So here's this highly acclaimed motion picture about a pre-industrial tribe and its customs. Perhaps the film details this tribe's interactions with European explorers, or takes place entirely before they arrive. It just so happens that in the culture displayed, the women wear very little clothing or walk around topless. But there's a part of you that can't help thinking the entire film is nothing but an excuse to have lots of people running around with few or no clothes on. The Trope Namer is National Geographic Magazine, which sometimes shows topless women when running an article on tribal cultures where the women don't customarily cover their breasts. Almost all PG-13- or R-rated movies owe their ability to show any skin to old nudist films in this vein, such as Holiday in the Sun or Garden of Eden. The trope originally concerned innocent and rather tame nudist documentaries; when the nudists of the time successfully fought for the right to show nudity on the silver screen for nudist films under the justification that it wasn't sexual, filmmakers used the new loophole to make hundreds of B Movies using the setting to allow them to show flesh. Films such as The House on Bare Mountain or The Beast that Killed Women nominally took place at a nudist colony or whatnot, but dropped this outside random shots of naked (or usually just topless) women — and never, ever, naked men. This trope is dominant on the Australian TV network SBS. Sometimes this is like Innocent Fanservice Girl on a culture-wide scale. For when it's a race of extraterrestrial beings, see Exposed Extraterrestrials. See also Poor Man's Porn for when National Geographic Nudity is used for more titillating purposes. Related to It's Not Porn, It's Art, Our Nudity Is Different. Needless to say, this is Truth in Television for many cultures, with norms about nudity varying wildly across the world and throughout human history. It can also have somewhat Unfortunate Implications because it turns people, especially women, who are just living their daily lives into someone else's sexual fantasy. During the European Slave Trade, African women were stereotyped as being extremely lustful because the Europeans mistook their relative nudity as sexual, and that concept has in some cases sadly lasted into the present. |

In Farnham Fables, the Lizard Folk natives of Glekutsu Village have no issue with female toplessness (despite having Non-Mammalian Mammaries). However, going around fully nude, like Dr. Keith does, is still considered unusual even by their standards. | |

Richard Corben's Den. In Neverwhere, there are no nudity taboos, although clothing can vary wildly. For instance, Den and Kath, who are buck naked, meet Kang, a warrior who is largely fully clothed with armor and a hooded cape and he never gives any comments about that. | |

In Rocketship Voyager, one of the tri-videos in the ship's library is an 'educational' movie about the shocking sybaritic rites of the Amazons of Venus! that "everyone watched and pretended not to". The trope is lampshaded when Venusian Half-Human Hybrid B'Elanna Torres shows Chakotay a page from National Geographic of an Amazon of Venus "bedecked in jewels, a sword harness, and not much else" that's being used as a pin-up. | |

The Simpsons: When Homer travels as a missionary to a remote Pacific Island to teach the tribe living there about the Bible, he is disappointed with the lack of nudity, leading the tribal chief to explain that Christian missionaries have already taught them "the gift of shame". Another tribesman then points across the bay and notes: "The naked women are all on that island." Homer looks forlornly toward the other island, from which he can hear female giggling. In the first episode, Lisa is in a play on Christmas in different countries, and does a tribal dance wearing nothing but a tribal mask, a coconut bra and a grass skirt. |

Trader Horn (1931) shows quite a bit of this as Horn and his protege Peru travel up an African river. Somewhat atypical for the era in that Peru, the young man of the pair, is shown quite obviously titillated by some of the comelier half-naked African women. | |

Far Cry Primal: Batari and most of the Izila women have both breasts exposed, but they cover them with blue paint, making it harder to notice. Most of the Wenja women cover both breasts, but you do get a few of them who wear tunics baring one breast. The majority of Udam women also fit this pattern. |

Nowhere in Africa: A plot point. Walter and Jettel, are German Jewish refugees from Hitler, who fled to Kenya but were interned as "enemy aliens" by British colonial authorities when war broke out. Recently released from internment, they see some Kenyan women walking by topless, carrying their burdens atop their heads. Walter dares Jettel to take her top off and walk like the native women do, and she does. Then out of nowhere he turns nasty and asks if she made any "friends" while interned. It turns out that he knows about the British officer she had sex with. | |

Although the movie obviously takes place in a fictional setting, a sci-fi variant applies to Avatar, where the Na'vi only wear a loincloth most of the time.

Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places): The women of Nontoonyt Island are all topless (including his future love Kalalau), something that excited Larry. Further accentuated after he returned to normal the native women Dr. Nonookee brainwashed as they respond by tearing off their tops. (By the third game, however, after "joining" the civilized world, all the Nontoonyt women wore practical clothing.) | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Zoras (including Princess Ruto) are completely naked, although the King wears some regal garments. The Zoras in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are similar in this regard, although their overall design is different (and far more human-like) compared to the Zoras in the Nintendo 64 games. This is averted for Princess Ruto in the 3DS re-release of Ocarina of Time, where Ruto was redesigned to have strategically-placed "fins" on her chest. Along with the other fins that she always had, this gave her the appearance of wearing a dress, in a way similar to Queen Rutela of Twilight Princess. This same design is used for Ruto in the spin-off game, Hyrule Warriors. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has more female Zoras than other games, but they ditch the chest fins; some of the race wear garments, but those barely cover much and don't bother with where they would anatomically have private areas. | |

Referenced in FoxTrot as Roger believes Jason to be looking at these kinds of pictures after locking himself in his bedroom having come home with an armload of National Geographic magazines (and is pleased, since Jason is still in the "girls are icky" phase).

Lampshaded to Hell and back by National Geographic themselves in their centennial anniversary issue. They printed a multipage essay and many cartoons in a special section discussing the trope. They ranged from one of 1980s anti-porn crusader Edwin Meese threatening to send a SWAT team to retrieve back issues from a suburban family, to the woman of a remote tribe hurriedly discarding their Western clothing and makeup for their own traditional garb on seeing a NatGeo team driving towards the village with a photography crew. | |

Brilliantly deconstructed on Sheena (2000). One episode starts with Sheena getting dressed in western-style clothes. When she puts on the bra, she doesn't know how to latch it shut, so she ties it up in back instead. This makes sense since she would have grown up around NGN being played straight, meaning she would have had no fully-dressed female role models to teach her how to correctly put on a bra. | |

The Clan of the Cave Bear, set in prehistoric times, does this in the Clan Meeting scene, with several female members of other clans casually bare-breasted. | |

T.E. Lawrence's autobiography The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (which was adapted into Lawrence of Arabia) describes Arab tribesmen sleeping naked with each other and thinking nothing of it, not because they are homosexual (which is expressly forbidden by their faith), but because they've gone so long without even seeing a woman that they are severely touch-starved. | |

See takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where the surviving humans have gone blind. While people still wear clothing to protect themselves from the elements, being naked is no longer considered indecent since nobody can see your exposed body. | |

The French animated movies Kirikou and the Sorceress, Kirikou and the Wild Beasts and Kirikou and the Men and Women by Michel Ocelot. African women are all topless, and the children, boys and girls, are fully nude, including the eponymous hero. Award-winning children's movies in Europe; can't be shown in the States without an R-rating. | |

Averted in Farewell To The King (1989). Although it was filmed on location using Borneo tribesmen, the women wore tops because the producers didn't want their movie to be Best Known for the Fanservice. | |

The Gods Must Be Crazy is another example, although it is a comedy. The protagonist (a Bushman from the Kalahari Desert in Africa) wears only a loincloth that covers his genitals but bares his buttocks. He sets out on a quest across the continent for reasons too complicated to mention here, precipitating a (for him) fascinating voyage of discovery and nonstop Values Dissonance. Along the way he sees many non-Bushman Africans, both black and white, and is puzzled by their "multicolored skins," and the fact they often have different colored "skins" on different parts of their body (i.e., clothes). He also spies a woman in her underwear (a lacy white bra and slip) and wonders why she has covered herself with cobwebs. | |

In the Book of Genesis, this was Adam and Eve before they ate the Forbidden Fruit. They were nude, but they had no concept of "naked" or "nudity" or "feeling naked." There was no shame or indecency surrounding their nudity. It was only after the fruit was eaten that they developed a concept of "naked" and felt self-conscious and ashamed of their nudity. When God questioned Adam as to why he and Eve were hiding (and wearing Improvised Clothes made of fig leaves), and Adam replied that it was because they were naked, it becomes an I Never Said It Was Poison moment. | |

Cannibal Holocaust: The nudity here is rampant, and part of the film's statement on the struggle between civilized and uncivilized societies (which the director intended as a slur against the Italian media). | |

Family Guy: In an episode when Chris runs away and joins the Peace Corps, he ends up with a tribe that wears only loincloths. When he dons one, the chief points at his crotch and exclaims "Oh my God, Chris! I can see your genitals!" When Chris reacts with embarrassment, the men laugh and the chief continues "It's OK. You can see everybody's junk!" In another episode, after Meg is believed to have wrecked the city's cable access, her teacher blames her for the class not getting to see a video about a tribe with topless, large-breasted women. |

Medicine Man has several scenes with almost or completely naked men, women and children, including a pair of shots of a line of women buttocks when said women are helping the heroine in her scientific research. But since all naked people are Native American, the movie got a PG-13 rating. | |
