SCNA’s Resident Critic Reviews
Nudity in Popular Media
The stated mission of SCNA is to promote and encourage clothing-optional recreation, education and personal growth opportunities for all ages.
Outside the family and church, no medium has proved more important to establish and verify our American cultural values than the entertainment industry. From the days of Mae West and the Hayes Code to the antics of today’s celebrities,
our movies and television shows have told us how to feel about social nudity and body acceptance. For the most part, nudity is portrayed as sexual foreplay, as something sleezy or to be snickered at.
The Movie Buff™ reviews the entertainment media for positive messages about nudity and clothing-optionality where the unclothed human body is celebrated, where human sensuality is accepted, and where personal choice is respected.
We will review movies, TV, live theater, books, and whatever else comes across our desk in hopes of pointing out to the public which of these portray a fair and balanced representation of our lifestyle.
We welcome any comment you may wish to contribute to our efforts.
