a) I refuse to watch this show anymore until they show his dick. Enough with the teasing, HBO.

b) He has chest hair shaved into a six pack. This is so distracting that I have a hard time focusing on the rest of the show. Chest hair. Shaved. Into a six pack.

Thank you for pointing out how depressing this show is! Friends of mine think it's hysterical, but I just find I'm in a funk after watching it.

Why don't they show penis on television? Even on cable? I would feel just a weenie bit vindicated as a woman if they did. I think I will do my bit for Feminism and start a letter-writing campaign to this effect.

@lavendermint: Yeah, I think the joke is actually better if we never see it, because it's whatever we imagine is the perfect dick. I think that if they showed it we would probably be rather unimpressed and it wouldn't be as believable when all the women on the show go crazy over it.

@MizJenkins: Welllll they showed LOTS of penis in the fabulous HBO show "Oz"... I've watched that show all the way through 3 times now, can't even count the number of willies in it. It definitely made me feel vindicated. Unfortunately it ended a few years back... Sigh... Anyway, I recommend it.

@MizJenkins: EXACTLY. But can you imagine the outcry from male actors if their bodies were subjected to the same intense scrutiny as female actors'? If they're anxious about it they can get penis enhancement surgery the same way so many women in Hollywood get breast implants. What's the problem? Fair's fair, boys.

@noisy_doll: Well that's precisely why it's not believable...we all have varying opinions on what the perfect penis might look like, so this show just seems like some stunted 13 year-old's wishful thinking come to life.

Or, if you buy that there are simply some penises that look mighty fine to the majority of women...let's see 'em! Not every man thinks Charlotte Johanssen is perfect but that doesn't stop the star-maker machinery from churning out non-stop images of her in bodice-ripping glory.

I have to say, beautiful but flawed is sexy for only so long. When you're in it, it's damn good, but be prepared for a painful ending.

And big dicks are overrated.

I like this show, but I sometimes don't believe it's written by women. It seems like every man's wet dream: Women throwing themselves at him for his penis—and paying for the privilege. Clients who are almost uniformly gorgeous with perfect bodies. Yeah, right.

@ihateyourescalade: Totally agree. The way his sex appeal is reduced to a big dick - um, no, there is so much more to being a good lover and while dick size matters for compatibility, big isn't always better. And that special TV-dynamic wherein pretty women are alone and desperate for a man. And the way we see more boobies than manflesh. Isn't this show supposed to be appealing to female viewers? Show me some beefcake.

@ihateyourescalade: I dunno, in a lot of ways it's also a very female fantasy... being able to purchase the perfect penis the same way that men pay for women's bodies all the time, having him always be available and always having fulfilling sex with him... sounds good to me. I haven't actually watched the show, mind you. But I do appreciate a good sized penis.

And then I felt very bad about myself.

I think the reason it might be so "hard" to find a suitable actress who can ACT over 35 might be because the roles for younger women are 98% sexy sex-bot clones, and if you're lucky, 2% MPDG. By 35, I would imagine most actresses may stick to theatre, or have gone back to jobs that don't require they fit the cookie-cutter "fuckable" ideal of a small group of producers.

This is somewhat off-topic, but I was reminded of an old film (the name escapes me, as does the plot) where Selma Blair is having sex with a Black actor and he tells her to call him the n-word. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I remember finding it really interesting, the weird power dynamic.

I'm a firm believer that unless you're into beastiality, pedophilia, or fecalphilia...your closed-door lifestyle is fine with me.

Also, the whole prostitution thing sounds so much worse than it is...it's charging people to do something that you usually do for free. It's so odd to me.

And I think male prostitution for straight women is a great idea. Heidi Fleiss was trying to make it happen...I wonder why it didn't...I think there was red-tape or something. Anyways, most women want to get laid, but they don't want to meet some stranger in a bar because it's scary and dangerous. Men don't really have this problem since they're rarely kidnapped, raped, and killed by women they meet in bars and go home with...so, it's actually quite safe if done properly in a brothel setting ala "The Bunny Ranch."

@JinxyMcDeath: "fecalphilia" is actually called "coprophilia" and personally I don't think it should be added into that list you have there: bestiality (also known as zoophilia) and pedophilia are both done with non-consenting partners. Coprophilia can and often is done with consenting partners.

@JinxyMcDeath: I'm not getting on you, you're obviously entitled to your opinions. I was just curious if there was some larger public health thing which colored that opinion.

FWIW, the argument could probably be made that some bestiality is consensual as well, rendering it only "deviant," as well.
