Interesting Look On Female Nudity, Representation & Vulnerability & What Role The Film Industry Has Played In Our Perception Of Female Sexuality
29 March 2023
Currently, men are giving this an average rating of 5.8 while women are averaging an 8.3. I guess it's not unfair to say that women are more likely to find this interesting than men. To be honest, the 5.8 average rating from men is likely due to the fact that they get to see a lot of eye candy BUT it finds solid footing in the threatening topic of equalizing the power of sexual desire from a woman's stand point.

The history of how women have been used to fulfill the ideals of male sexual fantasy and expectation as opposed to the realities of intimacy and sex are no big secret but this documentary was enlightening none-the-less. It also stresses the uncomfortable nature, contractual liabilities and how intimacy coordinators come into play when shooting sex scenes.

It discusses the pursuit of physical perfection through the use of body doubles, image manipulation, props and makeup and how some industry professionals have reservations with these techniques due to the impact it has on realistic expectations. It also addresses representation among the physical desirability among people with disabilities, different sexual orientations and races.

I found it quite interesting and learned a few things. It was worth the watch for me.
