Ever nude in a film?

I admit that, being a full-fledged hetero male,5b4 I was at first CRUSHED that she didn't bare anything in
Summer of '42
, but Robert Mulligan was able to find a way around that and made the sex scene beautiful and erotic without feeling pornographic in any sense of the word.

Is that all you men ever think about-boy talk about the saying that
most people only use 10% of their brain power!! What if this were your
wife, mother or sister-would you be as endorsing? What kind of sad,
lonely, unfilled life do you have that the only thing you look forward
to is a "nude" woman in a film you don't even know and frankly could
not care less about you! I read her book "From Fallen to Forgiven"
I suggest you might do the same. She stated she would not do a nude
scene for any film-good for her!!! Today she has her own ministry,
is extremely moral and an advocate for pro-life-why don't you write
to her and ask her about her views on nudity-I'm sure she'd be delighted
enlighten you. MF -

What's wrong with seeing a beautiful woman in the nude? You make it seem perverted. A woman's body is beautiful and is art. I'm a full blooded hetero sexual male it's only natural that I find a beautiful woman's nude body pleasing to the eye. That's the problem with our society now days, people make such a big deal about nudity in film and try to repress it and call it "dirty" and that is perverted and unhealthy. It's like violence in films is more accepted than nudity, how wrong is that?

WOW!!! Did you ever hit the nail on the head janvol22. I agree with you 100%.
Europe doesn't share the attitude that we do over nudity. In America, nudity=sex and not the simple beauty of form. I've been nude sunbathing and it was always the Americans that equated my nudity with "Geeshe must want sex because she's naked." So I prefered to hang out with the Europeans. They didn't stare and make rude comments and were very nonchalent about it.
Americans are perfectly fine with seeing a woman getting stabbed in the chest over dinner but shrink in horror if a man kisses a woman's breast on TV. No wonder we lead the civilized world in murder rates. Frankly I'm sick of violence and though I'm no admirer of "romantic comedies or chick flicks" I'd rather see a nude love scene than to see a violent one.
I also admire the male actors that don't shy away from a full frontal nude scene. We've seen females like this forever and I admire the actors that aren't afraid to do it for the sake of the integrity of a scene.
I'd love to see all of the US beaches declared clothing optional. It's a more natural way to swim and sunbathe anyway.
I find naked men and women's forms beautiful and not immoral or degenerate.
Cheers to you janvol22! That was a wonderful rebuttal.

Yes a womans body is viewed as beautiful and art because if you look at a lot of the famous painters of the past they used women for their paintings.

Is that all you men ever think about?
Unless we really need to have a sandwich the answer to your question is "YES"
It may sound strange to you but it is how men are made. Your assumption that we would not want to see our Mother or daughter nude is a corrrect one. We also do not care that Jennifer has no interests in us it is something we do not think about. Actually if I knew Jennifer O'Neill personally, I would not want to see her naked because I wouldn't want to confuse my feelingda0s as a friend with my natural interests as a man. When I was a teenager I had a crush on her when I saw her in Summer of 42. I am now a mature happily married male entering my 50's so I am not looking for pictures, however when I read the subject "Ever nude in a film ?" being male I was interested. I am happy for her that she has a happy life and a sense of purpose. I do feel sad for people who have only felt self worth from how their bodies look. But if your intent was to make a bunch of males feel guilty for being interested in how beautiful someones body may be it's just not going to work. Our brains are not made for multitasking like your's are. We are made to focus on singular tasks. When my wife walks past me naked you could throw a can at my head and I would feel it.
I have an extreme respect for my wife she has great character, she's very intelligent, she puts others needs before her own, very interesting person to have conversation with. She is all that and more and yet when she walks past me naked all I can think about is her naked. I make no apologies for it for it is how I am made.
Well that just about sums it up for me. I guess I'll go mmake myself a sandwich -

I'm telling you it's sex and then food and usually in that order for most. We are capable of deep thought but not during those times.

How is this any different from women fawning over their babies and oogling and aahing at every picture of babies?
Either way, you sound like you're absolutely dreadful in the sack.

I understand what a previous poster said about some guys simply looking for a naked woman in a film. But personally, I admire seeing an attractive woman nude in a film, like seeing a work of art sculpture. That is if I admire the actress as a person anyway. Jennifer O'Neill certainly qualifies. She was quite charming in
Summer of '42
A woman in her highest iteration is a representative of love and beauty after all - as Venus would have it. The softness and vulnerability of physical bareness in feminine form is as basic as that gets on the Earth plane.

The subject's question has not been answered (someone said Caligula, but were unsure) after 2 pages. After all, thats how internet forums work.
Has Jennifer O'Neill ever been nude in a film? I'd like to know. I'm not ashamed to ask either. If a film is a great piece of art, culture, media, etc. and contains an attractive woman taking her clothes off, all the better. C'mon ladies! Don't act like you weren't excited about seeing Donald Sutherland's butt in Don't Look Now. -

Yeah most of the posts in this forum are just people throwing mud at each other. According to Jennifer herself, she never did. Now, don't forget, her character having a scene of nudity does not mean she took her clothes off. Malena is full of naked Monica Bellucci, but all of it was done by a body double. If she hasn't done it in a romantic film or a drama, I don't think she'd bother for Caligula. It's the most filthy movie I have ever seen. Some may argue it's art (somebody always does), but I say Tinto had a bad ulcer on his penis and expressed his feelings through that film. But that's beside the point
