House of the Dragon just made eyes pop with an erect penis – but it’s not the only show going to great lengths to challenge television’s nudity equality problem

featured not one but two penises: one mid-fellatio, the other post-coital. If original fantasy epic Game of Thrones became known for “sexposition” – advancing the plot against a backdrop of bare bodies – its prequel seems to be dealing in “dicksposition”.

House of the Dragon showing other TV shows how it's done, woman completely covered up while main male cast member strolls around showing it all“I almost forgot to bat an eyelid,” says BBC Radio 6 Music’s film and TV critic Rhianna Dhillon. “The BJ was rather explicit but it looked so obviously like a prosthetic that it took me out of it. But the moment with Prince Aemond was honest and vulnerable. An attempt at a show of power which instead softened the edges of a monstrous character.

The daddy of them all was the infamous shower scene in Netflix drama Sex/Life. A jealous husband followed his love rival to the gym to see what he was up against. In the changing rooms, the camera panned down to a whopper. It proved a PR masterstroke. Copious coverage was devoted to a “real or not?” debate about actor Adam Demos.

When Russell T Davies made his “hardness scale” triptych – Cucumber, Banana and Tofu – in 2015, he argued there should be more male nudity on TV. Film-makers including Judd Apatow and Sam Levinson have also stated a desire to level the full-frontal playing field.
