The Pseudo Phallus
Like many of you, I fell in lust with actor Theo James back in 2010 during his one episode stint as Kemal Pamuk on Downton Abbey. You could instantly see there was something special about James and that he was destined for stardom. You could also fully understand why Lady Mary was so hot and bothered and gave in to temptation.
Given his quick rise to fame, Theo bypassed the requisite butt scenes most up-and-coming actors are required to do early in their career. Given he slide easily into leading roles, I thought we might never get a nude scene. Then, low and behold, Theo's beautiful butt seemed to be on display in many of his roles.
The Time Traveler's WifeWe first saw the actors beefy buttocks in 2019's Sanditon, (HERE:) then buffets of butt during Theo's run in HBO's The Time Traveler's Wife. This fall, Theo returned to HBO in season 2 of The White Lotus. Now I have to admit, I haven't watched season 2 yet. I've had a busy Autumn, and hope to binge over the holidays. I couldn't miss however, all the fanfare over Theo's frontal in a recent episode.
Then, as suspected, Theo admitted recently on Fallon, that the penis in question, was in fact, a prosthetic. I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed the penis was fake, or that Theo publicly shared it. HBO is one of the best cable channels for male nudity, yet it's also the most likely to use fake, or computer generated genitals.
When it comes to HBO, frontals of male extra's or unknown and new actors, you're likely to see actual skin. When it comes to a name actor however, you can pretty much guarantee it's a bland illusion. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but if you're not going to show a real body part, don't even bother. I'd rather have another great view of Theo's hot heinie than a fake frontal. I mean really, it looks like it's jutting out of his belly button in the last photo...
The White LotusHaruehun Airry: Father Figures
There's something about winter that has many of us seeking something, or someone, more substantial. During the spring and summer, when it's bright and hot outside, pleasure is primary. When December and January roll around however, and the temperature dips, it's warmth, safety and security that many of us crave.
If you're one of the lucky ones, to have had a caring father, you know the security that can provide. I had a great mother, and a strong mother, but when demons dominated my nightmares, and I ran into my parents room, it was my father's side of the bed that I ran to. I was not allowed to actually get in the bed and disturb them, but there were many nights that lay beside my father's side of the bed. Thinking back.... I probably picked the wrong side. My dad was a great guy, but also non-confrontational. Had there actually been a real monster chasing me, it would have been my mother most likely to have slayed beckoning beast.
