The big news on DVD and Blu-ray this week is Helen Hunt’s fantastic full frontal debut in The Sessions (2012). It’s Oscar worthy nudity, but if you're hankering for more prurient pictures head on over to the Euro-Sleaze Collection. The smutty set includes a slew of Euro-babes getting down and dirty in The Sister of Ursula (1978), The Sinful Dwarf (1973), and Hanna D. – The Girl From Vondel Park (1984). Finally, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) is non-nude, but Harry Potter hottie Emma Watson does strip to her skivvies, which will leave you feeling pretty perky!

You know how actresses are always talking about how they'd go nude "for the right role"?
Although she admits she was uncomfortable with nudity earlier in her career, for 49-year-old Helen Hunt, The Sessions (2012) was it.
"I'd never heard of a sex surrogate, and I didn't even think about it, frankly — I just thought, I never read a good movie, and this is a good movie," Helen tells New York Magazine's Vulture about her racy role. "She had this enthusiasm and this sense of adventure about sex, and I'd never seen anything like it."
"I could tell [writer-director Ben Lewin] had an interesting take on the whole thing," Helen says about her choice to go full frontal for the first time in her career. "I felt scared to do the part, but I didn't feel scared of [nudity]."
Not that it was easy: "I had to be vulnerable for so long...I loved it and felt liberated by it, but by the twelfth hour, I just wanted to be in my sweatpants, in my zip-up hoodie, socks on my feet, eating an In-N-Out burger in my bed," she says.
So should young actresses take on roles that require nudity? "You gotta pay your rent," Helen says. "You gotta pay your rent, and you have to feel good about your choices, you know what I mean? So wherever you can find the balance between those two things, that's the line you have to draw."
It's been five years since the last time we saw Helen Hunt nude in Then She Found Me (2007), so take a stroll down mammary lane with pics and clips right here at MrSkin.com!
There are two approaches to onscreen nudity. One is the Shannon Elizabeth/Linnea Quigley school, where an actress makes her anatomical assets the center of attention in a series of comedy (or horror) flicks-- and her career. The other is the Kate Winslet/Michelle Williams school, where an actress uses onscreen nudity to prove that she's "serious" about her art and deserves an armload of awards like so.
It's a little late for Helen Hunt to get on the "scream queen" bandwagon, so she's enrolled in the latter school for her new movie The Sessions (formerly known as The Surrogate), where she makes her full frontal debut as a sex therapist with an unusual specialty: personally relieving patients of their virginity.
Nudecomer Annika Marks also goes nude in the film, which is already garnering serious awards buzz for Hunt as well as for John Hawkes as one of her disabled clients. If all else fails, Helen, rest assured: you're an early favorite for an Anatomy Award.
