When I saw it (opening night the first run) he was flaccid. Still impressive, but not nearly the monster everyone has talked about and now appears in videos circulating online. Either beginning to fluff before coming on stage was an artistic choice — e.g., sporting a semi/erect penis is meant to portray sexual-tension-meets-alpha-dominance in context — or it was not, in which case I’m left wondering about his intentions, especially because he signed up for a second run after pics/videos were released and there was so me much attention (included in interviews he gave) about his penis. Is Jesse an exhibitionist (or did the excessive attention on his nudity cause him to discover that he is one)? Is he highly vain? Did the pressure of the media attention and leaks make him feel like he needed to keep measuring up (literally) night? Did he - a straight actor - assume that a gay man would naturally appear semi/erect when in a shower with another man, even in such a charged context (the scene is very intense…)? It’s just always been very interesting to me why he progressively became so much more fluffed for these scenes (which some could consider distatestful in a serious play because it’s distracting), especially as the hype around his penis increased. This new 4k video on Twitter, if watched out of context, could almost be viewed as something pre-pornographic given the scene setting and Jesse’s clearly engorged penis! I find it all interesting. (Please, no unkind remarks about waxing philosophical on an LPSG thread. This is all meant to be fun and, whatever his intention, Jesse’s nudity is a true gift to the world.)
