Children in Movie Nude Scenes

[SomeRandom]

Not showing something does not make it shameful or taboo, unless it actually is.

My problem with nudity in films today, is that 99+ percent of the nudity is added for the male viewing pleasure, - which does continue the idea of the female body as being a sexual object.

Films of the past had all the same subjects that those of today have, - rape - infidelity - hookers, sadistic murder, etc., yet they managed to make them without the nudity.

I'm obviously all for a future where nudity is fine, however, I think a societal change is necessary in the US first, - before it will actually be "natural" nudity in our films.

This skinny-dipper hopes they get there sooner rather than later.

I dunno, I watch quite a few foreign movies. American titilation seems kind of boring in comparison.
But If you're after some beefcakes, might I suggest some Bollywood? The actors might as well be runway models the amount of times they randomly appear shirtless covered in glistening gel. No real reason, just coz. Personally I'm partial to Hithrik (sp?) It's like if that Jacob guy from Twlight was a gifted dancer and a better actor.

Oh how times change. And not necessarily for the better. We are essentially eroticising child nudity by banning the depiction of such. In many European countries it would be quite normal to see either kids topless or completely naked out in the public domain. In the UK, I can remember seeing a topless (prepubescent) girl on a kids TV programme many years ago, with not a whisper of impropriety mentioned. Also, I suppose they have disappeared into oblivion, but many films emanating from Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe often showed child nudity. Now, they are all probably associated with paedophilia. We will have to wait and see if this is a better decision than eroticising child nudity by banning it, and perhaps making it more desirable - for some.
