Definition of nudie

The term "nudie" actually refers to two distinct but related phenomena in popular culture. In the context of film and television, a "nudie" is a brief but typically uncensored or partially censored scene displaying nude or nearly nude bodies. The term is believed to have originated in the 1960s, during the Golden Age of Cinema when such scenes were becoming more common in low-budget movies, typically labeled as "sexploitation" films. These movies were often distributed "nudist-camp" style, meaning that they featured scenes from actual nudist camps, which helped to popularize this trend. The term "nudie" was coined to describe these works, which typically had few plot elements and relied heavily on nudity to attract audiences. In addition to films, the term "nudie" is also used in the context of magazines and other publications. Nudie magazines, also known as men's magazines in more recent years, are designed to feature images of nude or nearly nude women in a variety of contexts. These publications have been popular since the 1950s when they became a significant part of the underground erotica movement. As with films, the term "nudie" was coined to describe these magazines due to their focus on nudity as a primary selling point. In both contexts, the term "nudie" has come to represent a type of entertainment designed to cater to prurient interests, though the exact definition of what constitutes such content can vary widely depending on the culture and context. The term has also been used in more recent years to describe any type of low-budget, low-quality entertainment with sensational content, as the term "nudie" has become colloquially associated with poor quality productions.
