We also found that due to sexual double standards girls were not able to leverage dick pics for status in the same way boys can use girls' nudes as social currency, since girls faced the possibility of being shamed for being known recipients of dick pics. We argue that being bombarded with unwanted dick pics on social media platforms like Snapchat normalises harassing practices as signs of desirability and popularity for girls, but suggest that being sent unsolicited dick pics from boys at school is more difficult for girls to manage or report than ignoring or blocking random older senders. To address this gap we draw upon our findings from a qualitative study using focus group interviews and arts based drawing methods to explore social media image sharing practices with 144 young people aged 11-18 in seven secondary schools in England. However, to date there has been limited research that has explored teen girls' experiences of receiving unwanted penis images in depth.
A range of important studies have recently explored adult women's experiences of receiving unwanted dick pics (Amundsen, 2020).
