In fact, Fifty Shades of Grey's best moments have no nudity in them at all: an innuendo-filled conversation in the hardware store where Ana works, for example or a silly drunken phone call or the early part of a 'business meeting' to negotiate what Anastasia will and won't do with Christian. While the pair generates more heat than the negative press about them would suggest, it's not nearly enough to merit the third of the movie they spend having or talking about sex.
