Americans always freak out about this type of stuff though!
Finally watched the episode. I definitely think its prosthetic. But all the power to Alex if it is indeed his. Haha!

I'm pretty sure it's a prosthetic, not because of the erection issues, but because I don't think he'd like to put it in harm's way.
Also, he's shown the real one before, why is 'omg a penis!' still a thing?
Because you guys invented a new rule for live television because you saw Janet Jackson's nipples. You clearly are not used to nude body parts.
Most mature people will know it's a prosthesis. And most mature people will still focus on his acting. And most people, period, will stop focusing on this after next week's exciting finale.
Besides, I don't think he equates his penis with a need for privacy since we already saw it on TB.
But the pressing question is whether it was true to life. After all, it wasn't circumcised.

Game of Thrones shows male full frontal in practically half their episodes, so that's not the issue. It's obviously not real, but it is funny that everyone gets all excited, I missed that with the lighting when I first saw the episode. Bag, we only pretend people don't have any genitalia on network TV. On cable, they can be real humans

Speaking about all things penile
(on topic/off topic) I saw Puppetry of the Penis a while back, not laughed so much (or taken so many notes) in ages. Mr Moo was very surprised when I got home and told him I wanted to make a 'hamburger'.....google it, you won't be disappointed
Wasn't the GP on BLL......I've studied pics extensively.....in the name of healthy research, of course

It wasn't just Americans though, the Brit rags also got all aflutter over it.
I think the sites and viewers that had been taking the show seriously didn't get bothered by it, they were focused on the the context. And many didn't even see it on initial viewing.

Apparently Girls had some fake full frontal this season as well. But some reason it's the SkarsPeen-fake or not-that gets the attention. Add it to the list of things that he needs to be interviewed about concerning BLL: Alex, why do people pay so much attention to your penis, fake or otherwise?
Sorry to butt in... haven't seen the episode yet but was the scene well acted? Don't know what this says about me but I'm so used to seeing naked males and females in the movies and shows I watch that I don't even notice it (I watch a lot of art house movies before you get the wrong idea)... the only thing I find jarring is if you can tell the actors are uncomfortable. I always feel for the actors who have to perform the scene but from the Big Little Lies episodes I've seen Skarsgard and Kidman are pretty fearless.
There was a movie years ago... I think it's called Intimacy... with Mark Rylance... where they went pretty far, there was erect penis (from Mr Rylance), brief fellatio (from Kerry Fox to Mr Rylance) etc. It was an art film and Mark Rylance is a highly regarded actor but I think the actress (Kerry Fox) got quite a bit of flack for it.
And there was that controversial HBO show years ago... Tell me you love me... wasn't there a scene with Ian Somerhalder which looked so real people assumed it was real. They kept telling people it wasn't real but I don't know that people believed them.

In my opinion the scene was well acted. The penis is only scene for two seconds at the most. They didn't look uncomfortable. Nicole is supposed to look apprehensive and on edge but that's what her character is doing.
LoL Pretty sure everyone was freaking out all over the world. A lot of Americans watch Spartacus and Game of Thrones both of which show a lot of nudity. True blood had a lot of nudity as well. There was a sex scene like every other episode. Americans didn't freak out for any of those. Everyone did freak out when Alex first went nude so I think Alex just seems to have that certain something that makes people freak out.
Hahah! Valid point. Then maybe it's just Alex and his member who are capable of creating such a buzz
I definitely think it is. I am American and see nakedness as no big deal maybe I was raised differently than other Americans because a lot of them are very prudish usually but oh my god when that man gets naked to even somewhat naked... I am not going to lie I freak out. He just has that certain something.Hahah! Valid point. Then maybe it's just Alex and his member who are capable of creating such a buzz
I know what you mean, girl!
Intimacy is similar to 9 Songs or Lie With Me which I've seen. You get used to it and take it as part of the story.
It was the same with Boogie Nights. I was highly disappointed to later find out this was a prosthetic especially with Mark's reputation in the 90s I'd expected him to do the real thing.

Bag, I was devastated when I realised it wasn't Marky Marks funky bunch on the screen...
I know what you mean! I gasped when I saw that scene. Mainly because I wasn't expecting it but also because that was crazy haha!I definitely think it is.
