Nudity Hypocrisy

Except that he was naked in the book, so why put clothes on him for the movie?

I felt that it did serve a point: it showed how he disdained human conventions such as modesty and shame.

both very true... and I agree it served a purpose... but still, you'd think that they could at the very least do something look focus on his face... you know like most people are doing in normal life anyway... I don't hold conversations looking at someone's crotch (well typically )

And my most recent foray into full male nudity-Watchmen

that nudity was pointless... they did it for shock value only... even I was thinking "damnit, you've had enough penis on the screen"... and I really like penises, so that takes a lot for me to say

I've seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall too. First time I've actually seen a dick onscreen...(well besides porn ) that advanced the plot OK. (who hasn't broken up with their partner while naked?!)
I've seen The Bank Job. Naked chicks. Also advanced the plot a bit. (one of the characters went to a brothel)
And my most recent foray into full male nudity-Watchmen well, not really.
As for female nudity, I've seen bits and pieces here and I've noticed that male nudity isn't really presented in a sexual situation i.e. Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Peter being naked because he's been home alone, Dr. Manhattan not wearing clothes, whereas most female nudity is presented in more of a sexual form. Your thoughts?

One interesting fact: Usually when an actor's boobs/penis/whatever is revealed on screen - it's a double.

Unless it's Viggo Mortensen. He's not shy.

Though I admit... it depends on the delivery of it.. I remember seeing some full-frontal scenes in "A room with a view" but they weren't really sexual, just the guys acting like dorks and streaking... but I liked the fact that they showed the men but didn't make the women strip.


Sometimes I think the guys who complain forget... us gals watch movies too, not just them... just because THEY want to see naked chicks doesn't mean we all want to.

Though, sometimes... sexy doesn't need to be naked. Hell check out the pants on Neal McDonough in Tin Man. wyatt cain's tight pants. Yeah his pants were a bit tight up top for most of the movie. but sometimes it's really ok to leave things to the imagination. too bad hollywood hasn't figured it out yet.

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

The Statue of David draws crowds because it was sculpted by one of the most famous artists of all time and is based off of David and Goliath. I think Greenday is referring to the average male form to be honest. The Statue of David has the stereotypical male form that you'd see in movies. To add, I've noticed that for some reason people don't care about nudity be it male or female if it's a work of art. The mass media on the other hand is a different story.

On topic, usually a lot of men have some strange sense of insecurity when it involves a penis. Especially when you're watching a movie with one's g/f like in the OP for example. Amusingly though, I wouldn't be surprised if that same guy who is bitching about it is watching porn with his girlfriend. To me it's just mindsets.

I don't care about nudity male or female anyway. Too much worry and panic about it.

I think most men love a nice squishy boob to the face!

My girlfriend is quite "large". With a windup, she could hurt someone other than just herself with a boob to the face.

I think, given the various other threads around on this forum, that we all generally acknowledge that for true assessment and evaluation, such empirical testing needs to be done across a larger group of testers than merely 1...

I, too, can volunteer as a guinea pig (purely for academic research and credibility - of course)

[Greenday]

I'm available for empirical testing.

Thanks for taking one for the team. It must have been a hard decision.

[AFPheonix]

Well, as long as said boob doesn't look like these do (post weight loss, pre-cosmetic surgery)

I tried that once or twice. Didn't work so well.

For you, perhaps... How did the recipient take it?

And men can beat people with their hard weiners. I mean, I can TRY to teaboob someone, but since breasts aren't as hard as erect penises.....it's just not really as good as a guy taking his hard penis and thwapping it against his girlfriend's butt.

I don't know, I'm just odd. Teaboob. Ha ha. I tried that once or twice. Didn't work so well.
