Top Ten Best TV Shows For Male Nudity

<< Blog | Top Ten Lists Tuesday, April 15, 10:26 AMTue, 15 Apr 2025 @ 10:26 AM by his_excellency

Niche audiences aren’t the only ones scouting male nudity in television shows these days. The success of The White Lotus proves that skin is always in, and that more people than you might suspect are curious to see what their favorite stars are packing. Male nudity is more prevalent on TV than ever before, while at the same time, the male physique is less taboo than ever. So, where does that leave us?

It leaves us with more scandalous shows than will fit on this top ten list, that’s where! We dug through both pioneering shows of the past as well as present-day flesh fests to bring you the Top Ten Best TV Shows For Male Nudity, ever. We wouldn’t be where we are today without groundbreaking shows like Oz and True Blood, both of which leveled the playing field in bringing as much - or more, in the case of Oz - male nudity compared with female nudity.

The White Lotus is a powerhouse for male nudity discourse and dominates headlines when it comes to seeing stars nude on screen. And let’s not forget about the incredible reality television nudity in the controversial reality series Naked Attraction.

We’re also thrilled to see so many offerings with gay characters. Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey get naked for intense sex scenes in Fellow Travelers, while Euphoria’s flashback episode brings us closeted high school lovers naked in the locker room. Keep scrolling for all of these nude television scenes and more! Forget the boob tube, today is about the dude tube.

10) A New Era Of Nudity in The White Lotus (2021-Present)

The White Lotus represents the future of male nudity. The scenes here broke out of the gay memesphere and into mainstream media, unlike any show that came before. Everyone (like, everyone) discussed Jason Isaacs’ penis and Patrick Schwarzenegger’s gay sex scene with his on-screen brother, played by Sam Nivola.

9) Teen Drama Is Taken To The Extreme in Euphoria (2019-Present)

Parents who thought they had it bad when Gossip Girl (which was coined “Every parent's nightmare” by the Boston Herald) aired in the 2000s couldn’t handle the heat Euphoria is giving off. The graphic nudity takes a turn for the sexy when Eric Dane’s character gets a flashback episode in which his younger self (Elias Kacavas) is presented with his high school crush’s (Henry Eikenberry) hairy cock in the locker room.

8) The Hung Cocks in All The Queen’s Men (2021-Present)

Of all the recent stripper-focused series (P-Valley, Welcome To Chippendales, etc.) no one does it like All The Queen’s Men. The focus here is on huge Black cocks. No apologies are given in bringing Michael Bolwaire and Jeremy Williams’ horse hung cocks to the small screen in a number of gratuitous nude scenes. That’s how you do it!

7) Matt Bomer Breeds Jonathan Bailey in Fellow Travelers (2023)

This heartbreaking gay drama received raves from critics and horndogs alike. Never has a romance between two men been so nuanced in a television show. Bomer and Bailey fuck like two men actually fuck, with bottom Bailey doing what his master says, even going so far as to stick Bomer’s foot in his mouth. This is must-seed television.

6) Alexander Skarsgard, Joe Manganiello, and More Nude in True Blood (2008-2014)

HBO’s campy vampire series made stars out of Alexander Skarsgard and Joe Manganiello, and ushered in a new era of salacious television. The iconic intro elicited a Pavlovian response from viewers, who knew the odds of seeing a nude man in each new episode were in their favor. Who hasn’t fantasized about Ryan Kwanten nude?

5) Christopher Meloni’s Penis And Gay Sex Scenes in Oz (1997-2003)

Even with nearly three decades to process, we can’t believe Oz existed in the 90s. Oz predated The Sopranos by two years, and is partly responsible for ushering in the era of Prestive Television that we enjoy to this day. Oh, and it was super gay. Daddy Christopher Meloni shows off his cock in as many scenes as he can, and has some crazy gay sex to boot.

4) Swords, Sandals, And Not Much Else in Spartacus (2010-2012)

In only two seasons, the unabashedly homoerotic series Spartacus delivered more nude scenes than Game Of Thrones did in eight seasons. This is a seminal series for gay audiences, delivering what we all want from a historical drama/fantasy series - swords, sandals, and not much else! Hint: To see if someone’s gay, see if they know who Manu Bennett is.

3) Spanish Prep School Boys Have Sex in Elite (2018-2024)

Audiences have been inundated with sexy high school dramas for decades, but even buzzy shows like Riverdale and Gossip Girl can’t compete with Elite. No other teen show can. The Netflix series made stars out of Manu Rios and Aron Piper, who joined a slew of other young men in getting naked and having realistic gay sex on camera. The things that the Las Encinas locker room has seen…

2) Reality Cock in Naked Attraction (2016-TBD)

Sure, plenty of reality television shows feature male nudity, but Naked Attraction takes things to the extreme. Each episode, a contestant chooses a date from six naked people in boxes. Each round, more of their bodies are exposed, starting with the feet and moving up. The show seeks to destigmatize nudity by bluntly airing everything out on camera. The result? Dick overload.

1) 106 Male Nude Scenes in Shameless (2011-2021)

The Showtime series Shameless featured a touching gay storyline with Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher. The two even famously experiment with Ben Wa balls. Plus stars like Steve Howey and Zach McGowan flaunt their cocks in brazen full frontal nude scenes. Oh, and don’t forget that Shameless was Jeremy Allen White’s breakout performance, and that we see Jeremy Allen White nude in 15 of the show’s 106 nude scenes. Yes, there are that many!
