Sadly true -- I'd love to see Viggo Mortensen for instance in various 
states of undress.  He looked very beautiful in a pretty odd and yet 
pretty film called _The Reflecting Skin_ (1991), in which he plays 
(if my memory serves) a dying American soldier who was exposed to 
radiation in Hiroshima.  Recently, I've heard Mortensen is some kind 
of left-winger and poet to boot.  What more can one want from a man? 
I almost (well, almost) won't care if his poems are bad (I don't know 
if they are, as I haven't read them).  ;->

Complete nakedness is seldom as sexy as states of undress that don't 
quite show everything.  That is why hardcore porn with close-ups of 
penises and vaginas is not sexy but dull and (in some cases) 
depressing (especially when actors look bored).
