What Scriptures would you use to show someone that it is wrong to see nudity in movies and TV (or anywhere other than your spouse)? I am not really look for verses against Tv and movies in general but just that particular issue?

Hab 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Drunkenness is associated with nudity.
Luk 8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.
Demon posession is marked by nudity.
Eph 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
lasciviousness - unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence
1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
uncleanness -
a) physical
b) in a moral sense: the impurity of lustful, luxurious, profligate living
1) of impure motives
There is a few scriptures to jump start some personal study. Nakedness is not spoken of very well in the bible.

Dear Shoshana,
It is so good to see you on, I think of you often and wonder how you are doing. May the Lord bless you dear sister. This verse popped into my mind. Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.Here are a few more that go with it! Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Jer 29:23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.Interesting! even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD God sees all! People do not truly care what the Lord desires or thinks, they do not fear God...they are far from God and greatly deceived.Jeremiah 7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Women should be careful about their eyes and keep their hearts too.Eze 16:32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! I hope that was helpful....There are many more good verses on this topic.
My thoughts were that if someone is involved with viewing or looking at nudity or immodesty, then they will lust in their minds thus committing adultery.
Have a great day sister! Love ~ Darlene ~
