In Reply to: True. Plus, why do these comparisons of male vs female full frontal nudity always overlook this fine distinction.... posted by Dalton on February 12, 2004 at 20:55:59:
Here be dragons!Good grief, I gotta wonder about your relationships with women...
As for male nudity...
A man secure enough to be *emotionally* open (i.e. "vulnerable") can be very sexy. And yes...we like to look. Of course we do! A nice male body, all the male body, can be very sexy and pleasing to look at, on screen or otherwise. You think any pleasure women derive from looking at a nude male form comes from picturing "having it over" a man or "humiliating" him?????? That's sick. Worse, it's no *fun*.
Do you really think women don't notice those lovely, round, manly asses in business suits, footbal unis and tight jeans??? The boxes on male dancers? You think we're only looking at Johnny Depp's or Viggo Mortensen's *eyes*????? You don't think we want to see the whole monty? Ever?
I grant you, any old male dude just letting the family jewels hang out isn't necessarily erotic or appealing. (I've had quite enough Of Mr. Keitel, thank you.) Context is everything. I won't disagree that men and women react differently to visual sexual stimuli. But you are quite mistaken in saying women only rarely like make nudity in film.
Equality? Done right, hell yeah we like it. But not only do we almost never get it, it's usually not well done.
Bah, humbug.
