One thing I like about Game of Thrones is that the gratuitous nudity is inclusive of all different kinds of bodies.

Yeah right... I've only seen season one but there wasn't one naked woman who wasn't perfect (counting only the women who did have some screen time and weren't just running through a scene in the background)
It's rare to show naked women with all different kinds of bodies - thinking about all the HBO series there only seem to exist women who look perfect (naked).

The nudity is WHY I don't watch it. It's tasteless and unappealing. Try expressing something without tits flying around all over the place. "Artistic" nudity does not exist, so don't start with that.

Now explain to me how that painting would have been ruined if there wasn't any nudity? How was it necessary?

Aside from protection from cold, why, indeed, are clothes necessary?

...because it's the birth of Venus/Aphrodite?

In the same vein, why are clothes necessary? Is it now ruined now that a lady is nude? (*gasp* *shock* *horror!*)

She's being born. Nudity symbolizes her newness, her genesis, while also empathizing her femininity and sexuality, appropriate for her realm of influence as goddess of love.

You philistine fuck.

Artistic nudity does exist, but definitely not in the land of GoT.

In the final scene of Season 1 maybe, because it was intentionally sort of a goddess-like image and the nudity was a reasonably important part of the scene as described in the book. But besides that one time....HAHAHA no.

true story.

you sound American

You sound like someplace nobody gives a shit about.

HAHAHAHAHA

Fuck you're stupid. It's kind of adorable. So tell me, when you have sex through that hole in the sheets, if you want to use protection do you sew the condom into there or what? Or do you like, only have sex to impregnate or get pregnant, and still sew a condom in there but poke holes in it with a needle so your junk never has to actually experience the sensation of leaving the cloistered confines of your own shame?

Jesus. There's a big difference between having sex, and having sex in public. Or showing your goods to the world. Wow.

Wow. You seem stupid and prone to overreaction.

ok, look, I hate to get involved and I think the person you're replying to is probably an idiot and a troll, but NO. Not everyone likes the idea of looking at/interacting with naked bodies. And that is FINE.

You sound heterosexual female.

...

"Artistic" nudity does not exist, so don't start with that.

lol wut. really

Oh, if you're talking about major characters, I definitely agree with you. But I thought it was nice seeing prostitutes of all shapes and sizes bouncing around the brothel, including a couple who were medium build like me and even overweight! Normally, it feels like if you're above a size 2, you can't even be an extra in a show.

It's not perfect, but it's still better than any other show I've seen. Do you have any recommendations for better shows?

Yeah, but that is the difference: only those who are bouncing around "are allowed" to show variety of different bodies. Mind you if they would cast a female main character (which has to got naked) who doesn't look like a model.

I don't have any recommendations because the shows (I don't have pay-tv) I normally watch don't have tons of naked people in it (and I hate it when they throw naked people/sex just for the sake of getting more viewers in). And yes I like it better that way because there I can at least imagine that some of the actors aren't allover perfect. (and no, I'm not a prude)

Oh, I never thought about it that way before. :( I was just excited to see someone who didn't fit the Hollywood cookie-cutter appearing on TV at all, and thought it was a step in the right direction.

I totally agree that nudity completely unnecessary most (if not all) of the time in shows, and they usually are just tossing in some boobs for fanservice. But I don't let it get in the way of enjoying a show with an interesting plot and good acting, which seems to be a rarity these days.

OT, but I think this needs saying: I specialized in life drawing and portraiture when I was in art school, so I've seen a lot of faces and nude bodies. In my opinion, there's such a thing as an "allover perfect" body or even a "flawed" one, no matter what Hollywood may say about thin/athletic types being the only acceptable body type (most likely to sell diet plans, LOL). They're all beautiful in their own way.

Mind you if they would cast a female main character (which has to got naked) who doesn't look like a model

They already have. Brienne. And if it follows the books, she will get a naked scene.

"Overweight"

... really, cos I didn't see any fat women. Unless you're USian and have strange ideas of "overweight"?
