I like the good old days when a guy would find a Playboy magazine and we’d sneak into the garage and ogle. It was more then just looking at naked women, it was the idea we were doing something sneaky. To us, we were taking a big risk if we were caught.
One of my brothers dated a Playboy Bunny…I think it was her that made me a “leg” man. Out of uniform, she had NO BOOBS!!!! But her legs literally turned heads when she walked down the street.
I like the idea of leaving things to kids imagination. It’s like working in an ice cream shop, you’re around 50 flavors all the time and as cool as it looked at the beginning, it gets pretty mundane and ho-hum.
Like a lot of the old movies, ya didn’t have to see the entire boob to get the idea what they were. Take a look at some of the movies with frontal nudity or any nudity for that matter. Take out the parts where they get hot and heavy, would it make the movie less interesting? My wife and I watched the movie “Flight”…I think that was the name. It started out with a nude scene. Not sure what it had to do with the content of the movie to show a women parading around naked. Great movie with a great message but with the nude scenes, eliminated a lot of patrons who would have enjoyed the movie.

It’s really saddening because the nudity they put in is almost always objectifying women. It just adds to all the crap this society does to continue to mess with men’s minds and sexuality, to try to control us and keep us “bought in” to the idea that we are lead by our penises, that our sexuality is something that must be raging, that we must be animals who can’t control our sexual urges. And when we buy into ths trance of disempowerment, it weakens us, we do get poisoned and controlled by media and commercials and they really can suck… Read more »
I agree, it seems more and more movies today just sort of inject gratuitous nude scenes or rather explicit sex scenes. Some are so out of scync with the story that you get the feeling they were added in after the movie was done and someone decided to ‘ Spice things up’.
