Slate has an interesting audio piece (which ran on NPR) about how there is less and less sexual nudity in Hollywood movies. The interviewee claims that this is largely because:

• Hollywood studios don’t make money on theater ticket sales, they make money on DVD sales and TV licensing
• There’s no nudity on network TV
• Wal-Mart won’t stock DVDs with explicit sexual content

The interesting thing is, the interviee claims that Wal-Mart will happily stock movies with explicit violence, like, say, “Kill Bill”.
