You are also quite correct in how it explains how nudity is treated, even today. When we were little, we weren't allowed to watch rated "R" movies, unless they were rated "R" for (tasteful, as seen by my mother) nudity. If it had excessive violence or gore, it was a no-no. My mother was forward thinking in that nudity or sex scenes, not raunch, were natural parts of the human experience. While violence is also "natural," my mom say it as 'unnatural' and didn't want us seeing such things. My dad was/is a prude. Even today, with all grown children, two married, one single, and me and my partner in limbo, he still won't watch nude scenes with us in the room and gets up in a huff. I remember one time my mom, dad, and I were all watching a movie and this woman exposed her breasts. My mom shouted, "Holy shit, I have never seen so much silicone!" I giggled. My dad angrily jumped up and said, "is this something our son should be watching?!" I was 30 at the time and openly gay! My mom and I looked at each other and burst out in laughter. My dad stormed out of the room. We had to rewind part of the movie because we kept laughing so hard we couldn't hear the dialogue.
