the male flaccid penis can be shown full frontal with an R rating.
Once upon a time I worked in Hollywood.
Anyone see Tom Criuses dick in All the right moves?
Tom Berenger in At Play in the Field of the Lord?
Leo Dicaprio did nudes as well.
Guess it is all in the past.

Yes, but even then the nudity was brief. Ah, the penis. The holy grail of television and film...

Yes, there are many European films with male nudity even showing erections! I am sometimes shocked by what they allow at the cinema (and on TV) over here!

this may have been addressed in an earlier post, but do male actors in non-porn films get excited in sex scenes. Is the sex simulated or really taking place. It seems in some scenes there is no place for the cock to go but inside. how do the the women actresses react to erections?

I think it's more because you aren't allowed to show male nudity in the US because of FCC standards? If you show it, it has to be a premium service (ala HBO) and then it's softcore....if it's erect, it becomes hardcore. Or something like that.

The FCC doesn't regulate the movie industry (or newspapers, magazines, books, newsletters, billboards, junk mail; telephone books); it regulates broadcast TV, radio, telephone systems, cable TV, satellite TV and radio, and the Internet--although it has voluntarily mostly kept out of content issues except broadcast radio and broadcast TV and has been told by court decisions to keep out of Internet content issues. So movie studios are caving in on male nudity to studio executives, real or imagined public opinion, and real or imagined reactions from movie theater operators, and/or the MPAA ratings board.

Solution: New movie rating system... G, PG, PG13, R, NC-17, and FF "Full Frontal!!" It's funny, in the early years of the ratings system, X-rated movies such as Midnight Cowboy (Winner, Best Picture, 1969), A Clockwork Orange (1971), and Last Tango in Paris (1973), could win Oscar nominations and awards. The amount of violence we allow in films under lesser ratings now never makes much sense compared to how little tolerance the "system" has for viewing the human body unclothed.

I suppose male actors would not want their genitalia on film for the same reasons most people don't want to ... it's a private area of their body that they don't want to have on public display.

Many female actors also have non-nudity stipulations. Jessica Alba comes to mind. There are probably many female actors that would be willing to appear barechested, but not show their pubic area.

Nowadays, more than anything else, they (males and females) don't want to wind up on some "naked celebrity" website, where the only portion of their body of work displayed is three frames where they come out of a shower.

As far as the getting-excited-during-a-sex-scene I would imagine they would think it unprofessional. Besides, it's exhausting shooting a film. Set up the lights, sound, do a take. A grip drops a coffee cup. Another take. Car horn ... another take. Someone coughs. Another take. Get another angle. Adjust the lighting again. Do another take over and over and over. Director doesn't like it. Do another take. Someone forgot the 20 amp fuses. 30 minutes of sitting around on overtime while grips dig in the trailer for the right fuses. These fuses don't fit. Dig some more. Maddening.

I think that male-frontal in films is such a different thing from breast-size, nudity in films. (Not porn, films that get rated/shown/marketed, etc.)
Men naked, frontal, seems to say: "If we show a naked man, in whatever state of arousel, in whatever state of his penis, in whatever state the film/story/photography is, ,,, it adds more worry to all them. Let's face it, a woman's breasts are so much more simply accepted, in main-stream film, than a guy's dick.
(Perhaps because there are so many variations in a guy's dick, but that's a porn-question, , ,perhaps...)
Whatever the male stars show/or don't, it, as with the ladies, should be in context with the storyline, or the Reason,,,as if we are not voyuers, but watching "Life", as filmed, by LIFE.:redface: :confused: :smile: bigtoad

I've fantacized a movie about a group of four studious male college friends who aren't very wild. One of them, a heretofore very modest journalism student, is assigned to interview for an article some fellow students who frequent a nearby nudist resort or nude beach. He does the interviews and article, learning about innocent non-sexual nude recreation and becoming intrigued with the notion in the process. He doesn't just want to see naked women, but feels a (strange to him) child-like desire to just let it all hang out in unashamed freedom. He confides this feeling to his freinds and they discusses it. They mull it for a while and decide together to take the plunge and go. These guys, most of whom have barely been seen naked in passing in the dorm showers, struggle with a lot of doubt and reluctance (not unlike the guys in The Full Monty) and worry about an erection, but they go through with it, greatly enjoy the experience, and find a whole new world opened up to them. My imaginary movie features abundant full frontal nudity but would qualify for an R rating, because there's no sex in it. Moreover, it would be excellent exposure and promotion for male nudity in American cinema and the concept of nudism in general. It would certainly bring both to the fore in the public debate!

I think there is little male nudity in movies because straight women aren't as intrigued by the male body as straight men are intrigued by the female body.

Because even on a big 40 foot movie screen a small penis is still a small penis.

yah, but it did wonders for colin ferrel. while he's above average, i hardly think he's "well hung" like all those chicks were claiming he was. the 40 foot screen does add a bit of distortion to it

This must be a North American phenomena; European movie makers do not have the US homopanic of the Hollywood system. American actresses only get stardom status by obliging the directors and producers by taking their clothes off; American actors get there by being a regular, establsihment thinking guys, or so it would seem.

I would guess that this is very much mainstream North American thinking. The French and Italians are blase about cinema nudity, the British have a good laugh at the absurdity of it, and I suspect US cinema goers squirm in their seats with excitement, embarrassment, disapproval at the mere sight of a male buttock. This side of the Atlantic a straight man is no more bothered by the sight of another guy's "wobbly bits" than he is by the sight of his own. But the biggest laugh is the so called US straight male's attraction to lesbianism and the viewing of its intimacies. That is something which still puzzles the old world.

because an exposed penis would destroy the world

just look what a partially exposed nipple did

btw, time heals all wounds. slowly it seems to me i'm seeing more naughty bits being shown, casually, in the movies (or are they still talkies?). and finally too, wife and i both have pined for the day when it wouldn't be a big deal. in fact just saw "the last king of scotland" and you've got james mcavoy showing his privates in a great scene.

one reason guy actors are reluctant is that they know so many will be judging them and their manhood based solely on size as well, look how many times its happened in this thread already ;-)

While the three of us are comfortable being naked with each other & in front of others, wondered why celebrities such as Clooney, Crowe, Pitt, Diesel, Bloom and others rarely show their bodies in film.

Vin Diesel has posed nude many times in the past. He is extremely comfortable with his body.

Every once in a while some of those photographs go up for sale on Ebay.

There was one spectacular photo where he was completely nude with his hands over his cock, and water was dripping down his body onto the background drop cloth.

Contrary to popular opinion, he isn't gay. He is very gay friendly, possibly in part because he comes from a bohemian/artistic kind of family and grew up in the village; but I know from personal experience that he is a complete pussy hound. And he's hung.

I think male nudity in film is dealt with in different ways depending on where the film or tv show is being made. In European and Canadian shows or films the male side of the nudity is more or less treated as an everyday thing and not something to be freaked out about. I in fact remember a time when I saw a french high school film, and was shocked that instead of cutting back to the next scene when the guys go to the locker room to shower after practice, they kept filming them undressing to being totally nude with everything showing, then filmed them sopaing up and showering all in the same room. For someone who was not used to seeing how a european film treated male nudity as such a non issue was quite unnerving, but at the same time quite liberating in a sense.

Michael Caine once said that the reason he never did frontal shots was because the sight of the cock would be a distraction; the movie goer would be thinking "Micheal Caine" and not the character he was playing.
