I know for some people the differences seem to be difficult to grasp, but it is something I would have expected from a website like this one. Take Wanderlust for example, or Take This Waltz. The nudity displayed in them was not sexual at all, and it was always part of a character. Scenes like these don't objectify anyone; on the contrary, they make the characters more human and relatable. Imho, movies need more scenes like these - way more of them, and of both genders of course. Until even Hassan up there realizes there is nothing shameful about the human body.

Each female nude scene should include full close up of the female vaginal area. It seems to be perfectly okey to show male genetalia for extended periods of time in close up while this could not be said of the female version of nudity. Movies containing male nudity has a lower age restriction than movies with female nudity. When male nudity is shown, it is mostly in a comedic and belitteling fashion while with female nudity it is often to celebrate the beauty of female form. So yes, I agree there should be more equality. A move such as Showgirls, which does not show the female genital area, was rated nc17 however, I could make a long list of movies that shows up close shots of male genitals, with only a 16 age restriction. Female nudity is mostly shown in a respectful way whereas male nudity is shown to make fun of the male sex organ. Personally, I believe one can not fix one wrong with another as this always leads to consequenses. I believe exploitation of the male nude will have far reaching negative consequences And nobody realizes this. I agree that there should definately by more equality.
