Do you get to see David Bowie's shlong in this movie?

"While they show a lot of penises, the vagina is still a taboo".
A bit easier to show penises, since they stick out.
On the other hand, one sees a lot of topless women in old films of the period.
Just as these days, it's almost obligatory for good looking women to get off with each other in tacky Hollywood blockbusters, but you'll hardly ever see two men get it on
It's not "sci-fi", it's SF! -

We've been seeing naked men and women in film for around the same time, but I'd say the reason penises aren't so 'taboo' as vaginas is that up until maybe 20, 30 years ago, vaginas were totally engulfed by pubic hair! Like that scene in The Life of Brian, where a naked Judith defends Brian from his mum, and they could get away with this nudity because her hair covered her breasts, and her pubes covered everything. Only since women have started grooming like they do now have vagina shots been as 'graphic' as penis shots. You could never really see them before.
