Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Is it more common for a man from the U.K. to be circumsized or uncircumsized as the cultural norm?  If it matters, he's from Scotland.  Yes, it's for Zeppelins.  Yes, it's for Jonathon.

Yeah, apparently he had an elastic band tied around the end of his foreskin; not exactly sure why though!

Perhaps the picture needs to be studied more closely....

:-P

Purely in the interest of accuracy. Right. *giggling*

I'm almost afraid to ask. Why on earth did he have an elastic band tied there? I'm mean, I'm guessing it had something to do with the play, but...

I'm also wondering about the lucky poor costume mistress who got to explain that part of the costume to him......

Perhaps he was feeling Greek (http://www.dalesorenson.net/labels/penis.html)?

I have to think actors who appear nude on stage are pretty much going along those lines - "all part of the uniform". Plus, as I recall, you get extra pay for it, which I'm sure is nice. After you're over what is sure to be the initial embarrassment.

(I know the first time I worked on a show where actors were appearing nude, they were FAR more blase than I was about it. I was MORTIFIED. I also wasn't aware that they were nude until I happened to look on the stage, and there was a naked guy covered in baby powder standing there. Two weeks later, I was having a rational conversation while the stage manager was applying said baby powder to his...um...nether regions. Amazing what a person can get used to seeing, given enough time/exposure.)

Apparently, so I've read, its done to prevent an unwanted erection on stage?!?!?

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

...that would really be embarassing.

[azriona.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, actually. I wonder, then...if he saw something that MIGHT have otherwise given him an erection (and oh dear God I can't believe I'm typing this), I wonder what would happen to that blood flow? And would it be uncomfortable? Would he even know it was happening?!?!?!

LOL!! :oD

Well if you ever meet DT you'll have to ask!! I'm sure he won't ever have answered that question before!!

[azriona.livejournal.com]

you ask him first. i'll stand right behind you and nod.

[salimali.livejournal.com]

OK but as I'm only 5ft 1 he'll still see you *G*

[azriona.livejournal.com]

I'm 5'4". And I can squat. And I'll pretend to speak only Russian.

[salimali.livejournal.com]

knowing DT he probably speaks a few words of russian!!

[azriona.livejournal.com]

And if he knows how to answer that question in Russian, then I'll ask him. Otherwise, it's all you. :)

(Look at it this way, he might offer to demonstrate! In which case, I'm happy to act as the impartial observer...)

[salimali.livejournal.com]

ok then, IF I ever meet him, I'll ask. I'll be brave, blush a lot then tell him I had to ask as it wsa a bet :)
