Female nudity vs Male nudity

I cannot trust your generalizations of all of Italy.

My experiences with European television suggest neither are particularly scandalous there and I don't find either scandalous either.

Which one provokes more scandal? I mean in the media: TV, magazines etc...

you can speak ,obviously, of your cultural background.
second question:
- Which do you think it is more scandalous?

Male nudity, no doubt. At least in this part of the world.

The cultural taboo in Brazil being very much slanted towards accepting female nudity or near-nudity while avoiding the male variety.

I can't say that bothers me much.

There is no logical basis for there to be any inconsistency on how each is approached or regarded. Nudity in and of itself is natural and shouldn't be considered scandalous. It's all on how it's done: artistic and tasteful vs. lurid and objectifying.

In Australia we had full frontal male and female nudity on TV soaps way back in the early 70's with 'Number 96'.

I don't see anything particularly worrying - it's just bodies.
 
I like big women.
A big belly is fine with me cause i got one too.

Seriously, i find what's between the ears to be rhe sexiest part of a woman. Funny is sexy. Telling me I'm sexy is sexy. Self confidence is the sexiest of all.
Keep your wasp waist. I want adventure and fun.
17 years and counting and the lady I'm with is still in my dreams.

I'm not sure about "scandalous" but T&A is a dime a dozen in American media but male bits are more rare. I think genitals would probably be considered scandalous. We never see the vulva or an erect penis (even flaccid penises are rare) in, say, a R-rated movie. Frontal shots of a nude female are fairly easy to come across but male full-frontal nudity is more rare.

Neither is scandalous, to me.

well...most Italian men have a Pavarotti tummy...more or less. so I guess that the Riace bronzes do not represent males, in my country. besides men with statuesque body are considered gay

whereas almost all women have a tiny waist. so the women you see on TV are representative.

Sweety I've been to Rome and most of the dudes I saw were just plain scrawny.

I never paid much attention to his sexuality, just his work. :p

Honestly...do you think that such a skinny man is sexy?

please...he makes me puke.
Italian women (and I, of course), we prefer the man with the belly and with large chest,....and above all with no muscle which are synonym of gay

I wouldn't call that guy "skinny". We rednecks have a saying you would like. Boys have six packs, men have kegs.

well...in America you tolerate girls with a Pavarotti belly and expect men to be skinny.
we Italians expect women to have a very tiny waist, whereas men are supposed to be bellied.
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

I like the human form in its most natural shape.

so it is well known that most gay men are obsessed with penis.
Unlike gays like me, who prefer the romantic aspect of love.

Define 'well known'. In scientific literature, or just what people say on the internet?
