There are a few to more nude public nude beaches in the US... - Gunninson Beach in Sandy Hook, NJ - Haulover Beach in Northern Miami - Black's Beach in San Diego (anything goes there) I'm sure there are more! America isnt totally prudish!

Western mainland Europe is a lot less prudish than the US. In France you get shampoo ads that just casually show a boob, in the day time. And topless sunbathing is common around a lot of Europe.

    I think you're misunderstanding here. From what I've seen of ads like this, it shows a woman in the shower using the product. Any body part shown is incidental and not exploitative.

      I've seen "Crazy European commercial" type videos and they were things like two people having fairly aggressive sex and in the very background a crumpled pair of jeans or socks or something was the product being advertised. IIRC it was French or Belgian commercial. Then there were several other commercials in that presentation from various European countries that were on either side of that level of "sell it with sex". A quick Google query didn't find it but this comment came up that is similar >, I remember being stuck for half an hour in a traffic jam in east Beirut with my husband and kids on the way to a mountain picnic. Right in front of us were two giant billboards (both the same) advertising jeans with a man and woman in a sexy pose, and the woman (of course) without a top. I guess by then I was not shocked but did feel it was gratuitous (to sell jeans? or to sell sex?).

        the mix of whatever is left of victorian prudishness with decades of agressively commercialized porn sure makes for a complex and unhealthy relationship to the human body

    Germany got a lot more prudish since that movie was released, though, and FKK is also in decline. The American cultural influence plays no small part. Also, that advert is just "sex sells" style objectification. Not sure I'm sad too see that gone.

  My favourite was 50 Shades of Gray playing at 6PM on public tv (ie: everyone gets this channel). Was a basic enough movie that I could follow along with the French subtitles. Then it was just playing in the background and only the un-translated parts stood out. Either French doesn’t have a term for “fisting” or it gets by the censors if they don’t dub it?
