Adding nudity to films can be seen as a way to increase audience interest. Recent films have begun to use imitation penises to surprise audiences without actually showing male genitals, or to prevent actors from being embarrassed by size concerns. The production company said test audiences were 'distracted' or 'uncomfortable' when viewing the penis. If male genitals are shown, it is only very briefly and the shot will usually will be cut from the film prior to release.Īn example can be found in the editing process of the film A Home at the End of the World (2004), where a shot of Colin Farrell's penis was deleted.

When males are shown nude, the buttocks are shown or the man is shown nude, with his genitals or buttocks obscured by the pose, an inanimate object, or the man is simply shown from the lower back up. When females are shown nude, their breasts are, by far, the most commonly exposed 'private part', followed by the buttocks. One famous exception is the brief exposure of the female genitals in the Sharon Stone film Basic Instinct. Female nudity has been less controversial than male nudity in American film for a long time, although the female and male lower genitals are very rarely shown. 'Nude scene' is a slang term used in to describe a scene in a mainstream ( non-pornographic) film which one or more of the actors appears nude on-screen.
