message: Can someone cite that there was nudity in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? I don't believe there was, however it did receive a PG13 rating and could have had extremely brief nudity. I haven't found anything on it at the moment so I'll put a citation needed mark on it. 71.225.125.176 11:57, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Huge American bias, I am hunting for something particular - the history of nudity on the BBC, but this article doesn't even mention the BBC or the UK. I love America but sometimes Wikipedia gives you the impression its the only country on earth. Yes, please change the name of the article to reflect its American subject.

message: I've removed this:
:Broadcast television is strictly controlled in the US, and that strictness has led to oddities such as gameshows about stripping where the contestants never fully undress and instead wear numerous layers of clothing.
Because it's useless, unless you actually mention the name of the gameshow! ~ Booyabazooka 06:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oddities 

message: "Sociologists and evolutional psychologists have suggested that violence serves as a substitute for sexuality in cultures that are sexually repressive, which gives greater meaning to the mantra: make love, not war."
This smacks of being POV to me, not because it yells at the reader about one side per se, but because it doesn't seem to belong. It would fit perfectly and be quite neutral on a page about evolutionary psychology or american sexuality, but on this page, it's too out of place to be doing anything but making a point. 
I'm marking the section POV until the paragraph can be rewritten or removed. --70.59.82.118 21:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV? 

message: This article has so many articles, that I felt compelled to create and account just to deal with it. 1. The article is written from an American viewpoint and this is an international encyclopedia. 2. Out of the four pictures on this page, three of them are women. The only male picture looks as if it will soon be removed. 3. Four pics are enough for this article, but some set amount of pics should be set, because if one isn't it will likely become nothing but a page of naked pictures. 4. The famous list seems to me like it might also grow exponentially. Would it be possible to move the scenes in the list into the text? — Naraine 21:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Was notable in that the actors and actresses almost all appear nude, and several appear nude for most or all of their screen time. See: imdb including lead actress Rae Dawn Chong, who is nude (aside from body paint) for her entire screen time. 
Certainly it had as much or more on-screen nudity than many of the contemporary films listed. What is the criteria for listing? Need there have been controversy over the film? --Leperflesh 23:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Quest for Fire]] (La Guerre du feu), 1981

message: The movie list is truly excessive.  I cannot imagine that there are more than maybe a dozen films that had significant impacts to the concept of nudity in film; it's senseless to list every movie that shows any nakedness.  I think that every entry in this list needs some explanation of what makes the nudity significant, and should have a minimum of one reference to back that up.  My suggestion would be to move the whole list to the talk page, and add entries back individually when they are improved.  Thoughts? ~ Booya Bazooka 16:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that is a sensible idea, and came here independenttly to say the same thing. A list of famous nude scences should contain example such as woman in love but not examples such as Quadrophenia. For nudity to be famous is should have been talked about at the time.

replies: text: The proliferation of lists in Wikipedia is a phenomenon I've seen debated on many pages.  Either we wants lots of extensive lists or we don't--and the yeses are winning.  The public seems to demand them, so what's wrong with giving them what they want?  If we stamp them out, then other Web sites will provide them and draw away our readers.  There is nothing inherently wrong with an encyclopedia having lists--they all do, pretty much.  If I'm doing research on nudity in film, I'm going to read encyclopedias.  I'll want lots of examples.  Why not provide them for such researchers?  Am I saying that every entry on this list must stay?  No, you might have a case for deleting maybe 5% of them.  But that won't satisfy you 2, it seems.  What we could do, though, is move the list to a separate article, maybe "List of movies with nudity", with a cross reference in this article.  That is often done in cases like this.

It just gets lazy with the title "1960s to present".
But there were many films of the 1980s with nudity, that even families went to see.
I would like to see a list.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.109.170 (talk) 21:20, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nudity in films of the 1980s? 

message: The paragraph on nudity in anime is extremely unreliable. The breakdown of the taboo in the 60's and 70's is very vague, the two examples given show little significance other than that the editor apparently saw them.
Something vital is missing as well, which concerns what body parts of what people can be shown.  For instance, GeGeGe No Kitaro(1968-)has prepubscent male genitalita, Doraemon (1979-1985) has full frontal nudity of children from boh genders, and adult breasts and buttocks are often shown in Dragonball(1980's).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.82.88.199 (talk) 12:40, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Since you mentions the boy with erect penis in Novecento, it would be fail ro mention also the Swedish film Barnens Ö (1980). After having seen a naked woman, a boy undresses and starts to masturbate, with his erect penis shown. It is an arty film which won some prizes. There is a wikipedia article about it. I think it was shown in Swedish schools after the teatrical release was over, but I can't mention any source for the statement.

replies: text: Good point. I've removed the word "direct" from the sentence. I'd additionally like to propose that that the whole of the paragraph about beach party films (the last para of the "Nudie-cuties" section) be removed from this article. These films had their actors in swimwear instead of nude. As it says in the beach party films article: "the films never featured any sex scenes or nudity".

message: sorry guys, if I bother you with a question: I think, I remember having seen (many years ago) a japanese movie classic showing nudity without taboos and with pictures of breathtaking beauty (like japanese woodcuts). if my memory doesn't deceive me it told the story of a brothel and its geishas involving a homeless man whose erotic needs are taken care of for free by the geishas... I'd be grateful if you knoweledgeable people helped me to remember the title and author - if it's not a phantom of whishful thinking... ;-) if the movie exists (and I don't mean "In the Realm of Senses", I think...) it would deserve its place in the article... thanx!
