“National Geographic Nudity” is increasingly being found on standard cable channels. One such case is actually the National Geographic channel. Their Taboo series incudes segments on a nude Pagan ritual and a nudist Catholic church in Vermont.
Meanwhile, on the Travel Channel's Living with the Mek Tribe: The Adventures of Mark and Olly, two Westerners go to live with a tribe in West Papua and are provided "penis gourds" to wear, as all other men in the tribe do. What makes this a little more significant is that they did not blur-out or pixelate this when the men were filmed. On The Travel Channel's previous series "Going Tribal", they did blur-out the white man's genitals, but not the tribesmen's. Racist, you might ask? Probably not intended that way, but certainly could seem so. I applaud their current equal treatment!
Hopefully, more programs and channels will follow suit and relax nudity-censorship a little.

Yeah, I just made a rant on mine about censorship.
