HT Tabloid asked "Bollywood sex goddesses" for their thoughts on male exposure in films, seeing as how women tend to have to take it off a lot more often.
The women's responses interested me because they refer to Hollywood as proof that "there's nothing wrong with male nudity" – Hollywood being the arbiter of what's right and wrong, of course. And also there's a sense that India is "behind the times" because it doesn't favor baring men's chests in movies despite a widespread appreciation of female cleavage and curves. Adding more male flesh to films would be "progressive" for India.
For the record, I'm in favor of male nudity and my answer to the question is hell yeah, male bodies are erotic. It always puzzles me when people state the cliche that women's bodies are "more" beautiful than men's. I think the male is just as beautiful as the female, with angles and hardness instead of curves and softness. Complementary, y'know?
