clothes are artificial?i think not

Some bodies may look better than others but the debate here is not the aesthetics of nudity but whether or not nudity is this big evil thing which is criminalized in some societies ...

As for clothes they are totally artificial, meaning "man-made" and not natural. an invention of humans.

As far as nudity, I have zero problems with it.. I don't think young children should be exposed to sex in movies however.

It's art. Most films just throw it in to attract more people but I don't have a problem with it. Take eyes wide shut for example, the film is loaded with nudity but all the shots are so beautifully done. Then again, that's Kubrick for you but it just goes to show.

I fully support female nudity in movies. Male nudity, not so much.

In the pursuit of fairness, you can't have it both ways.

you actually can, since more females are generally seen nude on screen then males. that isn't a reflection of my own vote, just an observation. not that i mind female nudity

seriously tho...like the OP said, i think if it serves a purpose then it can be effectively used. to show it solely for the sake of showing it (ala the scenes of the girl in Hitman...altho it was still nice to see ) is just a cheap way to bring attention to your film.

I agree that is a fact, but that is not the point. Personal preferance for which gender one prefers to see on screen is a different question than that of support for nudity in movies. Nearly everyone, natually, has a preference, and that is all good. However, to display tolerance for your preference and not that of others is not in keeping with the concept of fairness IMHO.

yeh i understand that. my response was somewhat off topic from your statement since you were talking about people's opinions and i was talking about what we actually see. your mindset makes good sense though.

why don't you go outside nude on a -10 degree day and walk around awhile if humans do not need clothes.
