Lack of Male Nudity in Hollywood Strikes Again

Lack of Male Nudity in Hollywood Strikes Again

With the new Fifty Shades Freed movie coming out, there was buzz that Jaime Dornan, aka, Christian Grey, would finally appear in all his naked glory instead of cut away shots of him almost exclusively wearing pants whilst having sex in the last film. The actor did oblige, and if you believe the stories, happily so...but you'll never see it on the big screen because all his full frontal scenes were cut by the director.

The director said, "...in the final cut, I'm being totally honest, it just didn't come off... Full frontal would have been a kind of deliberate cut, to see that for no reason. There's plenty of dailies where he's on, but it just didn't make the final cut. For dramatic reasons."

Um, isn't this a movie about two characters discovering each other through a fetishist version of sex? Who has sex with their pants pretty much entirely on? This is the part of Hollywood movies featuring sex scenes in general that drives me crazy. We can see a woman fully naked in every other scene, but showing half a second of a penis is just way too much and wouldn't serve any purpose? Then what purpose does it serve for female characters to be fully naked all the time either? I mean, once you've seen the Anastasia character naked in films one and two, you've seen her. And geezus, we've seen her front, back, side, everything, so if someone wants to talk about what is or isn't driving the story line...that.

Lack of Male Nudity in Hollywood Strikes Again

If you're going to make a movie where the content is sex based, then make it that. Regular people have sex without clothes on or at least not covering their privates. I think it's far less about what women don't want to see or can't handle and more about the same usual over objectification of women in movies, especially those of a sexual nature which has been going on long before there was even a Hollywood to speak of.

We're a society that has made it so common in films to see a woman naked, that it's barely even the least bit shocking to anyone who routinely watches R rated films whether the content be sex based or not, but how many films ever feature a man fully naked, and not only that, but for the same amount of time on screen of his female counterparts? Kudos to Jaime for doing the scenes in the first place and not being "that guy" that's okay doing a nude film as long as he doesn't have to do nudity, but it really is about time that movies about sex specifically paint a more truthful portrait of what goes on behind closed doors instead of this lopsided reality where men apparently always wear a full suit and tie to have sex.

  • A woman's tits are allowed in R rated movies, not her genitals. In so-called female nude scenes, the actress (or body double) is usually wearing a merkin. There's never actual pussy shown.

  • Interesting

  • I don't want to see a naked male or a naked female, gross

  • Everybody talks about the kinkey sex, he owned a helicopter, no one mentions a helicopter, I'm old a d fat and fly, but I bet I could pull of I was a billionaire with my own helicopter, that's what turns women money. It's based on a yrie story, I bet on teal life Christian Grey was an ugly day cunt like Peter Stringfelow and he only got laid because he was rich
    I wish I had a billion quid and my own helicopter.

  • there was a penis in the tim and eric movie

  • Girls don't mind looking at naked women, guys don't like looking at naked men. You can only compare the vag to the dick. Seeing tits and ass is the same as seeing a guy with his shirt off tbh.

  • Hollywood should be burned with napalm. Who can watch this filth?

  • I demand more male nudity

  • guys keep your clothes on please l have my own body

  • This movie is meant for women, women are generally not aroused by the male body naked, while are actually aroused by naked women (seriously you can look it up) . The lack of sexual attraction women have for the male body is why this happened in this movie

    • You're wrong unless you mean bisexual or homosexual women. Don't believe fake statistics. There are straight women and straight men.

    • Not statistics, actual scientific peer reviewed studies, women who claimed to be straight where aroused by naked women to a far higher degree than they where aroused by men. Also lesbian porn is by far the most popular genre to the female demographic according to pornhub.

  • Seems to be less nudity in general.

  • Nobody wants to see a naked male (women included)

    • And... that's where you are wrong my friend.

    • @Hurlyburly He is just a little bit very wrong... lol

    • I'm really not... Women can downvote me here all they like. But when their all watching lesbian porn because male bodies can't turn them on and when they're checking other girls out in public (these are researched facts), their actions say otherwise.

    • Show All
  • Yeah, they lack of real sexual intercourse too

  • Beautiful thenks endl you :-)

  • You should be happy because people want to see valuable things.
    Vagina and frmale body are valuable
    Penis is not valuable.

    • It's because most directors and producers are males so for THEM that is what's valuable. For us women we would rather watch a handsome male

    • This movie is meant for women, women are generally not aroused by the male body naked, while are actually aroused by naked women (seriously you can look it up) . The lack of sexual attraction women have for the male body is why this happened in this movie. Lesbian porn is the most popular genre of porn to women for a reason

  • Poor straight women. Being objectified by the media and not even getting to see the bits they enjoy

  • Blame Women... Hollywood Has Had Polls And Asked Women How They Feel About Male Full Frontal Nudity, The Majority Of Women Has Said They Don’t Want To See It, It Is Better Left To Imagination...

    • Totally agree.

  • Thanks, but I don’t want to see another mans junk, same as my girlfriend doesn’t want me seeing another girls junk.

  • no one likes to see naked guys and that's a fact. Girls fun bits is something we can all enjoy

    • This is true. There is a reason why nudity is illegal in places like Indiana.

  • For real. Bring on the dongs.

    • go watch porn?

    • I do. I just liked the assonance. On a serious note, I did see Shame with Michael Fassbender and think the nudity was well done. We need to stop treating men’s bodies like they’re something off limits. Showing a nude man, especially when he’s soft, really highlights his vulnerability in certain scenes. Showing him briefly during sex is just realistic. Why are we ashamed of the human body?
