Girlfriend accidentally humiliated me in front of her friends

r/

This is one of those moments that hits you straight in the gut and makes you cringe for years.

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were hanging out after I got out of the shower. It was freezing in the apartment, and I made a comment about how cold I was. She glanced down, laughed, and said, “Wow… that’s crazy. I can’t believe how small it can get!” I looked too, and yeah, it honestly did look ridiculous. I’m not the biggest down there anyways, but most of all I’m a grower. If you don’t know what that looks like in extreme cases, just imagine an acorn sitting on top of your balls, barely over an inch (sorry to be graphic, but you need to know how embarrassing this looked).

After laughing a bit at the situation, she asked if she could take a picture. We both have secret photo vault apps where we keep each other’s nudes, so I was fine with it as long as we followed our usual routine: move the photo to the vault immediately, delete it from the main camera roll, then clear it from “Recently Deleted.”

She took a couple of pictures from different angles and lighting, giggling at the absurdity (I know this might sound immature, but we do have an immature sense of humor and just thought it was a silly moment). After that, I specifically remember saying, “Alright, seriously, delete those now.” I watched her go through all the necessary steps of moving and deleting all the pictures and was sure that would be the end of it.

A few days later we went on a weekend trip to Traverse City. We visited wineries, went on hikes, and took a charter out on a boat into Lake Michigan. It was a great trip, and we had a bunch of pictures from it. The weekend after we got back, she had two of her friends over and was showing them photos from the weekend. At one point, my girlfriend handed them the phone to keep scrolling through pictures as she went to grab a drink from the fridge.

I was sitting across the room as I watched the two girls sitting next to each other on the couch, scrolling through pictures one by one. The next moment will probably be burned into my memory forever—one more swipe, and I saw both girls’ eyes widen. They looked at each other for a moment, then put their hands to their mouths as they started laughing super hard. I was a bit confused at first until their eyes met mine, and my heart dropped.

My girlfriend was just walking up behind them and quickly said, “Wait—give me that,” and snatched the phone out of their hands. Her face went pale. “Oh my god, I thought I deleted that,” she muttered as she was tapping at her screen, now actually deleting it.

One of them said, “I’m so sorry, we didn’t mean to see that,” and the other added “We just kept scrolling, we didn’t know.” But I could tell they were still holding back laughter, glancing at each other. I just sat there, completely frozen. My face felt red hot.

My girlfriend sat down next to me clearly upset. Before either of us could say anything, one of her friends awkwardly changed the subject. I don’t even remember what they said exactly, but something about the trip which elevated the tension just enough until I ended up grabbing a beer and heading to our bedroom until they left.

After her friends left, my girlfriend came straight up to the bedroom apologizing profusly. I initially started yelling, but could quickly see how sorry she felt as she buried her face in her hands crying. I know this might sound like a BS way for her to get herself out of my justified anger, but at the end of the day I love her and know she didn’t mean for this to happen.

I wrapped my arm around her, pulled her in, and told her it was okay. She cried for a few minutes while I told her it wasn’t a big deal and I’d be fine. I decided to just man up and push through the embarrassment, what else can you do? Only thing I can hope is that image doesn’t stay burned in their memory whenever I see them in the future.

    In full transparency – I originally shared this on a smaller male centered subreddit a few days ago. My girlfriend follows this podcast and wanted to get some feedback here too.

    Never trust anyone with nudes.

    Own it but make sure she’s also “careless” with one of all your might, fully erect! Maybe have her mention how she’s too exhausted and sore from your love making next time they ask to go out together! Lol great!

    One time when my boyfriend and I first started living together we were going to take a shower together and while we were both naked waiting for the water to warm up, he got COLD and I watched his dick shrink in on itself and started laughing and pointing. About 5 seconds later I realized how that could’ve looked to him. He was a good sport once I explained myself but MANNNN did I feel bad for a while after that

  7. Quick_Amount3179 Avatar

    I’d say that is not as big of a deal as it feels like it is. I’m sure she will explain the context to them, I also promise you when you guys hooked up the first few times they talked about EVERYTHING so your rep was already safe and established with her girl group.
    It is only as awkward as you allow it to be. Act normal next time yall see each other and after 15 heavy minutes or so things will fall back into their normal pace.

