I mean, what man will not mind seeing his wife/girlfriend sharking naked on TV? I know some men won't mind sharking with another woman on TV, but a hurt woman can't be a pretty site.

I did not understand your last statement but you have a different but very valid view. Bottomline there are still so many Africans who hold the view that all actors are ashewos even with just kissing. I think it is because most people do not see behind the scene footages of how these things are done.
However, movies do teach or are windows into our lives. Whether we like it or not, what obtains in many African homes is not love making and that accounts in part for many divorces when these couples move to the Europe or North America.
One thing I noticed in Naija is that a lot of men hug or kiss their wives more these days than they used to when i was growing up, and i am giving that up to the 15 years influence of Nollywood.
I believe that film makers should tell their stories properly and there are several tricks and ways to do it. Don't tell me two people are making love fully cloth unless they are cheating and have to get the hell out of there fast. If you risk your flick being banned then for goodness sake cut another version for that country. Nigeria is even divided, if I had, I would cut a different version for the north and the south.
