But you all are failing to take into consideration that he was an alien and the penis was just prosthetics, as were his ears, nipples, and contacts.

I think he had a perfect package!!!

I don't recall ever seeing such a loaded question (no pun intended).
The plural of mouse is mice. The plural of goose is geese. Why is the plural of moose not meese?

Yes, it is his junk. David Bowie using a body double? The man was drop dead gorgeous and off his head on drugs, he wouldn't have bothered.
Lucky lucky Candy Clark, how I do envy you!

you guys are both idiots

Keep making me laugh with your delusions nephihaha.

What a pathetic and desperate creature you are nephihaha.

Using the logic you apply in your repeated ad-hominem attacks against me;
This reveals that Nephihaha lusts after ladyboys!
Such a sexually repressed mormon.

"You could never really see them before."
Exactly, the female upper half is more obviously sexual, and the male lower half is more obviously sexual. perhaps

We've been seeing naked men and women in film for around the same time, but I'd say the reason penises aren't so 'taboo' as vaginas is that up until maybe 20, 30 years ago, vaginas were totally engulfed by pubic hair! Like that scene in The Life of Brian, where a naked Judith defends Brian from his mum, and they could get away with this nudity because her hair covered her breasts, and her pubes covered everything. Only since women have started grooming like they do now have vagina shots been as 'graphic' as penis shots. You could never really see them before.

I sure did (hey, I was 18)! My mother of course was shocked, embarrassed, yadda. I would consider this scene soft-porn. This is the naughtiest movie I ever saw.

"While they show a lot of penises, the vagina is still a taboo".
A bit easier to show penises, since they stick out.
On the other hand, one sees a lot of topless women in old films of the period.
Just as these days, it's almost obligatory for good looking women to get off with each other in tacky Hollywood blockbusters, but you'll hardly ever see two men get it on

But remember fellas, if there weren't vaginas there wouldn't be any penises (or is it vice versa?).

it can be seen briefly in the gun scene

It's likely that the film-makers wanted to go with a 'safer' shot of Bowie in the buff, (i.e. not in an 'aroused' state), so as to avoid the dreaded X rating.

Film crew didn't seem to bother the folks in 9 Songs (2004)
I think an actor needs to get it up, if that's what would be happening in the scene.

Well the shot was reasonably wide because it showed most of his body (it was not a body double), so for this reason, even though it's on a large screen, it looks a bit unimpressive. It was also completely flacid. I guess Candy just wasn't doing it for him then again, there was a bloody big film crew watching.
So just to prove that he does have a decent size "shlong", please feel free to perve at this photo: But do so at your own risk.

There were a couple of shots with Bowie's full body, including his face where you could see it. A lot of the more graphic shots pan up to his face too- so it's definitely him- Unless they had the technology to put bowie's head on somebody else's body.
