Bare Tushes

After watching an old school flick last night, I couldn't help but comment that 20 years ago they used to show a lot more skin in movies. Bare tushes and chests were pretty commonplace.

Remember all the high school coming of age movies? Porkys, and Up the Creek, and Caddyshack, Hot Dog, the movie, The Joy of Sex (whose most titillating moment came when the boys were at the drive in lighting their farts), Sixteen Candles or St. Elmo's Fire... They all had some nudity and very little swearing, ok maybe except for Eddie Murphy in RAW. Although the nudity in the past was mostly women, and the odd male bare buns would create a furor of shock because it was the other gender's turn :]

Now we seem to have the reverse. Very little nudity and a whole lot of swearing, sly sexual innuendos, and more violence. Interesting.
