Somehow Tom's past excited her and it is a part of her sexuality that had been hidden away for fear of exposure and a sense of shame. Showing nudity as a visual representation of openness is the oldest trick in the book. It was not gratuitous in that it panned long and hard. It was there just to symbolize what internally was going on with the wife. Cronenberg said quite openly that he considers sex and violence to be partners.

Of course, for Iggy, the nudey shot was long enough for him to rewind, pause and "get that feeling."
