Summary
House of the Dragon's recent episode featuring two penises is part of a rising trend of male nudity in television, aiming to address the historical inequality of nudity and stigma surrounding male bodies. The increase in male nudity on TV reflects a shift towards more gender equality, with prosthetic penises becoming a norm and intimacy coordinators working to ensure scenes serve the storytelling purpose.
