Why aren’t penis pics ever good?

Madeleine Holden has more than 4 000 penis pics in her inbox. No, it’s not a bad dream – she asked for them, through her site Critique My Dick Pic. Men send images seeking feedback and she delivers.

What do women want to see in a penis pic? More than one body part for starters, preferably in a clean setting, a narrative. It doesn’t have to be complex, but it should be more thoughtful than a penis in a hot dog bun (I’ve seen it!).

Why did you start the site? After receiving the first ever good pic, I realised I’d never been happy to get one before. I joked that there should be a public service telling men what they’re doing wrong and made the site that afternoon. It blew up.

What did you learn from it? Men also have body insecurities, in addition to the concern about size. Often men send their exact measurements. They overthink it.

Your response to a good pic? Use a string of heart-eye emojis.