    It was clearly an accident, but I’d only allow her to take nudes of you on your own phone. You’re valid in being upset, but she’s probably embarrassed as well. If she doesn’t make a habit of embarrassing you, best to just move on and learn from it for the future.

  9. WhatTheActualHell_52 Avatar

    You have no choice to own this as the story will make the rounds in the friend group.

    Seems like an simple case of being careless, forgive but never trust again with pictures.

    This is toughhhh. Just remember anatomy is anatomy and it was hella cold and what you originally referred to as a silly moment. I like your way of just taking it on the chin and moving on. I might ask your gf if u can go through her photos tho to ensure any other nudes are where they’re supposed to be 🫣

    I wouldn’t let it get to you. Odds are they’ve seen the same kind of thing with guys they’ve known themselves. It’s just a funny thing all penises do, it’s not like you’re the only one.

  13. davemich53 Avatar

    Best thing to do would be have her get a pic while you’re hard, then show that to her friends. 😆😆

  14. Consistent-Safe-971 Avatar

    It was a mistake but DELETE that vault have her DELETE that vault, and don’t take/save nude photos/videos. Cmon. You need to be told this in 2025? Now they think she’s with a small dick man.

    You’re gf knowingly did a shitty thing. How would she have felt if you not only laughed at seeing a body part of hers she’s insecure about (even that can be excused as shocked/surprised laughter) but then CHOSE to verbalise it. Then CHOSE to take photos (why did you agree to this at all? I’ll put it down to you being shocked in the moment too). Then scrolled through her photo roll with her friend.

    Let her cry. When she finishes. crying, you MUST have the conversation about how wrong she was for sharing your nudes ánd humiliating you like that. Don’t let the discussion go because she gets upset. She SHOULD be upset.

    She made several decisions that hurt you and people who love and respect you don’t do that. If they do it unintentionally, they take ownership of their behaviour and they do everything they can to comfort YOU, not the other way round.

  17. emsexistential Avatar

    Let this be a learning experience. If nudes are being taken/ exchanged, make sure they’re deleted/ hidden IMMEDIATELY. Or, don’t let her take any at all.

    It makes sense you’re mad, and I bet she’s embarrassed too. As long as this doesn’t happen on like a consistent basis it’s safe to say this was just a really shitty accident.

  18. A1sauce100 Avatar

    Those two girls laughing at you, I would bet at least one has a pooner you’d laugh at if you had a good close up. Her junk isn’t anything special. Don’t let it get to you.

    Have photo vault, does not use… This was not a mistake…

  20. Legitimate_Sink1856 Avatar

    You’re a grower not a show-er. I think most women would be intelligent enough to work that out or at least I would like to imagine so.

    As a woman myself I can’t imagine your discomfort at this but I can say that if I saw that photo I would be more embarrassed about having accidentally invaded your privacy and would never mention it again as it’s not my business.

    Still sorry you had to go through that though. I think it’s awful for anyone to have personal pictures exposed to others.

    Never trust any one with nudes especially her. Make her delete everything in the vault. There must be consequences for stupidity

    This feels like a humiliation kink post, and I’m mad Reddit drug me into it.

  23. oh_such_rhetoric Avatar

    For what it’s worth, it probably wasn’t about your size in particular. I feel like I would react very similarly if I accidentally saw anyone’s nudes, whatever their body looked like.

    The laughter is probably just that uncomfortable human awkward laughter response, and not amusement. And I’m willing to bet it wasn’t anything about what you looked like or even the content of the picture so much as the surprise and the awkwardness.

    That said, you feeling embarrassed and angry and hurt is entirely reasonable regardless of why they were laughing. You thought those photos were private, you thought your girlfriend had deleted them like she said she had. I’m sorry this happened to you!

  24. AggressiveAttempt490 Avatar

    How about not letting anyone take any private embarrassing pictures. There’s a start. This one is on you.

  25. Atomic_Monster_00 Avatar

    I dunno, man. This one’s on you, I think. Don’t want pictures of your penis out in the open? Don’t let anyone store pictures of it on their phone. Seems simple.

