Seems to me that in this case, some viewers are sexualizing that which isn't directly sexual in the moment - Visanthe's penis is simply a penis at that moment. It's not being used in a sexual manner; it's simply there. It's a body part that got exposed, no different than an arm or a leg or a butt cheek. Perhaps he didn't take an extra three seconds to consider that moving his towel with cameras in the vicinity might inadvertently flash the TV-viewing public. Perhaps he did it intentionally. Who knows? Who cares? It's a naked body, not footage of the mass murder of children and puppies. Egads, some quarters of our society love to overreact anymore. Let's all tell them to lighten up, huh?
