Me and My Penis provided a British television first on Monday night but viewers were unsure whether they were seeing a huge breakthrough or a step too far.
The Channel 4 documentary had men of different sexualities speaking openly about their relationship with their 'manhood' and spilled the beans with their thoughts on body image, sex and masturbation.
Ahead of the show's airing artist and photographer Ajamu had told Metro : "Lots of countries actually celebrate the penis in terms of its fertility, its aliveness and energy.
"But in this country the d**k is still seen as pornographic and my work is there to reclaim the d**k from that space.
"I want the images in the film to normalise the penis; especially the erection. By keeping it taboo we give it too much power and don’t allow men to be vulnerable."
Viewers were divided as to whether the experience brought to light the the pressures and fears around masculinity or whether it showed more than enough for many viewers could swallow.
Twitter was alive with the conversation as viewers shared their thoughts, which ranged from thought provoking insights to a plethora of aubergine emojis and gifs.
One tweeted: "Channel 4 [has] produced a serious open conversation to remove many stigmas, stereotypes and taboos and to tackle body dysmorphia many men face with their penises and to tackle toxic masculinity in society."
Another agreed, tweeting: "First thought was to be taken aback but I don’t think I’ve ever seen men talking about disliking their bodies in the same way you see women."
A third added: "Good to raise awareness of issues some men are facing. Such an important message. Break the taboo."
On the other hand, the thought of an erect penis on television was not going down well with viewers, who felt Channel 4 had crossed a line they didn't need to be even close to.
One disgruntled watcher tweeted: "Oh, 2020. What have you done now?"
Another fumed: #meandmypenis - right the television gets worse. I’m turning it over."
A third questioned: "Are they going to show someone c***ing? This is too much for me #MeAndMyPenis"
