Equal opportunity nudity

Streaking isn’t just for creepy old guys in trench coats anymore

 Generally when you watch movies and pay cable, it’s no big surprise to see the occasional boob or robe-dropping female strutting around.

We’ve practically become desensitized to women exposing themselves — with the exception of Janet
Jackson’s Nipplegate, of course. But more now than ever, men aren’t exempt from baring it all, either. While we have drawer-dropping pioneers such as Richard Gere (“American Gigilo”), Harvey Keitel (“The Piano,” “Bad Lieu­tenant”) and Ewan McGregor (“Trainspotting,” “The Pillow Book,” “Velvet Goldmine” and “Young Adam”) to thank for going balls out (literally), in the last two years, male bodies have become even less taboo in Hollywood. Although your hormonal side may be a little let down to find out a lot of guys wear prosthetics (God forbid their true sizes are revealed — we’re looking at you, Mark Wahlberg), it’s a start toward balancing out the bare-behind scales. In honor of such a trend, here are some of the most memorable scenes in the last couple years:

‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ 2007
Yes, this short-lived HBO series, centered around the sex therapy sessions of three couples, bordered on softcore porn. But it treated the male genitalia in such a matter-of-fact, non-comedic way and got so
graphic, we actually watched a hand job done to completion. For all of their trailblazing, though, the actors used prosthetic penises. So, no, you don’t really know what actor Adam Scott looks like.

‘Knocked Up,’ 2007
Seth Rogen sleeping naked on his stomach leaves the camera to focus on his (surprisingly smooth) derrière.

‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ 2008
How unprepared were we to see Jason Segel’s schlong literally hanging out while the 6-foot-4 dude cried and begged his girlfriend to not leave him? We watched the movie with our mom. Awkward!

‘Hamlet 2,’ 2008
After accidentally ingesting acid, drama teacher Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) is found by the cops. But his pants remain miss­ing. It’s a great way for American audiences to be introduced to the British actor — via mooning.
