Still, here in the year 2013 and almost 2014, filmmakers, producers, networks and actors guilds, there remains an almost puritanic squeemishness about casual, non-sexual nudity in the Big Screen and on television.
It's to the point that if a scene calls for nudity it is either reduced to a mere flash or there are other elements included in the shot such as strategically placed objects (SPOs) or even pixelation. What gives?
Seems there was an era in film when not much of a fuss was made about a scene that included even the most casual instance of non-sexual nudity but that was up until just within the past 15 years or so when things changed an became so much more conservative.
But that said, would you welcome and/or encourage more casual, non-sexual nudity in a theatrical film or perhaps even on a favourite TV show? If so, in what contexts do you believe casual, non-sexual nudity could integrate well with a storyline or character set and how should it all be presented?
