Show Me Your Dick – A Lifetime of Dating in a Larger Body (in LA)

A solo show exploring the trials and tribulations of dating while being fat. Told through unsolicited dick pics and gross messages from men online. Yes, you will be seeing dicks.

Fun fact, in my 15+ years of dating, I have received over 90 unsolicited dick pics — HOW COULD THIS BE? My whole life has been plagued by men wanting me to see their dicks or hear about their dicks without my permission. They were desperate to sexualize me but not date me. Maybe my face doesn’t necessarily say “show me your dick” but my body says “please disrespect me because you think less of me than you do of thin, conventionally attractive women.”

There is an actual science behind sending unsolicited dick pics, and typically it’s a way for men to exert their power over the recipient; especially when the recipient is in a body that society deems as “unattractive”. But also, did you know that BBW (big beautiful women, aka ME) is the most searched category on Pornhub; yet society says fat women are less than and their bodies are wrong. So, is it really a surprise that me as a fat woman gets more unsolicited dick pics than my conventionally attractive female counterparts? NOPE!
