I’ve been posting about the lack of male full frontal nudity in all films and TV for a long time, and I know I’m not the only one who wonders about the double standard. So here’s an interesting tongue in cheek piece on the topic.

The interviews in the video are from a summit that was hosted by The Reunion Project in Palm Springs, CA.
