Willie Week on U.K's Channel 4

[thirteenbyseven]

Standing in stark contrast to our American television where we talk sex to death without showing any skin whatsoever, our friends over the pond apparently have a less inhibited version of ratings sweeps. In their version, the dreaded male organ was fair game for late night viewing. Channel 4 presented an exciting three part installment with the first night entitled, " In search of the Perfect Penis" followed by, "The World's Largest Penis" and ending on a somewhat disappointing return to the 1993 plight of "John Wayne Bobbitt."

From what I can glean on the internet, no new ground was broken but a reviewer writing for the mainstream albeit left-leaning Guardian philosophically huffed that Kinsey may have been wrong about ruler placement and the average penis may indeed be an even more modest 5". (Was this wishfull thinking after he took a peek down his trousers?)

Another interesting sidebar looked into the wacky world of surgical penis enhancement. One segment of the program series took a look at the cosmetic surgical practice of south Florida doctor Dr. Harold Reed who performs enlargement surgery at umpteen thousand dollars a pop. Apparently the risk/benifit analysis wasn't sufficient for one fellow who was interviewed. In truth, many of these so-called phalloplasty surgeons have either retired (Dr. Douglas Whitehead), had their medical licenses lifted (Dr. Melvyn Rosenstein of Culver City) or are being sued up the ying-yang like California's Dr. Gary Rheinschild. " Me thinks" a penis is no place for a surgical scalpel unless there is an actual medical emergency or deformity.

Last but for we here at lpsg.org not least, Jonah Falcon re-emerged from out of the New York shadows to grant an interview. Again from tidbits I obtained on the internet, Jonah tells the interviewer that his 13.5" (actually 9.5") penis has caused him nothing but a lifetime of grief, pain and suffering. He is a thirty-five year old man still living with his mother in the same modest apartment where he was discovered in 1999 for the HBO Special "Private Dicks." He still yearns for the lights of Broadway and the red carpet of Hollywood, dreams of what could have been but for the notoriety of his d**n dick. So Sad.

Please, any Brits who have seen this series, give the rest of us the inside scoop of the TV series and any video links.opcorn:

I didn't watch the Bobbitt programme but I did see the other two. The Perfect Penis was ultimately depressing and fundamentally about male vanity. While I would like another inch or so myself, I would never contemplate surgery but jelqing (for which you don't have to pay if you know where to look) can produce some improvement. The absolute nadir came when Mister Mark, former owner of this site, hauled out of his pants what he called "The Monster". Vastly expanded by the use of silicone, his cock and balls are a grotesque and unattractive spectacle. No use now for its basic purpose and, to this viewer at least, totally unerotic. A moderately pumped dick can be quite interesting but this was horrid. There was also an interview with Mike Salvini (I think that's the same) who runs a PE site called Matters of Size and did a brief (flaccid) demonstration. A young man in Florida was seen undergoing the first stage of lengthening and widening surgery although his cock looked quite OK to me. The other programme, The World's Biggest Penis, did indeed major on Mr. Falcon who obliging dropped his boxers for a quick peek. His claim to have the world's biggest is, in my view, suspect but he is at least going to the gym to shed some of the surplus pounds he has put on in recent years. But he still parades around Manhattan in thin, shiny pants - he is a complete exhibitionist it seems. Other interviewees included one LPSG member, Steed Holt and a black English porn star of 11" called Omar. No erections were shown, of course, which rather negates the premise of the programme. However, perhaps Channel 4 would release an unexpurgated video on to the adult market. The problems of being over-endowed were stressed by the men that appeared and Omar was particularly frank, as were a husband and wife: he is 8" and thick it seems and the lady said that they have been able to enjoy anal sex as well as the normal route. These programmes were broadcast at 11.00 p.m. and I am sure VCRs and DVDRs would have been humming. Mine was!

I'm not a Brit but I managed to watch it over here in the States. It's always interesting to see our society and culture put up on display. I just about fell over when they mentioned LPSG. It isn't much of a surprise to see how fast all the trolls came out.

more media balls. omar is certainly way above average but no way is he even close to 11" long.

bartonside, that was extremely cogent review of the series. However with regard to Mr. Falcon, I see that Jonah still has an inordinate fondess for Lycra-in-public as late as Summer 2005, rarely seen among high achievers in the business world. If he ever loses the weight (clue: get out of mommy's apartment and forgo the triple deck Monsterburgers) maybe he can segway into a men's store for a Hugo Boss or Gorgio Armani suit.

Surely the man has some job skills beyond pandering his 9.5" as a 13.5" to the media?

Having pummelled Jonah Falcon into oblivion again (and having re-read my postings I confess to doing the dasterdly deed this time) there is an interesting item in the Birtish tabloid The Sun. No, I'm not referring to the rubbish of an interview with Jonah Falcon of the incipient double chin and transverse semi-erection across Spandex pants, it's the ruler placed vertically to the right of the article. Strategically along the inch mark are celebrity names ranging from Jude Law at 2" to George Clooney at 8" and Will Smith at 9".

Can one imagine the Wall Street Journal or a big city paper like the Los Angeles Times pubishing an article like this? Would the E! Channel or Entertainment Tonight ever dare send one of their comely blonde babes out on assignment with the send-off, "our own Brooke ****** is at Cannes where she is sizing up the situation." (Shot of a hot blonde reporter provocatively nibbling on the end of a ruler she appears to be performing oral sex on.)

We can learn a lot from the Brits.

You're contrasting the Sun with the Wall Street Journal, and are surprised to note major differences? That's a bit like comparing Sesame Street to the NcNeil-Lehrer NewsHour. Different kettle of fish entirely.

Is there an equivalent to The Sun in the US?
I've always found America to be a much more prudish nation to the UK, personally....

I have / could and will never understand what this whole hang up thing is about where some body parts can be shown however, butts are OK in some countries and not others, penis's flacid and never erect, tits are fine except some people like the nipples covered up...what are all the rules about. We bump into advertising and pictoral constraints all the time, and we are only trying to show sex toys! I believe we really all have seen it ALL before and who really cares what is depicted in the media...should we all wear pixelating glasses in real life to cover the bits that should offend us? I think it is absurd to have such constraints...

 

[chrisj14uk]

Yea but what about 'God this...' and 'God that...'.

I imagine there will be quite biased opinion on this site. I doubt many men of the cloth are on here talking about their huge dongs.

 

[D_Cleught Clitickler]

The pixellated stuff is because the law prevents an erect penis from being shown explicitly (in the non-sexual sense of the word); it can be implied (why else pixellate?!) but not shown. Our obscenity laws date from the 1950s and really need overhauling, especially with the internet explosion.

The Sun is the most popular-selling paper in the country, with a circulation of over 4 million. So there's a bit of a 'demand' for these stories. I've never found a US equivalent really.

Incidentally if you think you're prudish compared to the British television, you should watch what they get away with in Holland, France and Germany...

The fact that he's such a dreadful human being will quell his dreams of Hollywood...actuall it's just that he's so ugly and greasy.

Pure Genius Dr. Rock. I nominate Laurie Dhue or Megyn Kendall as Fox's Mistress of Measurements. Hmmm, think Fox's home office (the Republican National Committee) would condon such behavior? I think not.:shocked1:
