Long Dong Silver is a British retired porn star known for his large penis. He was born in 1960 in London, England, as Daniel Arthur Mead. His stage name is a reference to the fictional Treasure Island character Long John Silver.
Famed for the apparent size of his penis, reputedly 18 inches (46 cm), [1] he appeared in several pornographic movies in the UK and US during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Photographer Jay Myrdal said that although Silver "was immensely endowed ... a good nine or ten inches", [2] the penis featured in his porn shoots was faked. After at first using "complicated multi-exposure techniques" to enhance it in still photography, [3] Myrdal later persuaded Christopher Tucker, the makeup artist for the 1980 film The Elephant Man , to create a prosthetic. Myrdal described it as "very light, a very delicate foam latex sleeve that fit on over the cock, carefully glued down underneath by the pubes and then made up". [4]
Silver's debut film was the low-budget Sex Freaks, released in 1979, in which he co-starred with Vicki Scott. In 1982, he appeared with the actress Seka in Beauty and the Beast, shot in the US. [5] Silver reached a new audience in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination in the US Senate in 1991, [6] [7] [8] as Anita Hill alleged that Thomas had mentioned to her that he was a viewer of Silver's films.

A fluffer is a person employed to keep a porn performer's penis erect on the set. After setting up the desired angle, the director asks the actors to hold position and calls for the fluffer to "fluff" the actors for the shot. These duties are considered part of the makeup department. While fluffing does not necessarily involve touching the actors, it could entail sexual acts such as fellatio or non-penetrative sex.

For purposes of comparison it might help to consider that this is larger than the penises of 99.99 percent of all living males, probably including Milton Berle; larger than the mythical penis of gangster John Dillinger (so legendary that FBI agents were reputed to have amputated it and kept it preserved in a jar); larger even than the penis of almost every porn star, with the possible exception of Long Dong Silver, whose rarely erect 18-inch penis figured so prominently in the congressional hearings on the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Clarance Thomas.
Senate confirmation hearings had left Thomas a new, but disgraced, member of the court. In her testimony, Hill calmly told Senators how her then-boss Thomas exploited and harassed female workers. He told dirty jokes. He graphically described pornographic videos he had rented, including the now-famous 'Long Dong Silver.' Perhaps inspired by 'Long Dong', he bragged about the size of his own penis. He begged for dates. He even accused Hill of leaving pubic hairs on his can of Coca-Cola. Nice guy.
Six decades later, another black American faced a committee of white men agitated about his penis. For hours those white men listened, many of them visibly appalled, to complaints from a woman about the black man's lewd behavior toward her, all of it, she said, unwelcome and unsolicited. They heard how he bragged about the size of his organ, comparing it to a supernaturally endowed porn star named Long Dong Silver.
The reporters have confirmed the rumor sweeping newsrooms at the time of the hearings that Thomas had a longtime interest in pornography. The rumor became important when Hill testified that Thomas had called her into his office at the EEOC and began discussing a pornography star named 'Long Dong Silver.' Sen. Howell T. Heflin (D-Ala.) asked Thomas if he'd ever heard that name, and Thomas replied no. 'It is entirely possible that Thomas was telling the truth,' the authors write. But they also quote Barry Maddox, the proprietor of Graffiti, a video store, as saying that Thomas was a regular customer of 'adult movies' after the store began renting pornographic videos in 1982. The store stocked 'freak of nature' movies, including the series that made Long Dong Silver a well-known performer.
Is it just coincidence that the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings in the fall of 1991 roughly coincided with Bill Clinton's emergence on the national scene? In the years since Long Dong Silver became a household name--not to mention Paula Jones and Dick Morris--one thing has become clear: the word nadir no longer has any meaning in public life.
