A woman says she was left utterly disgusted after her long-time male pal sent her an “unsolicited d*** pic” during the early hours recently.
Taking to Mumsnet, she revealed she had been close to the 51-year old bloke for many years, which only added to the shock factor. She posted in the Relationships forum: “I woke up to it Sunday morning via WhatsApp. He’d sent it around 4am with a comment that said, ‘You’re so wrong… but so right! ‘EWWW!'”
The woman went on to say that despite him having some “substance abuse” problems, it doesn’t give him a free pass for his lewd behaviour. “I haven’t replied and from my side the friendship is over,” she fumed. “I would never feel safe around him again. I feel sickened and violated.”

She reckons it won’t be long before their mates twig there’s trouble brewing, since they often spend time together at the “creepoid” chap’s pad. “Would you tell them the truth if they ask questions regarding my absence?” she quizzed the Mumsnet crowd.

The woman added: “I’m aware that unsolicited D pics are prevalent from online strangers these days unfortunately, but has anyone received one from a long-standing male friend? How did you respond? What was the outcome?”
In a surprise twist, dozens of women came out to express that it could have all been a “drunken mistake” and urged the woman to let him explain. “I would assume it was a drunken error, to be honest,” one woman confessed. “A fairly repellent one, admittedly, but would assume it was intended for someone else. Has he deleted it and apologised?”
Another chimed in: “The comment that accompanied the photo seems odd. Was there prior context to it or could he have intended to send it to someone else and you got it in error? If the latter, it’s still pretty gross that a man of his age thinks that sending unsolicited d**k pics is acceptable (especially as I believe it’s now a criminal offence).”
And a third added: “If he’s a friend do you not feel you want to at least give him a chance to explain? It could have been a drunken error ie sent to you instead of the person next to you on contacts list? If it was for you (weird message if it was) then you’re perfectly entitled to drop him and don’t owe an explanation.”
But the woman wasn’t having any of it and clapped back on her post: “I have no doubt it was intended for me. I believe the comment is in reference to a discussion we had several days prior about a casual relationship I’m involved in.”
She added: “He was shocked that women could be so open about pursuing a relationship purely on a casual basis. I believe he’s taken this as sign that I’m open to this sort of thing. I’ve always made it explicitly clear to him that I am in no way interested in anything other than friendship from him.”
