nudity | A thirteen-year-old boy is stripped down to his tighty-whities by his mother and sits on the edge of the bathtub while she prepares a bath. She then tells him to strip "butt naked" and he quickly complies, sliding his underwear down past his hips, around his ankles and off, revealing his bare bottom. He quickly covers his privates with his hands, but his mother rips his hands away. She forces him into the bath and proceeds to bathe him, vigorously rubbing all over his naked body, buttocks included. The boy is seen mostly from behind, but there are a few shots from the side in which his penis is briefly visible, and even from behind his scrotum can be seen hanging down between his legs. |
