> Not sure what grade of movies you were watching, but I didn’t see much in the way of mainstream nudity such as what you’re talking about here…at least not in major release “A” movies. And I don’t think we see much in the way of male full frontal nudity today. Yes, you see it, but it is not mainstream.

Not mainstream? _Forgetting Sarah Marshall_ was pretty mainstream.

Don’t forget the cross-genre dumpee chops showcased in The Notebook!

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen…I’m saying it doesn’t happen in a mainstream way, i.e., in many movies that are released under a PG-13 rating. Yes, occasionally, but low percentages.
