Karl Looks at a Naked Man Before a Naked Lady
Despite almost 15 "happy" years with his girlfriend Suzanne, Karl Pilkington rarely wastes a chance to have a sneaky peak at a gentleman's privates. Often teased by Ricky and Steve for his obviously repressed homosexual tendencies and sexual attraction to both Alex Zane and Jonathan Ross, Karl famously once revealed an incident where he had a glance at a man's penis and testicles even though there was a lady flashing her genitals at the same moment in time.
"Everyone Would"
After a brief discussion with Ricky and Steve about how he would be drawn to a man's "package" if he was watching ballet on tv(Ricky and Steve both claiming they would be drawn to "the beautiful ladies"), Karl recalls a night out he had where he and Suzanne attended a club and at a certain point in the evening two men and two woman took to the stage and removed their clothes in front of the audience. The flashers all removed their respective items of clothing simultaneously. Karl then said to Steve that in such a situation all men would have a "quick glance at the fellas" but the annoying thing about this particular night out was that by the time he was finished looking at the men the women had redressed and left the stage. Ricky and Steve queried how long Karl was looking at the men. Karl defended his actions saying it was almost like human nature and that most men would have a look just to see how the other men were "shaping up".
He also claimed "How would you know whether what you've got is normal until you see someone else's?"
