    Can we also talk about how the men, naked or not, are just not that attractive? From the trailer it looks like maybe 30% of the dudes on this show are hot. Yet 100% of the women are. Also? Even the hot dudes can get away looking dirty and sweaty and generally unhygienic. Women? Maybe their hair is windswept, which only adds to their appeal. I'm not saying every person we see on tv has to be eye candy. But it's always been so irritating to me as a woman when 1. There's very few women on a show as is and 2. They're all hot.

    Take for example this cross dressing pirate lady. Those types of women ACTUALLY existed, and I doubt they looked like Victoria secret models. Why not a tall, thick lady with broad shoulders who could easily pull off the male look? It seems these woman aren't allowed to exist in our on screen fiction because they don't fit the narrowly defined specifications for white Hetero male boner fuel.

      Yes! The first penis I remember seeing was Harvey Keitel's in The Piano. No offense to you Harvey fans, but that wasn't exactly a penis I was dying to see. I also didn't care for the movie.

      Always disappointing that the women have to be hot in all circumstances. Even on Game of Thrones, their lauded for putting an unconventional character like Brienne on TV (when she's in the books so it's not really so revolutionary..) even though the actress is a total stunner. Nearly every other woman on that show is conventionally hot and shown to be so.

      I just started watching Suits and I was actually taken aback that one of the main characters (Harvey's secretary..) is VISIBLY AGED. Like, she looks about 40 and you can actually tell that with your eyes as you can with real human people who are 40. Granted, she's still conventionally hot, but I was just so pleased to see some damn crows feet.

    Yes. Yes. Yes to all of this.

    Futhermore, what this world truly needs is more full-frontal shots of Alexander Skarsgard.

    This is just a fact. Ain't no use in trying to argue.

    I'll just leave this here

      I'm not even a Team Eric person, and even I wholeheartedly agree with this.

    One of the reasons I will always love the movie Wild Things is Kevin Bacon's insistence on that peen shot. Remember? When he's in the shower? And it's totally gratuitous because there's no reason you need to see the full frontal but BAM THERE IT IS? Bacon basically said if the girls had to get their tits out somebody should have to whip out his own thick cut peppered bacon, and voila.

      WTF HBO? You are not subject to the whims of advertisers. Do you think Girls has a lot of conservative viewers that would be turned off by an erect penis? Do you have no notion that the popularity of Girls has a lot to do with the buzz surrounding the show and doing something like that could ONLY be good for viewership and publicity? Or perhaps that when Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham think something is a really good idea to put on television, maaaaaaybe you could take the advice of two of the most popular producers of content working right now?

      At least now I have some idea why Game of Thrones is such a vapid tit show, really letting down the integrity of the production. David Benioff and the forsomereason completely unremarkable other creator don't seem like closed minded bros who wouldn't allow a dick on TV. Oh but wait, we were allowed to see the completely desexualised penises of Hodor and (ugh) Alfie Allen. Equality!!
