"I'm not sure what fab can do about this. But we are sick of single men sending unsolicited dick pics. The law is quite clear on this. Cyberflashing is a specific criminal offence under Section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Punishable by Up to two years in prison, An unlimited fine and being placed on the Sex Offenders Register. The Online Safety Act places strict duties on tech companies. Social media platforms and dating apps are legally required to use automated detection tools to proactively catch, blur, or block these images before they reach a user's inbox. Now to be clear, we actually want to meet single men. But we shouldnt have to worry about every time we open a message to be confronted by a man's meat and two veg. " Are you a lawyer or do you just have a law degree? Asking for a friend | |||

"OMG!!! Is this a wind up. Just took a look at your profile. I’m offended by your pics - and to be clear, they are on a public forum, not on “your” site. Just delete and move on. Or why not jump off the site and use the Tescos Xtra, or the local as your swinging meet/resource! " We did the same, find fake hot tubs, aka lazy spa, very offensive, do we dial 112? | |||

"Just scroll on and delete. We get them all the time. Bit extreme response, it is Fab after all." Fab is not exempt the law. According to the owners Fab is a social Medea Site specifically for swingers. Would you post a dick on a famous medea site? | |||

"If it is against the law, which it is, why do Fab allow it??" Because when you register, you accept a term saying that you may receive inappropriate content, and that if you do you can try reporting it to admin and/or the Police, but if that doesn't work then your only option is to leave the site. And the Police probably can't be bothered, because it's a sex site. | |||

"Some thought provoking comments, which raise more questions. Does it make any difference if the person you're talking to has naked pictures of themselves on their profile? Does it make any difference if you're talking to a couple rather than a single? Does it make any difference if the photo is of your whole body naked, rather than just a photo of your dick? Is this a difference between swingers and non-swingers? If you've spent some time at a dress down club then naked dicks lose some of their ability to shock... " The difference is quite simple, if you choose to look, that’s very different to an unsolicited dick pic. For example, We don’t make anyone look at our profile and we don’t send pictures without asking for consent first | |||

"The difference is quite simple, if you choose to look, that’s very different to an unsolicited dick pic. For example, We don’t make anyone look at our profile and we don’t send pictures without asking for consent first " But if your argument is that by clicking on your profile then someone has given consent to seeing whatever sort of photos you choose to post, couldn't exactly the same argument be used to say that you've implicitly consented by logging into a sex site? Look, I totally understand that a lot of guys on this site are complete dicks, and that a lot of them prove it in their first message, but would the site somehow stopping them sending these pictures really improve your life? They'd still find other ways of proving that they're dicks. And for me, one of the defining features of being a swinger is that you're not offended by other people's genitals. We shouldn't lose site of the fact that this is a site primarily for swingers. | |||

" I agree with some of the points you make, yes it is a swingers site, dicks will still prove they’re dicks and we shouldn’t be offended by other people’s genitals. I wouldn’t say we’re offended by them, but when a first message is just one syllable and dick pic from a profile that has nothing of any substance on it, should we accept that it’s ok? - that’s not how anyone would introduce themselves in real life - or even in a swingers club. So why would it be acceptable here? What would be interesting would be to know the thought process behind the guys sending them. | |||

"I do find it comical women get so offended by the very thing they are actually looking for. " For us, it's not the dick pic itself. It's the insult that the sender has the opinion of us that we think the most important thing when deciding on who to meet, is their dick. | |||

Do you not think that’s a tad ironic & hypocritical given your profile pic is a dick being held? | |||

"Do you not think that’s a tad ironic & hypocritical given your profile pic is a dick being held?" No. Because it's not a pic OF a dick, it's a pic of US, illustrating our dynamic. But for your purposes of being argumentive, you can see it as a dick pic if you want. | |||

"that’s not how anyone would introduce themselves in real life - or even in a swingers club. So why would it be acceptable here?" No-one is saying that you have to accept it. It's entirely reasonable for you to block and delete in this case. The question is whether Fab needs to hold your hand and stop it happening before you even see it. Whatever they do, they won't stop guys being dicks and pestering people with stupid messages. And as someone said, don't these pictures give you a quicker way of spotting whose messages you want to delete? | |||

How would you all feel if you lost Fab because they did not comply & stop cyber flashing on their site? | |||

You find a dick pic offensive as you supposedly don’t want people to think it’s what is most important but your profile pic is a dick & tits pic FFS! Stop with the “illustrating our dynamic bull” You clearly think your tits & dick are what people want to see therefore are most important to you. | |||

"I guess we all like different things! I love a cock pic in my inbox when they are from local men. I'm not a fan of surprises, might as well get it over and done with in the first message Have you ever thought of going into politics lol. Don’t hold back what you think 😂 | |||

" You’re missing the main point we made, the vast majority of the messages we receive like this are from profiles with the bare minimum of information on them. These are not people who are true swingers, these are faceless people who send pictures of a dick and that is cyberflashing, so yes, fab does need to do something about it. | |||

"these are faceless people who send pictures of a dick and that is cyberflashing, so yes, fab does need to do something about it. " But it's not cyberflashing. Read the law - it's only illegal when the intent is there to offend or shock or they're sent for the reason of gaining sexual satisfaction. That simply wouldn't stand up when sent via a site like this. | |||

"That’s an interesting viewpoint, what would you suggest their intention is?" We all know that they're either (a) misguided and genuinely think that their dick is important when we think about who to meet or (b) actually getting their rocks off by knowing people are seeing their dick. Unfortunately it's only (b) that turns it into an actual crime and it's impossible to prove. | |||

"There is a very simple solution to this and its to use your filters that the site provides and block men from messaging you .And actually go search for men that interest you and contact them . Expecting fab to change to suit you is naive at best. Especially when there is a solution there for you, it juat means you have to make an effort and search and make first contact. " | |||
