NUDITY


So this question does not exclusively pertain to this particular film, but to all films showing female frontal nudity in general.

Why do the female actresses who appear nude on camera always have bush? In this film, the girl who appears nude has some bush going on. I feel the general trend for the young women of today is to shave or at least trim their nether-regions. But I have never seen a shaved girl in a non-porn film. I understand that for nudity involving older women/older times a bush would be accurate. But I have never been with a girl during these times that sported a full-on vag beard. Why is this? Is it becasue showing a shaved vag would be to risque? In other words, is the hair necessary becasue showing the actual labia in a mainstream movie would be considered too porn-esque? Anyone have any insight into this?

---and she sported the full thick italian bush she was born with.---

You understand the entire point of the merkin is that you can't tell it apart from natural bush unless you get up close and personal, don't you?

From wikipedia:

In American cinema, merkins are currently used in films where they are worn by actors and actresses to prevent inadvertent exposure of the genitalia during nude or semi-nude scenes. If no merkin were worn, it would be necessary to restrict the shot to exclude the genital area; with the merkin in place brief flashes of the crotch can be used if necessary. The presence of the merkin protects the actor from inadvertently performing 'full-frontal' nudity (their contract may specifically require that nipples and genitals be covered in some way), and can help ensure that the film achieves a more "acceptable" MPAA rating.[2]

Sienna Miller played a hippie in a flick recently, but was walking around perfectly groomed. They added a thick bush digitally to match the late '60s grooming (or lack thereof) norms.

dude, never, and I mean never believe anything on wikipedia. EVERY time Monica has gone full frontal she's sported a huge bush. even in some of her modeling photos she's sported bush. i don't get why guys are so offended or tunred off by a woman who has a bush

I'm a male, and I trim down below. It feels sooo much better!

Yes Jewish-Bagel, you are correct. The reason why this absurd and unatural situation of always showing women with bush occurs is to HIDE FEMALE GENITALIA. In many cases the female actresses are actually shaved in real-life but they are forced to wear a "merkin patch" (a fake pubic hair patch) to cover the area to prevent any of their genitalia from being seen. It is all due to the corrupt, sexist MPAA that does not allow female genitalia to be shown in R-rated movies. They will allow male genitalia to be shown, but not female genitalia. This is a completely unfair and SEXIST double-standard. A film can show a man's penis and testicles, even in close-up detail, and still be given an R-rating. But if a film shows actual female genitalia, the vulva or anus, it is given an NC-17 rating. NC-17 is box office death since most theaters won't run NC-17 movies. So it is a form of economic censorship.

This is a SEXUALLY DISCRIMINATORY rating policy. Why can the genitalia of one gender be shown in R-rated films but not the other gender? That is sexist and unfair. In the film "Bruno" a close-up of a SEMI-ERECT PENIS was shown wagged in front of the camera and this was still only given an R-rating!! Many R-rated movies have shown penises and testicles, but none have clearly shown a vagina. How come the penis can be shown but not a vagina? Filmakers and the public need to fight this sexist double-standard by filing a class-action LAWSUIT against the MPAA and SUE THEM for having a sexually-discriminatory rating policy. A film's rating should be determined by what is shown, NOT by the gender of who is showing it. If men's penises can be shown, then women's vaginas should be allowed to be be shown too. Genitalia should be given the SAME rating, regardless of whether it is male or female!

sometimes they clip a fake 'bush' over the top of it, to hide the actual genitalia - for modesty reasons sometimes I believe.

i agree. also to add my 2 cents, I'm glad they still have bushes in movies. I wish bushes were the going American trend. I really don't want to feel like I'm looking at a pre-pubescent girl, but rather a grown assed woman, but that's just me

reply

Can't agree. My 14 & 15-year-old daughters both have full bushes and display them at every opportunity - which I encourage.

so you are saying that you enjoy seeing your 14 and 15 year old daughters naked? that is really sick. you are a pedophile and you need help. seriously, get psychiatric help immediately.
