I agree with Rebecca’s post. There is a difference between a woman’s breast and a man’s genitals. Why can no one seem to see the difference? Hollywood never showed female genitals; only pubic hair. A person’s genitals are the most sacred and private part of anyones body.

One article I read quoted HBO producer Cynthia Mort as saying “in the interest of equality in every way, I would never show a woman and not a man”. Regardless, the argument to show more man junk is much older than Judd Apatow’s producing career, plus, you’ll always find producers, male or female, willing to take that road. I do think some do it to get the attention that comes with it. (You and I gave it press time).

Actually, I would disagree Mick. (But I’m curious about any specific female producers, writers, or directors you know of who are doing this.)

It’s specifically male producers like Judd Apatow who are advocating more male nudity in mainstream Hollywood films. Plus, it was John Segal who wrote the script and that specific scene in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

I think you’re right about why sex scenes in movies exist (target – 18 to 35 y/o males). But many women who are tired of being humiliated with way too much female nudity have argued for more male nudity as a way of making guys feel degraded in hopes that would put an end to uncomfortable sex scenes. I think their plan backfired. Instead of less nudity, we see more and more “man junk”. Women, such as yourself, who don’t want to see man junk must thank their own sisters for the trend we now see emerging. Believe me, it wasn’t us guys arguing for it.

I hate man junk too! Heehee. There is a joke with my wife and some of our friends not to let Josh (me) pick out a movie, because every movie he picks out has a scene with naked men in it! In my defense, this is not on purpose. It is more of a coincidence — a bad one at that. That’s what I get for liking artsy/independent films I guess. So now the mainstream Hollywood films are apparently trying to push the limit. I’m afraid to ask what next!
