Prosthetic penises have been used in a number of shows sometimes it's to reflect the character's penile size (like on Minx or Netflix's Sex Education), but in other cases it simply conceals the actor's body (as done in HBO's Euphoria). The use of a prosthetic on many different programs, not just Minx, has inspired an interesting conversation: are we actually in a full-frontal renaissance on TV, or does the use of prosthetic penises somehow continue the double standard between male and female nudity in Hollywood?

It's just something that's sort of necessary for the character."īut it isn't fully Crnkovich in the scene. The character calls for having a very large penis. "So I think when they cast that, they want to get a good actor for the role, first and foremost. "When you're talking about the male porn industry, they want these characters that are very well endowed," Crnkovich told Newsweek. The only difference between the model and David is one particularly large appendage.
