November is a big month for books. November is National Novel Writing Month with writers challenging themselves to write a full novel in a month and it is also and it comes off the heals of October being National Book Month. Now we don't actually do books here at Mr. Skin. This website is a visual medium, so it's hard to write about sexy nude scenes that we read in books...unless they make a movie out of it!
You know how people say "the book was hotter"? What about the nude scenes? Are the nude scenes in movie adaptations of books hotter in the book or on the screen? Let's do some skinvestigating and find out with the nudity in these movie adaptations of books.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Grey became famous for how sexy it is. What was originally intended to be Twilight fan fiction morphed into a sexy BDSM book that women read on subways to and from work. What a horny book! The film adaptation was bound to have nudity in it and it definitely did. Dakota Johnson's bod looked amazing as the character Anastasia Steele (what a name for an erotic fiction character!).
So what's the book like? Believe it or not: the book is hotter. Some fans were annoyed that the book didn't go even further and show more nudity. Go figure! I thought the movie was sexy, but if the book is really this much hotter then it's time for all of us to renew our library cards. Warning: you might want to read the book in private!
Great Expectations
Great Expectations has had a lot of adaptations over the years. Alfonso Cuaron adapted the Dickens novel for the 20th century by setting it in 90s New York. Gwyneth Paltrow played the rich girl, Estella, who seduces our leading man played by Ethan Hawk. And seduce him she does with this tempting undressing scene. Yeah, I don't remember this scene from the Charles Dickens novel. Do you?
Less Than Zero
Brett Easton Ellis has written books that dance around sex and power such as American Psycho and The Rules of Attraction. Less Than Zero was his first book that put the controversial writer on the literary scene. The 1987 adaptation of Less Than Zero does have nudity, but it has more male nudity than female nudity and there is a female nude scene written into the book that isn't really shown in the film.
Here is an excerpt: "And she takes the tube of suntan lotion from me and squeezes some onto her fingers and then touches herself and motions for me to do the same, and I do. After a while I stop and reach over to her and she stops me and says no, and then places my hand back on myself and her hand begins again and after this goes on for a while I tell her that I’m going to come and she tells me to hold on a minute and that she’s almost there and she begins to move her hand faster, spreading her legs wider, leaning back against the pillows, and I take the sunglasses off and she tells me to put them back on and I put them back on and it stings when I come and then I guess she comes too."
Well, that's spicy!
