How prosthetic penises in shows like HBOs Minx reinforce existing stereotypes and taboos

Publish date: 2024-05-04

This seems like DL catnip.

[quote] Eric Dane and Jacob Elordi are two of many actors in “Euphoria” who purportedly wore prosthetic penises even as they implied that they’ve broken the taboo of showing penises.

Entertainment Weekly recently published an interview with actor Taylor Zakhar Perez, teasing the piece with a headline about Perez “baring it all” as a nude model for a 1970s magazine centerfold in the first episode in HBO Max’s “scandalous” new show, “Minx.”

The real scandal, in my view, is not the promised nudity but the way it’s misrepresented. Perez never actually appears fully nude in that episode. He wears a prosthetic penis.

As prosthetic penises have become more common in film and on TV, I’ve watched publications eagerly document the trend with cheeky headlines: “The power of the dong: The year the penis was unleashed in Hollywood,” “How the Sausage Gets Made: Inside Hollywood’s Prosthetic Penis Craze” and “Welcome to the year of the cock.”

In which episode of Euphoria did Jacob Elordi's penis (fake or otherwise) appear? I don't recall it. TIA.

R5 there is a scene when Dane's character pisses all over the foyer and then stands for awhile with his (fake) dong hanging out.

There is no scene that I remember where Elordi's dick is out... just a few ass shots.

With penis lengthening and girth enhancement procedures available, just go get a bigger cock.

I love Minx, it's extremely well made and realistically funny but the prosthetic cocks, especially the one of the "Greek god", are just tragic. The dark haired guy's was believable enough in most shots but the Greek god's just looks fake almost all the time. It's funny they decided to have big-dicked guys as models in the magazine since judging by the pics from Playgirls and such from the 70s most models had normal-sized cocks.

I'm not going to read the article. I'm assuming it's about how showing dicks isn't progressive if every single dick is fake and six inches flaccid because normal sized dicks aren't "good enough"?

They always look so fake. Like a hairy plunger glued over a guy's package.
