Clothed male, naked female

Clothed male, naked (or nude) female (often abbreviated as CMNF) is female nudity in which one or more women are nude while one or more men are clothed.

Feminists argue that such images "are objectionable, and objectify women". However, the same can be argued for the case of males, for example with CFNM.

Entertainment columnist Earl Wilson details several experiences involving one-sided female nudity in his book Show Business Laid Bare. In the chapter titled "Cheri Caffaro: A Strange Interlewd," Wilson writes about his experience interviewing actress Cheri Caffaro while she was nude and he was fully dressed.

One-sided female nudity has been a theme in art, particularly in Orientalist paintings of the 19th century. A typical scene may be a depiction of white slavery in which one or several nude women are displayed before an audience of men as part of a slave auction. The archetypal example of this type of scene is Jean-Léon Gérôme's The Slave Market, in which a nude female slave is examined by a potential buyer. Another example is Gérôme's Phryné devant l'Areopage (Phryne before the Areopagus, 1861) which was based on the trial of Phryne before the Areopagus in ancient Greece. The odalisque (harem scene) was also a popular subject for depicting one-sided female nudity, although the clothed figures in the scene were not always male.
