Why do you think a women would take her clothes off in front of a camera?

Because it was their job? (Is this a test?)

Do you classify all nudity on film as pornography? I'm just curious.

Would you call any or all of the following "porn stars"?

Jody Foster
Nicole Kidman
Sharon Stone :-)
Liv Tyler
Charlize Theron
Meryl Streep

I could go on...

What's your definition of porn? Movies (well, some of them) portray things that either did or can happen in real life. In real life, all of us take off our clothes from time to time for various asundried reasons. Is there anything wrong with some movies showing this, as long as it's not gratutious or obscene?

Obscenity may well be in the eye of the beholder, but I would hate to allow such a subjective definition set the standards for decency.

I am an artist and I have come to recognize that one of the most insidious phrases ever perpetrated on the middle class is "tasteful nudity".

Lenny Bruce's famous comment about complaining to the manufacturer if you don't like the human body is disengenuous; the manufacturer also drew the parameters of modesty which we have abandoned in the heady progressive idea that we are now somehow more sophisticated(an interesting word etymologically speaking) and cosmopolitan.

Showed in public what should have been private? Then you have engaged in porneia.

Yes it's porn, IMO. Yes it's a portraly of real life, but it is also shown to get a reaction. That is the problem. No matter how soft it is, nudity is shown to get a reaction.

In the "old day's" there was no nudity. They still got their points across tho.
