Why Is There More Female Nudity Than Male Nudity in Film?

1 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 21:04
and when there is male nudity it's usually just ass, which doesn't really count
yet there is a lot of full frontal female nudity

Simple answer: Because female nudity sells, while male nudity repels.

that's the obvious answer because guys watch movies and naturally they default to females only.

Nudity is nudity imo. If a person has a nice body gender doesn't matter.

The nude female form is infinitely more appealing than the nude male form. Most women will agree, except for the jealous fatties.

Repels? I mean dude or chick I am down as long as they are hot. Bros have beautiful bodies too I got no problem with ass or wiener

Why wouldn't there be? Females are hot, brah, and boobs are the greatest work of art of all times.

Boobs are great. But plenty of women don't have good bodies. And plenty of men do. Men also don't have to worry about sagging breasts, stretch marks, cellulite, cesarean scars etc.

Because we live in a profoundly misogynistic world that views women as commodities -- that's why.

Because you don't consider male toplessness nudity. If you did it'd be more common than female nudity.
20 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 21:44
that's because male toplessness isn't nudity

Neither is female nudity then, and the result is the same. #freethenipple.

Imprecise language. I meant to say sexists and yes the majority is sexist.

usually if a girl is seen topless, they get embarrassed and feel exposed, if a guy is seen topless they don't give a fuck

female breasts are an intimate part

A) Men generally prefer/care more about nudity in films than women.

B) There are more straight men than gay/bi men.

The same reason why Playboy magazine was successful, while Playgirl magazine was not. Men are generally more turned on by what they see. Women are generally more turned on by what they hear.
30 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 22:04
Those are commonly held misconceptions.

Again, this is all down to a profoundly misogynistic world in which women are taught that their sexuality is pretty much the only valuable asset they have. Hollywood (controlled by men) reinforces that view because it controls the supply of movies, which then gives an erroneous view of demand.

I suggest you start reading jezebel dot com or slate dot com's double x articles/blogs to get a better understanding of how the world is for women.

Ladies and gents, I nominate this for the dumbest post of the week on the internet.

The terrifying thing, however, is that yes, there are actually real human beings in this world that click on jezebel and read the utter trash they have written on there.

Maybe because penises are genuinely ugly. As Elaine from Seinfeld once said, an attractive woman's body is a work of art, while the male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around, like a Jeep...

People are scared of penises.
It's ridiculous.

I love penises.
And love seeing them in film.

There isn't that much full-frontal female nudity in Hollywood movies--there's a lot less than there USED to be or than there is in Europe. There is even less male frontal nudity, but that might partly be because males can't hide their actual genitalia with a crotch patch or a "merkin" like females can and often do in "full-frontal nude scenes".

Males are probably MORE likely to go shirtless than females--it's just not considered nudity.

Bare butts do count and that is pretty equal. Your whole premise that there is significantly more female nudity is simply faulty.

What amuses me is that men constantly say women have beautiful bodies. But
what they really mean is women who are slim with perfect proportions and no freckles, moles, scars, tattoos, big feet etc have beautiful bodies. Why not just admit that that's what you really mean?

Now there are men who are open minded and like different types of bodies. But most want to see a "perfect" body nude.

slim

never understood this one. I admit, obese women (or men for that matter) are unattractive, I think that most people can agree with that, but what is more appealing about a thin woman than one with some extra pounds eludes me. More cushion for the pushin'. Sorry I had to.

Hollywood movies show women graphically mutilating male genitals for the purpose of comedy or revenge. There's almost no female nudity at all.
50 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 22:44
You're referring to Games of Thrones, I'm guessing. Haven't seen it. That and Magic Mike and Shame are held as examples of how we're positively INUNDATED by male nudity. It's the other way around, though. There's practically no male nudity and tons of female nudity. It's why I've just about stopped watching modern movies. Yet this is still not enough for men. ANY men, even showing their chest (for some reason fine in locker rooms), is being subjected to non stop male nudity; and women have to be naked, head to crotch, 24/7, for admission of female nudity. No dressed women ever or female nudity doesn't exist and never existed.
51 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 22:46
Agreed. If you don't see the beauty in a dudes body then you have some kind of mental block (closet case, jealous, 5 years old). Being a body builder I've always admired junk and all. But I'm also bi so I guess I have no choice?

Men full frontal just is not as beautiful as the female body. Plus there are myths about sizes and such.

In the end it's all a social issue people are dumb and worried about a lot of things in the world that don't truly matter. What happened to health fitness and the love of art and our planet?
55 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 22:54
There was Seinfeld episode that I was speaking from. Plus you have to say men are unfairly judged by size or lack of it. Women are only judged by grooming down there.

Why do men keep saying that.

Why do men keep saying that.

Women put up with constant critiques about breast size, butt, thighs, cellulite, etc., but do it whatever is thought of them. But there's every excuse in the book for why men can't do what women do constantly. I don't know how men ever get laid. We'll find out what your size is one way or another.

For the same reason that Playboy is more popular than Playgirl, generally men are more about the surface than are generally women.

I think its because woman don't care much to see their leaidng man nude. We love handsome man and see their nice bodies but we don't have to see them nude for that.

While we woman love eye candy we are attracted to different things than man even phyisically. We dont find attractive full frontals as you guys do with woman

A lot of men have a strange aversion to seeing a dick, even if just for a second, which I think is ridiculous. It's part of the human form, if it repulses you, kill yourself.

I know right! I know people who are A. repulsed by male genitals, or B. repulsed by homosexuality, and I always bring up the psychological "you're probably repressing your own urges" type thing. They think it's ridiculous, but I really don't see how people can be more repulsed by those things than gore (I'm not repulsed by gore, but it's an understandable fear), so it seems to me they're using a defense mechanism to hide the fact that they are not repulsed at all.
68 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 23:32
"But I'm a straight guy, I don't want to look at penises" - nobody's saying you have to be attracted to them

Maybe straight women don't want to look at naked women either. But oh no they're not allowed to complain about that because "everyone loves naked women" (it doesn't bother me, btw, but just saying).

It's self shaming too on mens' part. Fair enough if you don't find naked men attractive. But there's no need to go on about how repulsive mens' bodies are. Especially since, they're not!
69 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-11 23:36
"But I'm a straight guy, I don't want to look at penises"

Terrible argument. People are just so close-minded. Rather than asking why they don't want to see male genitals, they just assume that they shouldn't because it's become the social norm. Lame.

Because it's simply more appealing, especially since it seems us males watch many more movies than females do and generally get into movies more on the whole and naturally guys don't want to see other guys nude.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. You should avoid nudity anyway seeing as you're religious

I think he has a point I mean there is more males on this board than females doesn't some females don't love films but on a whole I think it's mostly men.
74 Name: Anonymous : 2015-10-12 00:13
I'd say it's a fact that more men have an interest in film than women. This would be the answer to the question. Since more movies are targeted at men than women, producers are more likely to advocate putting something in the film appealing to the target audience, than something that is not.
