Do you think it is unfair that they only show Naked Women in movies?

It is not right.

Not that I want Male Nudity. I DONT THINK THEY SHOULD SO ANY NUDITY.
 
There’s plenty of male nudity in R rated cinema as well.

Not sure where you’re going with this or where you came up with this idea…

I think the Sistine chapel has equal opportunity nudity.

Agreed. Nudity is a fact of life and leads to the facts of life. 🙂

Nudity in and of itself isn’t bad. Sometime it advances the plot like the shower scene in Schindlers list. Or the charcoal sketch scene in titanic. The problem is gratuitious nudity usually involving unnecessary sex scenes.
 
Is it unfair? No, plenty of male nudity is in movies too.
Sinful? Of course.
 
Male nudity often makes scene continuity more difficult as they tend to have a less consistent appearance
 
So, the solution to one evil is two evils? In the spiritual realm, nudity is associated with the demonic, the occult.
 
jdavani used the term gratuitous, it is important term in the discussion to understand. I’ve seen many a film where the nudity was inherent to the plot line and was done is a tasteful manner. And I’ve seen many a movie where the nudity is simply there to titillate, hence gratuitous.
Nudity in art will always be considered by the overly scrupulous as inherently evil. The male and female body is inherently good, created by God Himself. How one reacts to, or “uses” such visualization is where the possible “fault” lies.
 
It’s just a human body, I mean I wouldn’t turn up to mass in the nude but I don’t see what’s inherently evil about the human body.
 
I’ve seen European movies - not porn, legitimate movies - with totally naked men running around.
it looked about as silly as totally naked women running around.
I guess I like some mystery to life. I much prefer it when both sexes have on some underwear at least.
 
I happen to be a major movie fan and have seen many films from many eras in my young life, with a particular fondness for the classic era (up through 1979). I must say though that despite having seen quite a few films with nudity, I rarely see why it is necessary for films to include it. It’s usually there just to titilate. For every film that deploys it in a fashion where it helps the storyline develop, like Schindler’s List (in the shower scene), Camille Claudel (where people pose nude for art sculptures), and Witness (where the nudity and the rejection of it shows how a relationship could not possibly last), there are many, many films that do not need it (Some good films that could have easily dropped the nudity include Doc Hollywood, About Time, Love Actually, A Room with a View, Working Girl, The Fisher King, Sixteen Candles, Shirley Valentine, and Chaplin, to name just a few)

What I guess I am trying to get at is that I just wish that films wouldn’t be so cavalier about it. Female nudity, male nudity, all of it, I think we need to see less of it in films. We were all born that way, but I don’t often see a reason to see others that way on a screen. (I also think though that I often find violence in films to be even more offensive, but that is a different story…)
 
Ah, yes, that reminds me of Ali:Fear Eats the Soul. Marvelous film overall, but its two scenes of male nudity feel like a betrayal to the delicacy and tenderness of the film that surrounds it.
