maybe I'm just an old grouch, but it seems to me that if your signature is 3 times as long as your average post size, then maybe you should rethink something.
