If I were an actor in the 60's or 70's I don't think I would have had any problem dropping trou for a role. Back then, the only way someone could see the scene was in the actual theatre. After that in most cases the movie was never seen again. If the movie was a hit, it might make a tv appearance some years later, but your nude scene would be of course be edited out by the networks.

Cut to 2010. Between HBO, vcrs, DVD players, pause buttons, photoshop, bitorrent and master scene cappers, everything you showed, and much you did not intend to are lightened and enlarged and posted on stupid blogs like this.

There are actors who did nude scenes 20 and 30 years ago who never intended to have their penis wagging back and forth who now find scenes, once dark and blurry in theatres, well lit and clear on computers. Thanks goodness many actors still don't mind dropping trou for their art and their fans.
There are some actors whose careers really took off when they began to drop trou. I mean as good as an actor Ryan Phillippe has become, he owes much of his early success to women and men rushing out to see his nude scenes. Hollywood seems to know having young actors showing a bit of skin is good for business too.
