more cock shots - yes or no?

After finally watching game of thrones, DP and I have found ourselves with a little disagreement that hopefully Mumsnetters can clear up...

During the series there were about 2-3 1 second cock shots and every time DP would say 'ooh a cock shot for you' (because if you haven’t seen it there are a million and one naked women shots) and no matter how many times I tell him 'I personally don't want to see penises flopping about on screen and I doubt many other women (and men) do either' he just wouldn't have it...

For me, if Jon Snow started whipping his cock out every two minutes I would find it really off putting lol

So I put it to you... would you (as a woman) like to see more cock shots on tv or would you find it off putting?

Vote: YABU for I LOVE COCKS AND WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THEM ON TV

Or

YANBU for no, cock shots are off putting and I’d rather leave it to my imagination

@MedusasBadHairDay

Honestly I would be quite happy not seeing another strangers genitals ever again, male or female.
Hear hear - especially when they are shaved or plucked - as they almost always are.

Bliddy awful!

LindaEllen · 08/12/2020 11:53

I mean, it depends who it is. Jon Snow, yes please! :D

MotherOfDragonite · 08/12/2020 11:57

I don't really think that graphic visuals of genitalia have much to add to most films or TV shows (unless it's porn!)

thosetalesofunexpected · 08/12/2020 11:59

Hi Op

Haven't watched Tv for some/long time now,
I don't see the point of Nudity titulation for the sake of it.😕

Only if the story line warrants it

I often think selective editing in a way that creates some imagination thinking, (
not revealing everything ,just a glimpse even with clothes on, can be more erotic..

Peanutbutterblood · 08/12/2020 12:04

Less is definitely more, in men and women.

I've been to a couple of magic Mike tupe shows and I have a good laugh, it's all fun until they take their cock out and it spoils it

justanotherneighinparadise · 08/12/2020 12:13

Has anyone added Terry’s shot yet? 🍆

Coffeeandcocopops · 08/12/2020 12:21

I think there needs to be more equality on screen. I’m fed up watching a film or series with my sons and seeing breasts all over the place as though it is nothing. We even saw a Close up of a clitorus on goggle box. Yet men get out if bed and wrap a towel around themselves so a lot if time we are lucky to see a chest.

TheQueef · 08/12/2020 12:23

No no.
No more Sir Terry pics.
Half of mumsnet with the fanny gallops won't help matters.

WitchesSpelleas · 08/12/2020 12:25

Not interested in seeing random cocks for the sake of it, no. A flaccid cock is a definite turn off.

Macncheeseballs · 08/12/2020 12:27

There was a scene in normal people where she is being humiliated by a boyfriend taking naked pics of her, eventually she says no, how ironic she didnt/couldn't say that to the director. All I know is I wouldn't want that to be my daughter.

Morechocolateneeded · 08/12/2020 12:29

I quite like the more natural continental style of showing full shots of both men and women, without it being a big deal.

BrassicaRabbit · 08/12/2020 12:29

I voted for more cock shots sorry!

But under strict "cock for tits" guidelines. Equal numbers and exposure times. And the cocks are to be attached to actors just as physically attractive as the tit bearing actors.

Why not? It might possibly wake people up to caring about the way women are continually and relentlessly objectified on screen and in adverts.

I also think licence needs to be sought for graphic portrayal of sexual abuse as entertainment. Perhaps a panel would review whether essential to the story or gratuitous titillation. Perhaps a donation made to an anti violence against women & girls charity.

ArabellaScott · 08/12/2020 12:30

It used to be that a tiny small penis was the sign of how erudite and refined the man was.

catsmother · 08/12/2020 12:40

Ha ha.... am watching GoT again - - for the umpteenth time - - and am pretty sure you never ever get to see Jon Snow's cock! You might see his bum IIRC, or was that Robb's? Or both. Though Tormund does refer to him at some point in later series as having a small one - so now you know and don't need to see it anyway.

Am up to the end of S2 and have thus far seen Theon and Honor's cock.... neither of which did a great deal for me I have to say! Hmm

Now - to return to the point of the thread, I actually think genitals (male & female) are pretty yuk in all reality...........

Apparently there are pages on google advising you on lighting and angles so you can get a decent cock shot.

Is the answer lights off and face the camera away?

I got the impression reading articles etc that Daisy Edgar Jones thought it was important to tell the story truthfully. She could say no to anything she wanted, they actually managed to do all the sex scenes without him ever touching her breasts, they definitely had input into what they did/didn't want.
Nancydrawn · 08/12/2020 12:53

The cocks on GoT weren't meant to titillate. As far as I remember, the most prominent cock shot was of a man asking if he had an STI. That one was clearly a meta-commentary on people critiquing their lack of gender parity when it came to nudity--except it was just grotesque, and thus kind of a fuck you to the complainers.

There is rarely any sexy full-frontal male nudity in movies/tv. When it's there it's played for laughs, for drama, or for realness/earthiness. Whereas full-frontal female nudity is quite often there to be attractive.

There's a (now defunct) Tumblr called critiquemydickpic and the woman did detailed critiques of all the cock shots she got sent. It was a passion project (arf) for her and she had very clear criteria for what made a cock shot sexy. Grin

Too many gratuitous sex scenes and (largely female) nudity or toplessness, with sex scenes that are often laughable. Hardly ever is the matter of condoms addressed. Depending on when the scenes are set (time period), often the level of pubic hair (or not) is not in keeping with the times.

So less not just have more for the sake of evenness.

Macncheeseballs · 08/12/2020 17:48

Sparklingbrook, so the story cant be 'told truthfully' with out bush, boobs n ballsHmm
