arnz 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 Currently at the moment, uncensored nudity down under in Australia only occurs between the late hours and early morning. However, there are still the likes of people who wants it banned all-around. Personally, I dont mind it its a good looking lady (like any other guy).. but I wont go as far as saying to display it at other times (due to school kids, children, and so forth) But at other hours, all I can say is if you dont like it! change the channel!What are your thoughts?.. try and think with your head on your shoulders..

scab_dog 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 I also live in Australia, i personally think what they are doing now is great. It is in the late hours as you said so it mostly bed time for youngster (including me) . And if they did show nudity in prime time, you could send a letter to the channel.Currently Big Brother is going under a lot of debate. The adult version is on Mondays 9:30pm. So that is close to the prime time. But you have to accept that all the teenages watch it, and nudity is one of the things that provokes them to watch it.My final say is that it is the parents responsibility as the Australian TV commision is doing their job.

LParyani 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2006 Nudity on TV exists because people want it to. They're basically filling out the demand by the majority population, and I think what the Australian channel is doing is pretty much trying to keep up with the demand ethically, if not anything else.Now, if I'm not mistaken, at the beginning of each movie, they even display a rating (PG, R, etc.), and try to make it the responsibilty of the parents and not them anymore, so I don't see any harm in showing material which might not be suitable for the little ones.What I'm trying to say is that in now way will the nudity on Television go down even if a minotry group of protestors try to pull it down, because in the end it's the majority that is taken care of. So, even if we might think it's wrong, I don't think there would be a possible solution to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madkat-Z 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I have no problem with nudity as long as its for an artistic or scientific purpose. However if its ment as adult entertainment, then I have a problem. If you want adult entertainment, it shouldn't be advertised or placed on channels that come with a normal cable package pr have nothing to do with the subject. If you want adult entertainment, then you can buy those channels separately. I don't want to see an advertisement for some adult video when I'm trying to watch a decent program.Of course I do not live in Australia, so I don't know how bad it is there. Normally what I see is adult advertisements, but not as much as programing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darknight08 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2006 Nudity is prohibited in many religions. I dont think australians or anyone should make it so easy to get. People like it, but mostly people dont. Its unmoralistic and gives off a bad image. Kids still find a way to look at this kind of stuff, why make it easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ao)K-General 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2006 You know, I don't see why everyone makes a big fuss over nudity. The majority of the people will have intercourse and see nudity. And I don't think cave men wore anything to cover them selves. They were smart but not that smart. And I will bet that they didn't go around inapropriately touching or forcefully having sex with another caveman(woman). The only reason tv shows them covering them selves is because its censorship. And you see nudists, who are people for those of you who don't think they are (Family Guy T-Shirt), who act like us except naked. They play and laugh and enjoy them selves just like we do. I really don't see the reason. Kids seeing nudity, so what. If it's serious porn and stuff, maybe they shouldn't. But most people will experience this stuff when they get older.

JasperIk 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 Im glad in america they dont show nudity on regular TV. I think nudity is stupid in movies. 1. i hate when i go to see a movie, and all of a sudden a breast is flashed, i find it gross [i dont like the female body] and unneeded. Especially when it is so obviously done, for a sexual reason. Though i guess i am kind of biased because if they showed a naked male [an attractive one] i'd probably not mind it. But for the purpose of the argument, nudity in shows or movies is just really stupid, and just goes to show you, everyones minds are on sex. Though if done artistically, i dont really mind nudity of any kind, or if its obviously not sexual. Like the suicide scene in the rules of attraction, she is naked...but its not sexual, she killed herself in a bathtub, so she was naked. But i dont think any nudity should be on the TV at any time, too much of a chance of kids seeing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avalon 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2006 displaying nudity without porn is allowed for the whole day and nobody cares because nudity is natural and nothing thats badThis is interesting, it shows that in some places nudity is fine. I think the issue here is not so much nudity, but more the way it is done. Through the ages there have been sculptures and paintings depicting nudity. On the most part, people considered this as "art". I think the problem is the definition of what is "art". Some people that make pornographic movies also consider their work to be art, and therefore feel their work should be available to everyone. While others may not agree with this line of thought, everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess.Personally, I think it comes down to parental supervision and the ability we all have to change the channel if we don't like what is being screened. If enough people refrain from watching what is considered to be "offensive material", the program will be removed, it's that simple. For a long time I wouldn't allow my children to watch the Simpsons. My reason for doing so is that I feel it shows inappropriate behaviour to young children that are easily influenced to repeat what they see on television. It wasn't until I felt they were mature enough to understand that not everything they see on television is acceptable, that I would let them watch it. Perhaps you think I was a little over protective? I felt it was my responsibility as a parent to monitor what my children are influenced by and thereby hopefully set them some, what I consider to be acceptable, social standards to live by.

mirra 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, Western civilization used to embrace the concept of heroic nudity,but it has nearly completely disappeared.Oh, that's probably not what you meant. Still, I agree with the nudityissue. I'm amazed when even medical shows blur body parts, like theydon't know that nudity in that context is acceptable to the FCC. Theyare likely being paranoid, though with good reason, given theoutrageous, random, and immoral fines we've seen in recent years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorned Rose 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 I believe that sex and nudity a bodily functions are completely normal and nothing to be ashamed about etc but I also recognise that there is an emotional aspect to sex and nudity that I think comes from human evolution. Males are aroused by visual stimuli (i.e nudity) whereas women are more stimulated by touch (this is probably why men are more accepting of nudity on tv and other media than women). I think this probably comes from the human equivalent of the courtship dance.This doesn't however make nudity in the media ok. Quite the opposite. We have far too many people becoming 'overstimulated' by the constant barrage of sexually connotative images. It's no wonder promiscuity and sexual misdemenors are on the rise.I'm also a firm believer in sex for love (no I'm not religious). I think casual sex ends up being more trouble than it's worth (just look at spiralling STDs). With this in mind, sex and nudity in the media is flouting something that should be sacred and special between two people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs to be past 10 PM (giving timezone changes a thought)  Nudity is normal. We need to accept that. Adult entertainment is a completely different topic here.  Pretty much summed it up. The human body is natural, nudity is natural. You take a shower, you don't shower with your clothes on do you? I think nudity is something no one can agree on personally.  People may have opinions that it corrupts the young, and others think that it is 100% natural, and even more think that even pornos should be allowed during prime time. The whole world could debate on it for centuries, they will never agree on anything.  Everyone has a different opinion on things, we just have to accept it.  And here in America, the worst it shows on Cable is fake-porn on cinemax where all it shows is the upper body naked. And maybe some Girls Gone Wild infomercials, but they're all with a giant "censored" sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorned Rose 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 You have to remember though that most of the nudity on tv at the moment is 'adult themed'. And also remember the fact that males are sexually stimulated whether nudity is tasteful (art, science etc) or pornographic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
