hmmm....

well...i'm a Christian - though not overly conservative...

i don't know that i have a huge problem with some nudity...i think the bigger quesion for me comes to play with the content surrounding the nudity...

for example - if the movie is a love story and has a little nudity that's respectful...i'm not sure i have a problem

but if ...take for example the movie Indecent Proposal w/ Demi Moore....a married woman agrees to have sex with another man for $1 million...nudity or not - i personally found that movie obscene and highly objectionable!

so i guess that's where i'm at on nudity...i mean the body is the body...you can go to a museum and see classic nudes...is that bad? i don't know...

now with respect to your family - i think it is very important to voice your opinion. you have a couple of sons who need to understand it is incredibly important to respect a woman's body, that all women do not look like actresses and they need to know that what is portrayed in movies is not real life. with respect to your husband - tell him how you feel. it's hard to go to a movie anymore w/o nudity...perhaps you could ask him to look away out of respect for you? that would be a comprimise maybe you could both live with?

now about what comes in to your home...as far as your not yet 18 y.o. son - mom's house, mom's rules....especially with those insanely violent video games!!!

i guess when it comes down to it - your sons and husband are grown men. they have a right to make their own decisions. you have a right to express your opinion.

religious convictions are important and you should expect your family to abide by them at least inside the home.

but you are right to be concerned that your abuse is playing into this as well. my mom was molested and as a result taught me that all men are bad and not to be trusted...well it worked...i'm a 32 year old virgin living alone....

one thing for sure....you don't have to change what you choose to watch...if you are not comfortable with nudity then by all means do not watch it and your family needs to respect that!

well...that's my 2 cents...
