Male and female nudity in culture [View all]

Last edited Sat Mar 15, 2014, 07:57 AM - Edit history (1)

I am listening to an NPR show about nudity in pop culture. It is quite interesting but at one point. A woman commentator mentions that there is no male equivalent of boobs.

This is true, but on the other hand, full frontal for men means showing genitalia whereas full frontal for women is pretty much just showing a triangle of hair.

Admittedly this is not a stunning or even a particularly interesting revelation for you readers I am sure.

Really just an off-the-cuff OP here -the equivalent of small talk, so don't make too much of it.
