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.[9][10]
