The Penis Conundrum

5½ minutes. One awkward subject. Plenty to talk about.

A sharp comedy about sex, expectations, shame, relationships — and the things we don't always know how to say to each other.

The Penis Conundrum premieres this October as part of BFML LIVE — our live YouTube premiere and conversation with the people behind the film, special guests, Boris and the audience.

Watch the film. Stay for the conversation.

Premieres October 2026.

She Tried to Look Away.

Laura is composed, capable and getting on with her working day.

Then she notices something during a meeting that she really wishes she hadn't.

An undeniably distracting bulge.

What follows is a sharp, surreal comedy about desire, embarrassment, relationships — and what happens when the things we don't talk about suddenly become impossible to ignore.

The Penis Conundrum doesn't tell the audience what to think.

It gives them something to talk about.

What is This Story?

“I wrote The Penis Conundrum after a day when sex was on my mind and I realised I had no idea whether what I was feeling was completely normal or slightly odd — because women rarely talk openly about desire, even with each other.

We've seen plenty of boob jokes and sexual comedy from a male perspective. I became curious about what would happen if we turned the camera around and looked at desire from a woman's perspective.

And, frankly, I thought it could be very funny.””
