Popular culture of 1979 was post-hippie, but not quite yuppie; post-disco, but not quite New Wave; and post-Star-Wars, but not quite completely infantilized by Steven Spielberg.

At local theaters (which were not quite all multiplexes—yet), Hollywood continued to present movies for adults: mature stories for grown-up people featuring adult themes, adult story lines, and that most quintessentially adult artistic flourish—nudity.

With home video still a few years in the future, grindhouses and drive-ins surged toward a crescendo, showcasing an explosion of exploitation that was also patently adult but not, to be sure, mature.

Let’s look now at some of our favorite nude scenes from 1979—eleven, in total, in honor of the rating Dudley Moore actually awards to Bo Derek in the movie 10.

A weekly look back at past celeb nudity happenings of note, ranging from the earliest days of famous females to today’s hottest starlets.

Get the in-depth facts and figures on skincredible events that have happened throughout skintertainment history during the week of November 15th through November 21st.

The week’s lesson in lusty cultural high points includes Angelina Jolie getting nakedly animated in Beowulf, Megan Fox leaking her hottest photos ever online, master of all things massive mammary Russ Meyer busting out Mondo Topless, skintastic filmmaker Robert Altman passing on, the rescue and restoration of the lost Australian sexploitation classics Fantasm and Fantasm Comes Again, and the publication of Fanny Hill, the erotic novel that shocked the world and still keeps readers coming.

Set your DVRs today as tomorrow marks the debut of all-time XXX queen Jenna Jameson on Oprah.

Jenna herself announced this historic meeting of the mounds on Twitter, punctuating the news with a giant declaration of “WOW!”

The episode is titled “Why Millions of Women Are Using Porn and Erotica: Lisa Ling Reports.”

We eagerly wait to see how much Jenna reveals to Ms. Winfrey. And if you can’t wait, check out Jenna Jameson nude here in Zombie Strippers (2008) and Private Parts (1997).

Phoebe Cates’s other great ’80s teen sex comedy also

features Saw babe Betsy Russell, scream queen Brinke Stevens, and loads of sexy surprises.

If summertime 1982 served as cherry-popping Ground Zero for the decade’s teen sex comedy phenomenon—and seeing as it contained the premieres of Porky's, The Last American Virgin, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it did—then the subsequent swelter season’s Private School (1983) was the first direct fallout. And what a gloriously radiant after-effect it is.

To be sure, a spate of raunchy teen farces did rush into theaters during the ’82-’83 school year—among them: The Beach Girls, Homework, Joysticks, Losin’ It, Goin’ All the Way, My Tutor, Pink Motel, Spring Break, (the mighty) Screwballs, and (the also mighty) Zapped!

But Private School represented Hollywood’s first full-scale attempt to concoct an all-out teen sex comedy blockbuster, calculatedly combining familiar genre tropes (nerds, jocks, nudity-producing pranks, cross-dressing one’s way into the girls’ shower room, etc.), and then adding Phoebe Cates—the naked girl from Fast Times—up on top like a beautiful, brown-nippled bow.

Get the in-depth facts and figures on skincredible events that happened during the week of November 8th through November 14th.

This week's lesson in Skinstory includes Lindsay Lohan coming out as a lady-loving bisexual, Paris Hilton helping the women of the world smell sexier, Marisa Ryan of the sitcom Major Dad growing up naked and girl-girl loving it, Linda Lovelace landing on everyone’s lips upon the debut of Deep Throat, scream queen Linnea Quigley making it so Santa Claus isn’t the only one coming in Silent Night, Deadly Night, and Zora Kerova adding hot flesh to all the blood in the grindhouse great Cannibal Ferox.

Blast off to these heavenly bodies from today’s hit boob-tube fantasy series.

V, Lost, FlashForward, Heroes, Dollhouse, and all the various Stargate series make clear that today’s television is an extremely fertile atmosphere for cutting science fiction.

Of course, the best UFO stories always include hot T&A, so set your phasers to “stunned” as we salute a half-dozen of the hottest sci-fi starlets currently on the tube, along with where you can see each one nude.

Among the gorgeous intergalactic bedazzlers are Eliza Dushku nude, Elizabeth Mitchell nude, Morena Baccarin nude, Ali Larter nude, and more!

In celebrity skin terms, 1989 is noteworthy as a transitional time, and not always for the best . . . or the breast.

A-list stars, who just five years earlier could still be counted on for full-frontal film appearances and the occasional Playboy spread, clearly seemed to be moving in the direction of covered-up self-consciousness.

Top-notch flesh did arise, however, from late-night cable TV erotic thrillers, where a new breed of video vixen kept viewers up—way up—into the wee hours.

But let's look back at nine of the big stars who did strip down in the enduring favorites of 1989, including: Kelly Lynch nude in Road House, Jennifer Jason Leigh nude in Last Exit to Brooklyn, Bridget Fonda nude in Scandal, and more!

November 3, 1978
I Spit on Your Grave opens in theaters.

“Rape and revenge” stands as one of the most remarkable exploitation genres that, truly, only could have existed in the wild-and-wooly-bushed 1970s. And the Gone with the Wind of rape-and-revenge films is writer-director Meir Zarchi’s I Spit on Your Grave.

Willowy redhead Camille Keaton (granddaughter of silent-comedy great Buster Keaton) stars as a novelist whose solitary weekend retreat in the woods in interrupted by gang-rape. More than once. She then exacts payback via hanging, axe murder, and death by blood loss from a knife wound where a penis once was.

Spit played grindhouses and drive-ins deep into the 1980s and became an immediate blockbuster in the early days of home video.
