I didn’t. I mean, I saw that the actor was naked, I saw his dick, I just didn’t pay it much attention. I am honestly mystified as to why people are commenting on it so much.
I mean, I have a penis… about half of the world’s population does and I’d guess most of the other half has seen at the very least one (I’m pretty sure most people, of either sex, have seen a few). It wasn’t even all that easy to see, what with it being blue and with the eerie glow and all. I’d honestly thought I’d notice it more, seeing as the huge majority of the reviews I’d read prior to watching the movie went on and on about it, but when the movie was on I had other stuff to look at.
I do understand that male nudity is not as common in the pictures as female, but honestly, it wasn’t that remarkable! I’m not trying to be facetious, really, but during the picture it just wasn’t something that distracted me in the least and I’m having a hard time understanding why it did to so many others.
It is kind of funny that he goes from being a regular man to being an entity of near omnipotence, and the first thing he does with all that power is give himself a bigger crank. Still a total guy, deep down.
If it was a female, don’t think she wouldn’t give herself a little enhancement or a few nips and tucks here and there. I doubt any woman would be reconstituting any cellulite.
I figured since he gave himself huge, cut muscles, he figured, “shit, why not just go whole hog?”
Thank god he was hairless.
Honestly, there was a moment where I thought, Oh damn, there’s his dick, right there. Then they kept showing it, and I thought the unabashed way they unavoided it was refreshing. But still, it was kind of weird if you dwelled on it, even slightly.
Am I crazy, or did I see him in a banana hammock in a few early scenes? Also, If I were hanging around him, I would have told him being blue and omnipotent is cool and all, but is showing a little common decency really all that difficult. Shit, even a pair of boxers (with little hydrogen symbols all over them)…
I paid especially close attention. While there was definitely a bulge at the end, it looked very much to me that it was covered in an extra layer of skin. Uncircumcised penises are not just cylinders - they still have a helmet, it’s just covered. This smoothes things out somewhat in appearance, but they don’t flatten the head.
Again, having played close attention, this time in real life, I can testify to the fact that there are plenty of guys who without arousal naturally have a bit of swing to them. The difference is that in their case, when they get hard they don’t tend to gain much length past what they already have soft.
I too doubt that was the original size. But the illusion of greatness (and high mountedness) was undoubtedly enhanced by the fact that he has no pubic hair which has the well known effect of making things look a little longer.
I was debating with someone whether the penis was more obtrusive in the movie or the comic and went back to take a look and was surprised by this too. I had thought it was flying free the whole time and hadn’t remembered that the first few issues played the Austin Powers game.
Band name! Hi! I play bass in the Prominent Blue Wang. Can I buy you a drink?
I thought it was great timing that I saw the Eek, a Penis! episode of South Park last night, and now I find the Blue Penis thread here.
On the cut/uncut issue, I’d like to point out that some uncirc men just keep the foreskin pulled back in flaccidity. It keeps the “aardvark’s nose” from getting stretched to cracking upon turgidity.:eek: Some folks find pain during sex to be delightful, but for most of us, it’s a distraction.
Not surprisingly given Jon Stewart’s giddy juvenileness, he and Billy Crudup had a field day with Dr. Manhattan’s penis when Crudup went on The Daily Show to promote the film.
