We were traveling in the UK when the series of three TV shows ("The Great British Body") was telecast. Impressive. The focus was on encouraging people to accept their bodies and celebrate them no matter the lumps, bumps, excessive curves, etc., etc. The message was wholesome and positive, showing far more flesh than would be allowed in the US, and doing it without giggling or titillating.

By "far more flesh" I mean that there wasn't any part of the body that was off limits or blurred. Penises of various size, shapes, and conditions (circumcised and not) were shown briefly but clearly in close up detail, as were a variety of breasts and bums. Always fitting the context naturally; always having good fun; but always working to help people accept their bodies and give up body shame.

As bad as US TV is, I was dismayed to find that much of British TV is even worse—but this series was a shining star doing credit to those who produced it and to a nation not afraid to have it shown. It didn't even seem to cause controversy, as I didn't see anything about it in the papers.

perhaps a series like this on our side of the pond would help desexualize the naked body, thereby enabling the more gymnophobic in our society to relax and enjoy social nudity ... ?
