The wizard titty garden is what I meant.

Again, that is also in the books. It’s gratuitous either way but it’s not like the show is pulling some trick the source material didn’t do.

I think it's the sort of thing that is way less gratuitous in text than as a visual. They could have established the wizards horniness with one establishing shot but they just had to have the naked ladies in the background the whole conversation

Nudity isn't inherently sexual and if you automatically think of sex or think a show is pervy just b/c you saw some innocent titties in the background I think you might be the one with the issue !!!

Now if the naked women at the wizard's pad were all loving or something I could see your point. But weren't they just like chilling and watering plants or some poo poo lmao

I tried to read the first Witcher book and it was easily the worst book I have ever attempted to read. It was like reading a teenager’s attempt at writing a video game plot.

Blood of Elves? I started with it because it was described as the first book in the saga and I really struggled through it too. Then I recently realized that the short story anthologies were actually first chronologically and in publishing order, and tried The Last Wish, which was a lot better. I haven’t gotten around to reading more, but it’s on my list now for when I get through my current backlog of books.

It's sexual because it's there to titilate the viewer and misogynist because women are used as scenery but men are not used in the same way. I'm not saying it's like the crime of the century or something but I get tired of breastige television where women are props and men aren't.

there’s so many rules about dinks on tv and baps are way easier. it’s why theon got done banging the boat girl and was flaccid somehow. it’s dumb but maybe in a few years we’ll be able to have rock hard dongs in our television shows and all will be well.

also dudes are just generally not as aesthetically pleasing as gals. we’re gross and i don’t really get why anyone finds us attractive at all.

Many men are aesthetically pleasing. Just not to a heterosexual man and therefore it's heavily regulated out of media.

I'd have zero problems if there was an equal dong quotient. American Gods was good about this, for example.

For sure. There’s plenty of dudes that look hot as hell. It just doesn’t rely on their dink being out. Everything pleasing about a guy is visual outside of their dong. Even Hodor wore a fake one. A woman naked is just inherently more provocative due to our cultural issues. Dinks are just not inherently sexy in the current weltanschauung. For whatever reason women naked is an across the board sexy thing while a dude is either just accepted and dismissed.

Look at the statue of David, or any similar classical or classical-inspired Renaissance sculpture. Attractive naked men all over the place, but the :dong: is minimized because it doesn't really add anything to the attractiveness.

To be fair most nude ladies are wearing merkins. Dudes would have to wear a prosthetic which would only serve to make it bigger, though probably straighter and not bending to the left (mostly).

Erect penises are impossible to sculpt out of heavy stones like marble as they would not be able to support their own weight cantilevered off the body.

That's why you have cherubs swarming around statues' feet and whatnot, to give more material to support the upper part of the statue. And marble is strong enough to support statues with upraised arms so I think it could manage.

Besides, there's always bronze, which was another popular statue material (but bronze statues are much less likely to survive to the modern day since the bronze was easily melted down into something useful, unlike marble).
