This is probably (okay it is) sexist but I don't care. I am sick and tired of the amount of male nudity that is starting to pop up in films.

Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I was spoiled as a lad, hitting age 12-13 around 1992, right when the cable company offered my father free Cinemax for a few years for some reason or another. Those late night Cinemax movies contributed a lot to my growth and development as a man.;)

What could those movies be counted on? Bare breasts, which were just outstanding to a 12/13 year old. Female butts. And if you caught the right episode of Emmanuelle, maybe even a crotch shot. If Delia Shepard was involved, you could count on a lesbian scene. For you teenage whippersnappers who are scoffing right now, keep in mind that the Internet barely existed in its present form, and we sure as hell didn't have anything faster than dial-up. No, late night Skineman was the way to go in those days.

You grow older. You start dating. Broadband connections and Internet porn render Skinemax obsolete. But there's still that special connection in your heart, and every once in awhile, you flip over to Comcast's free movies section and are delighted to see that they still run things like Cheerleader beach and Gas Pump Girls. You may not watch them, but it's just good to know that those movies still exist somewhere.

Things were just fine the way they were. But now, what the hell is going on in Hollywood. First, Boogie Nights tests the waters with that fake Mark Wahlberg scene. Then, Borat assaults my eyes with his naked wrestling with another man. Next, my wife and I watch "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and though I was forewarned, there was way too much of that guy from "How I Met your Mother" in there.

Yesterday, we decide to finally watch the Hangover, in no small part because people have been raving about it here. So I'm greeted with male ass for the first ten minutes, but Heather Graham sort of saves the day. We laugh, we think the movie is funny, then a naked asian guy jumps out of a trunk. Bam!!! More full frontal, even if this was one actor who probably should have declined the role. I tried to get over it, laughed some more, and then, during the end credits, am I really being treated to photos of an old lady going down on the pudgy dude? Seriously, that was necessary?

No, I won't have anymore of this. Men are disgusting naked, women are beautiful. They need to cut this **** out and get back to what made movies with nudity good, the female aspect. They need to take a cue from Shannon Tweed, Shannon Whirry, and all the rest from the late night Hall of Fame. To understand that this industry, nay, this entire country, was founded upon the premise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of female T&A.

Thank you for your time.

You disappoint me KH. For a man who is all about dating "9's or better" or whatever your standard is, I'd think you'd be quick to agree. Consider me shocked to find you agreeable with this trend.


Don't ever watch Walk Hard!

The title of that film scares me, in the context of this thread. Please tell me it's not John C. Reilly.

The last thing I want to see is some other guys privates, but I dont nearly see it in movies as often as I see women's goodies.

I guess I look at it as a situation where the good outweighs the bad.

And it's 8's or better for the record. :silly:

Just remember what Caligula did for the porn industry. As it's poularity lagged a little bit, along came a film where the prerequisit for the males was "be well endowed." That completely changed the porn industry...or so I've heard. Thanks to that film, male nudity has been becoming more and more common. In old porn, did they even show much of the guy?...

Well, what starts in porn winds up in Basic Instinct winds up in lower budget skinemax...same thing happened with male nudity it just took a while because men were perceived to be the primary consumers, and it was men making hte decisions about what makes it in the film (producers didn't realy want to see the soldiers soluting either I suspect). Now people have realized the "fairer sex" like a peek too:laugh:, and they spend.

No, it's not him. But that really doesn't make it any better.

And I also suffered thru Bruno when my wife decided to rent it. Suffice to say, I think I'm done with Sacha Cohen movies for a while until he decides to wear pants for at least 75% of his films, minimum.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was forgivable the first time. Almost funny, if awkward. Doing it a 2nd time toward the end? No thank you.

I'm on board with ending male nudity in films, especially full-frontal. Naked women are hot. Naked men are an awkward funny at best, and even that's rare. Like Will Ferrel in Old School. It was brief enough male nudity, and not full frontal, to get a laugh the first time.

i can cure you of this.

go watch the complete series of Oz, and then watch Borat. You will no longer think there is too much male nudity in modern movies.

No its not him thankfully! Horrible, both on the nudity and the actual movie. Bruno is another one you wouldn't want to see.

Okay, a few things here. One, I have no idea who Caligula is, and when I watch porn (much less frequently since I got married) it's pretty much lesbian only.

Second, Basic Instinct rules.

Third, I'm actually interested in how true that is. I have a few women friends who are straight as can be, their blood gets pumping as much as any other woman when Matthew McConag...McDonag...when Wooderson from Dazed and Confused takes his shirt off. But it's a waist up thing for them. The full body thing isn't a big turn on for them, and it's not just one woman who I've heard say this.

I've heard about Oz, but thanks for the warning.

I'm not even sure what the first part of this means. The second part was pretty much my exact response to the pictures.

Oh piss off and stop ruining my fun crusade;)
