20 jaw-dropping moments of male nudity on screen — The double standard between male and female nudity on screen in America is so weird.

32 of the hottest goofballs and geeks on film and television — A few years ago, I started this Thirst Trap series to highlight actors who are overlooked or undersold as romantic leads.
