No Fair! Thoughts on Nudity in Films

Do I dare add an image to this post... I could get shut down! Dumber things happen all the time.

Speaking of dumb things... These days an R rated film can have full nudity, even full frontal nudity... but only if the nude is female! Now c'mon, is that fair?! Male nudity is the sole realm of porn.. and MONTY PYTHON'S THE LIFE OF BRIAN. Why is that?

I suppose if you are against full frontal male nudity, i.e. pictures of penises, you would be against full frontal female nudity too... and probably all nudity.

But if the issue is not general censure, why can we see bums, boobs, and pudenda but not penises? Are penises inherently more obscene or evil-doing or corrupting?

Or is what some might suggest that women are sex objects but not men? They are for many gay men and quite a few women, I'll have you know.

I wonder... maybe it's the actors. Maybe they don't want us to know how well... or poorly... hung they are. There probably isn't an equivalent in penis department for a stool for Tom Cruise to stand on so he looks taller.

I dunno.. all I can say is, "No fair!"
