Nudity In Film

The hope of this group is to create an extensive film library that showcases nudity in a positive and non-sexual way.

Nude when not required

Return to Discussions

I have read that some men when told they could wear a thong for a nude rear scene, refuse because they feel more comfortable nude than wearing almost nothing.
Similarly, some actors and actresses don't wear a robe between takes of nude scenes because they feel more exposed by dressing and undressing than remaining nude.

Consider Vermont.don't wear a robe between takes of nude scenes because they feel more exposed by dressing and undressing than remaining nude.Vermont has no state-wide anti-nudity law. However, it's illegal to get undressed outside where you can be seen -- even if nudity is permissible in that location. Disrobing is considered more sexual than merely being nude.

If you're outside and decide to get nude, you must hide behind a tree or rock or something to get undressed. Or do it in your car. Or arrive nude. But you can't strip nude out in public.

I would suspect that many people do find seeing someone disrobe more sexual than seeing someone who is already nude.
Does Oregon have the same rule?

I think soI would suspect that many people do find seeing someone disrobe more sexual than seeing someone who is already nude.Does Oregon have the same rule?but I'm not certain. It just makes sense.

It's one thing to be nude and something totally different to put on a striptease show.

Back before San Francisco had an anti-nudity law, it was illegal to disrobe in public. Do it in your car or somewhere else -- just not out in public.

RE:Nude when not required

I was recently on a nude cruise where passengers were required to be clothed while in port. Clothing could be minimal but was required. I was introduced to a pareo as appropriate men's clothing and thought it was pretty good idea; about the same coverage as my kilt but without the weight of the kilt. I bought a pareo in one of our ports of call only to discover that I had purchased something that was much more sheer than t appeared when folded in the packaging. I found wearing it very disturbing and the first thing I did in the next port of call was to purchase one that was mostly opaque. I was very uncomfortable wearing the very sheer one and felt much more exposed wearing it than being completely nude. Perhaps not everyone would feel that way but it was certainly my experience.

I feel more nude wearing just socks or just a t-shirt than being entirely nude. Wearing both socks and a t-shirt would probably be the same. I've never worn any clothing that was very sheer but could imagine it would make me feel more nude than actually being nude.

On the other hand, if that sheer garment was considered appropriate attire, then I'd opt for that instead of one made of more substantial fabric.

Someone on another board posted that he lived on the Canary Islands and found it to be nude tolerant in many places. When he had to wear something, a pareo would usually suffice. On the rare occasions where he had to be fully dressed, he wore a kilt. The last time he posted he hadn't worn shorts or pants in over 2 years and had gotten rid of all but 1 pair of each.

Same here, that is why I rarely do it.
Beside, my crotch and rear get cold first, then feet, then upper torso, and lower legs last.
