When did it become acceptable to show a woman’s ass sans anus in print and on tv? As if it’s not really naked if you can’t see the browneye winkin’? Not sure I’m complaining.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
I think it was some time around the mid 1960s.
In the first place, it’s generally spelled tuchus. I’ve seen variations, but never “tuches”, which looks like you tried to type “touches” and didn’t hit the “o” hard enough.
I’m assumining “in the U.S.” in all that follows. The rest of the world was generally more liberal with nudity.
Bare female bottoms were showing up in cartoons and line drawings in general-consumptioon magazines and the like in the 1950s, and probably earlier, depending on your definitions.
As for in print and on TV, you could be daring and show more than you expected in the 1960s, but I don’t think you’d have a complete non-lateral straight-on bare bottom photo until the 1970s, when I definitely saw them on Playboy covers.
In the movies, it followed the introduction of the ratings systrem circa 1968.
I believe it started here.
I think it’s supposed to be tushes, not tuchus. Still, it’d also be spelled wrong in that case too.
Child pornography link reported.
I really, really hope you’re kidding. For anyone who reads this and is reluctant to click on the link, it’s the old Coppertone ad, I am not into kiddie porn, and I don’t want to get a bad name around here.
He’s joking. Why would he report you to the mods of a message board for something as innocent as what’s in the link you provided? He probably just called the FBI on you.
never mind
Oh well in that case, never mind
I was kidding. Given current levels of hysteria, though, I doubt any modern business would dare to use a similar ad.
That’s the anglicized version “tuchus” (as I linked to) is the original Yiddish.
Thanks for the reply, and yes, it was a more innocent time.
