Premium cable and streaming shows sure have come a long way in the last few years. After decades and decades worth of exposing viewers to gratuitous female nudity (hi Skinemax!), 2017 was a breakthrough year for the male member. My colleague Kayla Cobb went as far as to describe the events of last year as a “radical dickstorm” in her end of year essay “Thank God For This Year’s Meaningless Dicks,” but one large item somehow managed to escape mainstream attention: Siddhartha Rajan’s penis broke TV’s boner barrier.

Time and time and time again, we’ve seen flaccid phalli flop across our television screens, but to date, boners have almost exclusively been confined to the silver screen. Leave it to the epiphanic filmmaker Joe Swanberg to accomplish something unheard of TV during the second season of his Netflix show, Easy. He dared challenge the infamous (and quite possibly non-existent) Mull of Kintrye test by flaunting a character’s engorged todger on screen during his show’s “Side Hustle” episode, in which a character named “Indian Client” (Rajan) pays to visit a feminist sex blogger/escort (Karley Sciortino). The two get fully undressed, but some personal hangups on the part of “Indian Client” prevent the two from making the beast with two backs; instead, they settle for a bit of mutual masturbation.

In between these two moments, Swanberg shows us a few seconds of Rajan’s Full Monty, a penis that Redditors describe as a “full fledged cock” that “breaks the stereotype that indian guys have small dicks” (a point which Rajan himself echoed on his Twitter). Although the character is not quite fully aroused, Decider’s highly scientific analysis shows that the angle of his dangle definitely exceeds that of the Mull of Kintrye, long rumored to be the standard by which the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) determines whether or not it’s kosher to show a pickle on screen.

The evidence, as it were:

Yes, we dusted off our protractors to determine that this schlong exceeds the Mull of Kintrye —shout out to Paul McCartney and Wings, btw— by at least a full 7 degrees. Attention must be paid to this Willy, people! We applaud Messrs Rajan and Swanberg, Miss Sciortino, and whoever else was present on set that day for coming together (perhaps literally) that day to make television history.

Your move, HBO.
