The male “nudity” in Minx

His looks are OK (by Hollywood standards), but if that third leg were real then he'd be a "10" by various criteria.

Looks real to me.

Why is he circumcised?

R2 prefers not to have his fantasies shattered.

How do you know it's fake? Did they say so. They usually do.

Never mind. I found an article where he stated it's fake. I don't get it. What's the point? He says something like "It's about time we embrace male nudity," but then he proceeds to use a prosthetic?

Here he is.

Minx, Euphoria, the revival of Take Me Out. 2022 is a golden age of male nudity.

More like "The Golden Age of Plastic"

The cock might be fake but that is a bush of glory.

R10 Ratty Korean Wig Alert!

Clearly prosthetic. Boo.

SO. FUCKING. LAME. Now I'm not watching. This century is just fake as fuck. And it's only gonna get worse. Meta verse anyone? Anyone?...

Supposedly there is a cavalcade of penises in a scene in Minx where the men are auditioning for the modeling gig. Something like 20 guys nude - forgot where I'd read that

Just like the locker scene in EUPHORIA. 🙄 Booooring.

Y’all are desperate to see a daggone penis. Grow up

Correct -- and they're the real thing, not prosthetics.

And that was the best part of Euphoria, r15.

R10, that "bush" is fake as fuck. It's part of the prosthetic. It's an outfit over the guy's real cock and bush--if that guy even has a real bush.

The show was cute.

As anyone who owns a real penis knows, they have a mind of their own in terms of appearance and cannot be counted as always dependable to present themselves in the most flattering fashion in every situation.

This is a low budget TV show and they can't afford to wait around for a real penis to decide to be perfectly presentable at a moment's notice - especially with unknown conditions such as weather temperature, stress, etc.

Unlike women's tits, R21, which can always be depended on to hit their marks and look camera-ready, no matter what the conditions.

Give the boy a foreskin, goddammit!

Nothing on HBO is "low budget" R21

r24 well, some would argue the salaries are

HE? You think this actor said, I'll take the job but I must wear a prosthetic? It was never his decision plus obviously the model he is playing is hung. This guarantees it.

Uh, why not just hire some big dicked porn actors?

Unlike the olden days, a lot of the guys doing porn can actually deliver lines and give decent acting performances.

R6, terrible interview. Both of them are dribbling along....boring!

[quote]Both of them are dribbling

Pics please.

^ not that kind of dribble silly!!

Playgirl, the magazine this show is based on, wasn't about big dicks, it was about sexy bodies and a sexy attitude, which this show does not have.

I saw some girls comment about how it's unfair men can use prosthetics and women can't when it comes to nudity. They're actually right for once.

They're actually women, and to say they're right for once is as insulting as saying "gay boys" can be right once or twice. Apart from that, these women are exactly right, R32. And the reason behind prosthetics is the idea that too many real dicks will put an audience off. There's still a double standard in all this.

Yes. The audience for ongoing real frontal male nudity is very small and dwarfs the number who are repelled by it.

R34, first, it isn't a very smal audiencel, it's only assumed by straight men that it is. Second, this show is supposedly catering to those who are not repelled by it. By the way, there were a lot of real, flopping dicks in "Oz." Where was the repulsion with that?

Women hardly ever show their labia if their pussies are unshaven.

[quote]The audience for ongoing real frontal male nudity is very small and dwarfs the number who are repelled by it.

This statement doesn't make sense. How could a very small thing dwarf something?

R35, Oz presented penis to underscore the horror and freakiness of prison. It was still offputting to many

R37, for a show that featured plentiful male nudity you claim was "offputting to many," it ran for several years. So, bullshit.

[quote]It was still offputting to many

To whom? Where's the research study?

[quote]A penis is grandiose when I have a saporous reaction.

Oh shut up, LadyG.

[quote]And the reason behind prosthetics is the idea that too many real dicks will put an audience off.

Why would fake dicks be less off-putting than real ones? Especially when the fake ones tend to be bigger? I'd wager that most viewers can't distinguish between real and fake, anyway.

Bingo R41

Even the homosexuals on Datalounge are debating it.

The idea is both uniformity in size and also it is easier to get male actors to agree to do nudity if it it not their actual dick. There's still something of a stigma about that and actors, who are almost all massively insecure about their looks to begin with, do not want to be labeled as having a small dick.

For those who can tell the (obvious) differences, prosthetics provides something to laugh at and not feel threatened by.

Seems silly and ridiculous. I wonder if it has to do with avoiding future claims of sexual harassment, with guys claiming abuse of the set because they had to fluff their dicks for a scene.

No, R44, not at all. Prosthetics are used, unfortunately, all the time and it's not because of any future sexual abuse claims.

The shaft looks smoothly plastic and is without any "character." It looks sort of like a dog toy.

Just thought I'd use this thread as an excuse to post this.

George Basil, 100% real.

NYT has the story, maybe paywalled but there's always an entree

This is what we want to see.

Or this.

This show is pretending that WOMEN are the demo for a magazine in the '70s full of naked dicks?

So stupid.

Just like the actual magazine did, R51. In the early days of Playgirl, that was maybe the case that women were the demographic, but that quickly changed.

I kind of appreciate that it would be hard (pun intended) to film a guy with his own cock - most guys are not hugely visible when flaccid - not what a camera needs to capture, anyway.

It is a very exact place for a non-porn film where a "fluffed" cock would need to be - hard enough to be more visible but not achingly hard, ready to cum. And then factor in other performers and professionals watching......that would be a lot. Easier to fake it. But yes, fakes are always at a weird angle.

