Madonna says, "It is still astounding to me that we live in a culture that allows for every inch of a woman's body to be shown except her nipple. As if that is the only part of a woman's anatomy that could be sexualised. The nipple that nourishes the baby!"
The Material Girl singer asked, "Can't a man's nipple be experienced as erotic? And what about a woman's ass which is never censored anywhere."
