The prudishness manifested differently. I recall a lot more nudity and at least as many sex scenes in movies I watched as a kid (under 18).
Highlander
Lethal Weapon
Robocop
Life of Brian
Even OG Batman had some nudity and referenced sex in it as a PG-13.
Exposed breasts and sex scenes were pretty common. Full frontal nudity was even relatively common. And sometimes wouldn't even garner an R rating.
- hindsightbias 3y agoRomeo and Juliet would be child porn today. There’s a TV channel for old shows/movies here. Clothed nipples are obscured. A sci-fi movie, the plaque on the NASA satellite with nude human figures was obscured. Who will protect the aliens? Tipper Gore and Jerry Falwell lost the battle, but they won the war.
- falcolas 3y agoI think I read your post backwards - my bad. With that context, yeah, we are more prudish about movies and such today. That said, it's easier to distribute and sell NC-17+ materials today than it ever has been.
