Nudity Hypocrisy

[AdminAssistant]

Well, and there is that issue of practicality. Say you're filming a movie with a sex scene. You want to avoid showing genitalia, but you also want good upper body/face shots. And, well, the boobs are close to the face. It's fairly easy to suggest sex while hiding the bottom half, a little more difficult with the top.

I've seen a lot of TV shows and movies featuring women having sex with their bras on, for that reason, I guess.

It's never struck me as authentic. I mean, you're nekkid from the waist down, so why not free the girls? Personally, I can't wait to get that straightjacket off. Sometimes before the shoes.

Especially if it's not the quick, spur of the moment kind. No foreplay? Bah.

The male form is just not a pleasant sight to look at. Doesn't matter if you are a guy or a girl. It's just...ugh.

Then how come the Statue of David draws huge crowds even today?

Nudity doesn't bother me, but double standards sure do.

Hear, hear! What's good for the goose is good for the gander, after all...

They bother me too. But when it comes to double standards by gender, well that's a street that runs in two directions.

I think Elaine Benes from Seinfeld explained it best:

"The female body is a work of art.
The male body, on the other hand, is very utilitarian. It's for gettin' around, it's like a Jeep."

simply watch Euro Trip uncut, the scene at the nudist beach. LOTS of penises !

I see no problem with it honestly. If it's not pornographic (as in the dude a tad turned on) then who honestly cares?

Wait...clearly you ex does.

It's been a while since I've seen it (my little brother nicked my copy then went to Thailand) but I believe that Trainspotting showcases Ewan McGregor's dick in one scene. XD And nope; it's not gratitious; he's getting out of bed.

What makes me laugh is when films show men getting out of bed coyly, hiding their junk behind a hand or the duvet. That definitely is not realistic. XD

Austin Powers?

Ha ha, Tomb Raider was on the other night, and Daniel Craig had a table tastefully arranged to hide his package. Too bad, he's a handsome man

oh, I beg to differ

all else aside though, the OP does have a point about the double standard. What I've never understood though is why there is such a taboo against nudity... I mean, everyone is nude at least once a day... unless either they don't bathe or bathe with clothes on... so why does society say it's so evil... it is how we're born after all.
Even in movies, the scenes that in real life wouldn't be that unusual for nudity to occur (ie, getting out of bed, locker rooms, etc) movies intentionally work to prevent there being any nudity on screen... what gives? I'm not going to freak out about seeing a naked guy in a locker room on screen because I expect there to be naked guys in locker rooms (I may be weird though).

Oh, and completely OT, but someone mentioned Naked Boys Singing... I LOVE that show, the songs are soo freakin funny

I don't know about girls, but I've never seen a guy get naked in the locker room. So that WOULD be an unusual situation to see a guy naked.

Same here. I kinda thought there was a rule of 'cover yourself' while in the men's locker room, kinda like the 'straight ahead, no talking' rule at the urinal.

Sometimes that's the first thing I do when I get home.

I bet I'd get banned if I posted IPF's 'This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures' smiley here, wouldn't I?
