Is anyone really thinking about plot when they are staring at a perfect set of taters on screen? Doubtful. If I pitch a tent in the darkened theater, then a film has done its job as far as I am concerned.
Therefore, I submit that nudity is as crucial a part of any film as lighting, sound, acting or script.
Thank you.
