I’ll just keep waiting for ‘A Very Special Everybody Loves Raymond’ where Patricia Heaton gets naked. Wow, I just found out she’s 42 years old! What a fine-looking older woman! ---

The bet involved this MAN getting implants. He then went on “The Man Show” on Comedy Central, basic cable, and bared HIS breasts. The fuzzed them out. Explain that? Male boobs, no sexuality … _furious scratching of head_ Hey now. Just because you don’t find a man with boobies sexually attractive doesn’t mean that there isn’t _somebody_ banging his or her rocks at the thought. Hell, they stock magazines with stuff like that in the plastic wrap section of Tower Records. ---

We should all write and complain that we’re not seeing enough nipples on regular TV. And how did Copp’s 27 Y.O. daughter think she got pregnant? Through wholesome sex of course. I can’t think of anything more wholesome than boobs. When my child gets to the right age I want him to see plenty of it. I don’t want him to grow up to be some weirdo who’s never seen a woman’s body or think of a woman’s body as some weird thing. It’s normal and natural. ---

One of the funniest things I ever saw on TV was the intro sequence to Barbarella on TNT when I visited the US a few years ago. (For those that don’t know, the scene involves Jane Fonda stripping in zero gravity and has brief nipple nudity). Anyway, to cover the nipples they decided to have massive light reflection effects on them, as if they were greased up like a newly bought car. I just couldn’t help staring at them in utter disbelief. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lucki Chaarms \* > Well, IANAP, but I don’t think that anyone gets excited about like, little babies. I think the bare minimum pedophile age is 6 or so, and you definitely wouldn’t see that on American TV. OK, now I feel gross… > > LC I hate to be the one to shatter your sweet idealism, but pedophiles aren’t as restraining and/or fickle as you seem to think. There are plenty of cases where babies have been raped and/or molested. Sexual molestation doesn’t start at 6. I would LOVE to say that showing a baby’s genitals didn’t turn anyone on, but it just isn’t true. ---

Okay, people, “The Chris Isaak Show” has nudity all the time, (blonde mermaid nudity, even) so I want you all to start watching so that this show will stay on the air a long, long time. Capiche? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brief-nudity-nipple/93652.md?page=2)
