We have speculated on it and it turns out most of the dicks even in Spartacus were fake.

I think it is very wrong that like porn even hollywood films give us a false sense of what size should be.

Bring on the tiny meat.

It's all fake.

All the way back in 2001, Gael Garcia Bernal said they wore prosthetic dicks for the nude scenes in Y Tu Mama Tambien, which was supposed to be this huge new watershed for male frontal nudity.

I have been told I have the biggest teenytoadstool, very beautiful, very cinematic.

Great article OP. I tried to start a thread on this very topic a little bit ago. Getting ready for work so I couldn’t finish the article and I’ll be back later to comment, I’m interested in DLs thoughts on this!

I remember the one at R5...it did not even look real.

How dare you, R6! That dong is as real as my hairline!

If I were an actor, I would never show my real dick. Unless it's huge (and mine is pretty average), people are going to snicker at the size of your dick.

I'd have no problem showing ass, though.

When KINSEY came out and we all saw Peter Sarsgaard's small peter, I remember thinking at the time that he was very brave to go full frontal. He's said in interviews that he grew up in a liberal house and nudity was no big deal. Liam Neeson OTOH has a huge dick

[quote] When asked to explain why he so frequently appears in the buff, Sarsgaard explained that he just doesn’t understand how some actors are always wearing boxers after sex, or walking around with a comforter covering their bodies. He then went on to talk about filming a nude scene with the very well-endowed Liam Neeson, a man model Janice Dickinson once described by saying; “He unzipped his pants and an Evian bottle fell out.”

If you have to strap on a fake dick, then what’s there to begin with—nothing? A vagina? Wouldn’t that simply mean you now have two dicks? Wouldn’t that look odd?

They either tuck their candy or the real penis goes inside the fake. Which suggests Mark Wahlberg has a pencil dick, not that there's anything wrong with that.

We've certainly had advances in prosthetic pecker technology since then!

On the audio commentary for THE PLAYER, Robert Altman talks about wanting Tim Robbins' character to wear a prosthetic foreskin in the scene where he climbs out of the mud bath. One presumes they subtly wanted to make it known he wasn't Jewish.

Personally, I couldn't tell one way or the other

Michael Fassbender in Shame. Real or fake?

R1 Yeah I think you're talking about an 'interview' with Diego Luna, not Gael, with Sensacine in Mexico where he's talking about putting a partial condom on for one shot to appear circumcised and even that sounds like it didn't work right. The subtext (not discussed) is that his character is very rich and low-key Jewish; there are a lot of very rich Jews in Mexico City. Vaguely anti-semitic? You decide!

Anyway, the d in that movie is basically real bc even though they had a fairly healthy budget for Mexico (but nothing for the US) in 2001... if I'm producing that movie and the director wants me to spend money on prosthetic dick you can believe I want that money to show up on screen and, well...

I mean, you've seen the nudity we're talking about here, right? Love 'em both but it's normal dick.

Besides that, the interview ran nowhere else, at least in Spanish, and the site that ran it also managed to get Alfonso Cuarón's name wrong (way after he had made it big) and swapped in his brother's name, so... You decide!

I wish they would go with realism.

And yes...I hear that Shame as fake as well.

The Spartacus situation was well known at the time, publications like EW wrote about it. As far as I remember, the actors could choose to use a prosthetic if they wanted to. Some did, and some didn’t.

I never needed a fake one.

German actor, Marco Hofschneider in "Europa, Europa" played a Jew hiding in plain sight from the Nazis had to wear a circumcised prosthetic for realism. The actor wasn't prepared to undergo a real circumcision for his art.

John Hamm’s hammaconda. He knew what he was doing and delighted in it. I knew a couple of guys who were older and huge and they were always trying to disguise it. One guy could never wear a bathing suit

What are you talking about R20 Hamm has never done a nude scene.

What about Altered Carbon? I was kinda embarrassed for James Purefoy because I thought he overfluffed. But maybe it was a weird prosthetic.

R22 I know nothing about it.

James Purefoy's dick in question

Time for some research. Up close and in depth.

Looks like a bad pubic haircut and a woody.

Is Purefoy's real or fake there?

The boobs you think you saw are also fake.

R27 it appears to be overfluffed.

r10 couldn't Sarsgaard fluff up a bit?

R30 I am glad he did not. We need realistic portrayals.

Good for him for not fluffing.

James Purefoy has done full frontal before (in Rome for instance) and it looks like a match. I doubt it’s a prosthetic.

2020 was the year of the cock! No one can tell me these aren't real :333

[quote] The actor wasn't prepared to undergo a real circumcision for his art.

I bet Christian Bale would have.

Now I want to see The Overnight.

Though it would have been much hotter (and make more sense to me) if it had been Adam Scott with the big one, and Jason Schwartzman with the smaller one.

Ummmm before the show aired it was known they used prosthetics.

And if you are upset male actors aren’t more willing to show dick, blame your love of porn and making porn mainstream. No one wants to show it if they aren’t the size of porn stars, which many think is standard size.

It isn’t.

Visual comparisons for the actual average penis size.

R39 yes. Most men have between 5-6 inches erect. Most porn stars have 8 inches and up, and that’s not counting girth.

People think those large and XL penises they see in porn are what is standard and average, so an actor showing his normal sized penis will only get him mocked and scrutinized on the internet.

Even Ewan McGregor's dick?!🥺

I'd have no problem showing my dick in a film, but I'd hate to make the other actor feel less-than.
