I think if I knew a guy was masturbating to a picture of me, I’d be flattered—up to a point. It’s nice to feel desired, and if we had a good connection, I might see it as an expression of how attracted he is to me. However, the situation changes if it feels like it’s happening without my knowledge or consent. It could easily feel objectifying if I didn’t know about it or if it wasn’t something we had discussed openly. In that case, I could see how it might feel gross or uncomfortable.
I think part of the reason this topic feels so complicated is because everyone has different boundaries when it comes to their bodies and their privacy. Some women might feel more comfortable with the idea of being the subject of someone’s fantasies, while others might find it violating or inappropriate. I think context matters a lot—if we’re in a relationship, and there’s a sense of trust, it’s probably easier to feel okay about these things. But if it’s just someone I don’t know well, or if they’re using photos without asking, that would feel more invasive.
I also wonder how the dynamics change in the digital age. Social media and apps have blurred the lines between what’s public and private. It’s easy for people to assume that just because you put something out there, it’s fair game for anyone to use, but that’s not the case. Just because someone’s attracted to you doesn’t mean they have the right to cross boundaries, and it’s important for both men and women to understand that. Consent should always be a priority.
Ultimately, the answer really depends on how well you know the person, your relationship with them, and how respectful they are of your boundaries. There’s a fine line between feeling flattered and feeling violated, and it’s important to navigate that carefully. If both parties are in tune with each other’s needs and limits, this could be something that’s enjoyable. But if one person feels uncomfortable, it can quickly turn into something unpleasant.
