The show was part of the Body Image series of BBC Three

The BBC Trust has rejected a complaint about images of full-frontal male genitalia in a BBC Three documentary.

The BBC's regulatory body said the show had not breached the broadcaster's guidelines on harm and offence.

It followed a complaint the show was "inappropriate" as it could have been seen by children and was "gratuitous" and "excessive".

The Trust said while it contained challenging material there was a clear editorial purpose for it.

My Penis and Everyone Else's was originally broadcast in September 2007. It was billed as "challenging society's stereotypes of masculinity as well as getting to the heart of why men are so fixated with their members."

The BBC Trust's complaints committee ruled that the show had been editorially justified and that the scheduling and pre-programme information had been appropriate for the content.
