The ridiculous 2004 Superbowl ‘Nipplegate’ was a more recent reminder of how US attitudes have not really advanced much since the Hays code.
lustful kissing is to be shown with care
nudity, or even suggestions of it (e.g. a silhouette)
the display of bellybuttons
Some ridiculous highlights of the code in effect banned or discouraged:
couples in the same bed, even if married. (Laurel and Hardy came before the code)
Is it possible to permanently quit pornography?
any profanity to the Christian religion, e.g. hell, damn, God (unless used in a holy sense), or ridicule of the clergy.
sexual perversion, including homosexuality (naturally), and sexual relationships between the white and black races.
disrespect of authority figures. Crooked judges are OK if they are also clearly portrayed as evil people
Does any other guys get turned on by dick pic makes you lick lips because you what to suck?
For 34 years, movie and TV studios censored themselves to appease the Puritanical whims of Will Hays.
Remember the Hays Code?
Meanwhile, the rest of the world still sniggers at American prudishness.
