Would you really show your friends your penis? - That Awkward Moment (2014) Discussion

[–] coastin_on_a_dream 11 years ago

Definitely not. I am kind of surprised that scene is in the movie. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I rolled my eyes when they showed that part in the previews. I think it's very unrealistic for a straight man to show his straight guy friends his penis nonchalantly like it's no big deal.

I'm in college and I live with 3 of my guy friends in a house. If one of my roommates were to accidentally walk in on me changing or something and accidentally see my junk, I guess it's not a big deal, but I would never deliberately show them. And I'm sure it's the same for them, vice versa. That's just...weird.

Well gay people (not that there's anything wrong with that) is one thing and if you MUST show a doctor then that's understandable but just casually? I'm out. I remember that movie she's out of my league (I liked a lot actually) had a scene where one of the guys shows his junk to the other three. There's also a scene where one of the friends shaves the others balls for him.

I'm with you. Guys walk around totally nude in common shower rooms (and pretend that nothing unusual is happening and never look directly at other guys' junk) but they don't display their genitalia in ordinary conversation. OK, there are 150 million males in this country, so it may have happened once or twice; but it is so rare that this scene made me sit back and say "Whoa, that wouldn't happen!" and 99 percent of the audience would respond in the same way. This false note broke my immersion in the story.

But there's an even bigger credulity issue in this movie. See "Dildo? I don't think so" post.

I thought it wasn't very realistic in the context of the scene. But I'm glad you remember my endowment.

I laughed so hard at your post that I spat my apple all over the screen.

I have responded to your question in another post.

But a bigger question arises from this scene. The character displays his penis to his male friends after explaining that he had been masturbating with sun tan lotion and it had discolored his member.

Now, everyone knows that everyone does it, but guys don't acknowledge their personal involvement in auto-erotic amusements, not in ordinary social conversations. So this scene is doubly unbelievable.

"but guys don't acknowledge their personal involvement in auto-erotic amusements,"

Speak for yourself. I have no problem texting my friends in a group text that I'll be there in a half hour because I have to jerk off first. hahaha

[–] dbwilyumz 11 years ago

Note that you add a "hahaha" at the end. You know that your text messages to friends about being delayed because you are masturbating are not taken seriously even when they are true. I doubt that you have ever informed a co-worker or classmate, "You know, while I was masturbating last night I had this great idea..." without indicating that you aren't serious. All guys call each other jerk-offs and nervously refer to the issue, but almost no guy directly and seriously reveals himself as a stroke artist.

A lot of guys talk pretty openly with friends about masturbating.

No, I was VERY serious. I put haha because it's funny, but true.

If my dick turned orange because I was jerking with tanning lotion, I might show someone. It's hilarious.

A guy goes to the doctor and says "Doc, you gotta help me, my dick is orange."
Doc says that can't be possible. Guy takes off his pants and sure enough his dick is orange. Doc says what have you been doing this weekend. Guy says watching porn and eating Cheetos.

I would never do that either. No guy without a medical degree needs to see my genitalia.

You seem bothered that some men don't parade around naked in front of other men.

ANY GUY THAT proudly prays naked in front of guys is trying to impress them. As a heterosexual, I have no need to impress another guy with the size of my genetalia.

NO! Thats something that really pisses me off to, in my films and sitcoms I'm seeing close friends doing this (they did it in Sex and the City too) - who the hell is THAT comfortable around their friends?

I've been close friends with my friends for more than 15 years but I've still never seen their body parts. Even if I thought something was wrong I would never show it to them.

Ashmi any question

Some "straight" guys show their wieners to other "straight" guys because they're not completely "straight." It turns them on to do it. And there's a reason for that.

When done in the context of the frat house, the locker room, etc. though, they can get away with it and call it "just a bunch of buds joking around." When in reality, some of them are probably getting into it, unbeknownst to their friends who truly are straight.

I still say that if every guy who has ever had an experience with, or thought of, another guy in that way turned green for 24 hours….you'd see a lot of very shocked wives, girlfriends, and buddies.

Girls see each other naked all the time (we go shopping together, accompany each other sometimes when somebody gets a quick bikini wax) and honestly, nobody ever mentions it being weird. Maybe women don't have as many hangups about people thinking they're gay? Or maybe we aren't worried about having a smaller/bigger vagina than the girl next to us, so nobody's actively trying to sneak a peek for comparison?

I mean, it's definitely weird for a guy to show another guy his penis if it's erect (unless they're sleeping together), but what's the big deal with seeing another man's flaccid penis? It's not like anybody is getting off on the sight, so what's the major issue with it? My husband is English and I think the guys have fewer hangups about being naked around each other - Europe in general is like that. Most American guys always appear nervous other guys will think they want to have sex with them.

BTW, the character who showed his penis was a doctor, so he'd probably seen a million penises and wasn't Victorian about the sight of a nude body.