  26. goodnatured_golfer Avatar

    it was a mistake & nothing can be done now as far as your girlfriend . But she should talk with her friends & tell them not to disclose what they saw to anyone. No one you are not intimate with needs to know that you have a small flaccid penis.

    I’ve been outed for my small flaccid penis before & it’s humiliating.

  27. half_a_skeleton Avatar

    Honestly, I think it’s funny. I show my wife my dick when it’s all shrunken up because it’s hilarious how much it shrinks. So I’m pretty sure women do know about the whole shrinkage thing at this point. You should be fine, but yeah super embarrassing at the time.

  28. Glittering-Path-2824 Avatar

    as an older person i will NEVER understand younger gen’s fascination with nudes. why? what part of “if it’s electronic it lives forever” is hard to understand?

  29. Hungry_Wheel_1774 Avatar

    “it was a very cold day!!!”

    I’ll never let my girlfriend take a picture in those conditions.
    Only fully erect in summer, standing on a ferrari hood, arms reaching for the stars, making eye contact with the camera, with fireworks in the background and Wagner’s “Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla” as ambiance sound!
    And if the picture is viewed accidentally, it would be a very glorious day!

    This is why you don’t take nudes. How stupid are people. Just don’t take nudes

  32. oldmercdriver Avatar

    They will never forget that shit ever and they will tell all her friend group about it. Your girl handed them the hot gossip of the day. Women seldom forget something humiliating so just remember they both have that on file during your future interactions with them. I recommend a new girlfriend with a little more restraint.

    She loves the acorn, brother.

    You can still love her for an honest mistake.

    Pro tip: don’t let anyone document you at your worst for any reason whatsoever. Not even humor.

    Bonus pro tip: once the heat dies down, your gf goes on the offensive with all her friends about what a generous lover you are and knows how to get her off better than anyone else.

    Chat GPT bullshit by someone with a humiliation kink 🥱

    It is surprising how small it can be become when cold. Especially if you don’t have a dick of your own.

    I had this experience with my partner. I laughed, he laughed and everything was ok.

    But taking a picture of it is dumb. You both learned from it.

    Im a grower too. I just refer to it asy “little thing” like I had no choice in the matter cuz if I did, I would have picked a grower lmao. But im decently sized, above average, so once the blood gets flowing, it’s almost surprising how much different/bigger it looks

    Well, let’s be frank… You’re the dumbass who let her take the photos in the first place. You should have made sure that she followed your ” process”. But since you didn’t stop whining on the internet about your tiny winnie…

    Never give someone your phone. Some will scroll because they don’t think about it, some will scroll because they are snooping. Your girlfriends friends are first class jerks.

    Dude, it was an accident. You said it was okay for her to take the picture, and yea she should’ve deleted it. But to yell at her for an accident she was clearly sorry for? Jeez

    I’m happy with my situation. I am not huge, not small. Sometimes out of the shower with warm water I feel I am king shit. Sometimes I take down my drawers and I literally laugh at myself and wish someone was there to see the pathetic sight I see. My wife has. She is even amazed and she loves it usually. A guys dick can be less than an inch at one moment soft and then hanging down inches a few mins later. It is what it is.

    Hey op,

    Honestly! That’s cool you have a partner who enjoys your jr in any shape or form.

    As per the embarrassment part, I’m sure it sucks being exposed but sometimes mistakes happen

    One one my daughter was in my cousins room and her phone fell under the bed and it was after a party and it was dark so when I went looking and just kind of put my arm under there I pulled some stuff out that I wish to god I could just erase from my mind lol

    I swear I jumped up so quickly I can’t even remember pushing it all back in..

    When my cousin came in I had told her what happened about the phone falling and I told her to not even worry about it. I’ll find it another day but she tried looking for it anyways.

    I felt my eyes wide open lol

    But as a mature adult I know everyone has their kinks and stuff and it’s none of my damn business lol

    Doesn’t make me think any other way

    If those girls are mature they’ll shut the hell ip about it and just act normal lol

    So moral of my story, sometimes things come out but everyone’s doing something kinky and it’s okay..

    Good luck op