It's bullshit and it's weak. NO FAKE COCKS! ✊🚀

One of the things that likely puts actors off showing their real junk is that within seconds the photos are splashed all over the internet for all to see forevermore. I remember when Chris Pine had a full frontal scene in Outlaw King (?) discussion of his penis superseded discussion of the actual film, and even became a key part of interviews.

Exactly, it was called the sexual revolution of the 70's. I can promise you Playgirl did not come into existence with gay boys in mind.

R49 /50 I never want to see that. Shave men are not sexy.

R52 viewers are aware that cocks change in the temperature. We do not need fake cocks.

R55 My Aunt Mary worked for Playgirl, gay men were never on their minds. It took about 6 years before they realized their true demographic.

AND as far as the casting process. They NEVER looked at the men's dicks in casting session. They guys took their shirts off and if it seemed good they would schedule them for a trial shoot to see how they filmed, all men were paid for the trial shoots. The lucky ones got to be a centerfold.

[quote]viewers are aware that cocks change in the temperature.

They certainly don't know that here.

Ahem?

R58 it is true that a percentage of our demographic is dumber than dirt but most are able to figure it out.

Don't they make uncut penis prosthetics as nature intended?

As for the show itself....

I like it.

It's cute.

So. Fake. Boring show. They show penis like crazy in montages. Then it’s boring

A penis montage? Well, I never . . .

And you never will.

[quote] They show penis like crazy in montages. Then it’s boring

Maybe you just need to stick to PornHub, hun.

This is not a porn. I’m so sick of people who think a TV SHOW (even if it’s about porn) is supposed to be actual porn. Grow up.

Love love love it. Can't wait for the next episode.

While NF shills are so mortified that their network has only shitshows to present and still has the audacity to raise the price.

"This is not a porn."

Oh, dear, R67.

No one thinks the show is supposed to be porn, stupid.

R2 has clearly never seen a penis in real life if you couldn't immediately tell that was fake. Yikes.

it's great until the stink-fish enter

There's a shower scene in episode 4

More plastic than a Barbie factory.

Did the fake dicks start to melt in the steam?

The show is boring. I'm not gonna make it to Ep 4, I don't think.

He's no Jacob Elordi.

It's fascinating how American TV and movies treat male nudity. If this were a British or mainland European show. There would be dicks. And they would be real.

It's naked guys with dicks on screen. Who cares if they're fake?

When wearing fake dicks, where do the actors’ actual dicks go?

I believe real dicks can be used when it's a quick shot like from an extra and there is no need for obsessing about continuity. If the focus is on a naked male actor for the entire scene, continuity (dick getting bigger or smaller drawing the focus away from the actual performance in the scene) could be an issue (as is the level of discomfort of the actor being nude and expressing certain emotions during the scene while feeling vulnerable or afraid of getting hard) when several takes are filmed and the editor has to cut whatever he needs from the individual take.

Nonsense. Actors do long nude scenes on stage. What's the difference? They have robes for when "cut!" is said.

r81, IMO stage performances are different, because they don't require several takes of the same performance. It's more about continuity than it's about the actor's personal comfort level.

Personal comfort? Stage actors have a whole audience watching them. These prosthetics are purely about actors who are insecure about their dick size.

The main guy wears a fake dick because his dick is supposed to be all perfect, its part of the plot. All the extras so far have shown their real dicks.

[quote] If the focus is on a naked male actor for the entire scene, continuity (dick getting

You're overthinking it.

Unless the penis has to be erect, urinating, is super big or super small then there's no reason for an actor to wear a prosthetic other than they or the production not wanting to show their actual penis.

It costs productions money to make fake dicks and time to make them look good on the actor and blend in. They won't just give them to anyone when the real thing is easier, faster and cheaper to shoot.

It’s so stupid. Like the girl from Glow with a dash of Liz Lemon.

I'm surprised they didn't hire a good actor with a naturally large bush (such as in Playgirl 70s and 80s) who wouldn't need a prosthetic cock or bush for the role. Was dick size really that meaningful in the 70s? Take a look here at actor and Playgirl centerfold Tony Contrelle. How many women and gay men wouldn't be willing to entertain him?

I wonder how much the prop dicks will fetch from Hollywood prop collectors?

or maybe actor, GQ model and Playgirl centerfold Bart Turner?

If this were a European production or had non-American actors the frontal would have been real.

Last example Rock Pamplin.

[quote]When wearing fake dicks, where do the actors’ actual dicks go?

To Heaven, Rose.

R87. Playgirl centerfold Antonio Contrelle (July 1981) was my all-time favorite. Handsome, sexy and beautiful intact cock. He was voted Playgirl's Man of the Year in January 1982.

Just saw the first episode. There were a LOT of cocks in it. Most of them seemed real, but the guy they picked was definitely wearing a prosthetic (as discussed here in this and other threads).

The characters are interesting. The hottest guy, to me, is the publisher dude. The firefighter dude looks like he has scurvy.

The hottest guy in the first episode was the construction worker with the vpl and the sassy comebacks.

Let us see if the football player has a real cock or a piece of fake looking plastic.

Could someone explain how they get prosthetic penises to "adhere" or otherwise remain attached?

R97 Glue.

Are they using real actors for the legit nude scenes or are they using "performers"?

Could someone explain how they get prosthetic penises to "adhere" or otherwise remain attached?

The CGI out the thong and add pubes.

R100 is one example but there are others attached with a latex. Gross really.

Real dicks only please or artful editing.

All full frontal nude roles should be filled by Aaron Taylor's Johnson.

Renewed

Aww canceled. Again.

STARS cancelled the only two shows I watched.

sigh

R105 Shining Vale too?

Yep, R106

I’m sorry 107 :(
