On Wednesday night during a Television Academy screening and panel for the hit series 'Orange is the New Black,' actress Taylor Schilling (a.k.a. Piper) touched upon nudity in the show, among other topics along with creator Jenji Kohan and cast members Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes), Danielle Brooks (Taystee), Kate Mulgrew (Red), Laverne Cox (Sophia) and Selenis Leyva (Gloria). 

During the discussion it was revealed that Schilling has been known to make nervous calls to Jenji Kohan to voice concerns over the edgy subject material, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I've been scared of the nudity, so I've needed some hand holding," Schilling admitted.

"And it is in those conversations with Kohan, she said, that she's reminded of the truth of the scene, and the fact that there isn't gratuitous sex or nudity in the Orange scripts," THR pointed out.

"It's a physical manifestation of the internal vulnerability. Once that's very clear, as an actor, I can go anywhere," she said, adding: "I've gained a lot of confidence through that, too."

According to Kohan, she welcomes "that kind of dialogue, and insists that she never writes nude scenes carelessly." She also realizes that's it's not easy to disrobe and if using nudity, she added: "I better have a good reason because I know it's asking a lot."

Yet the current level of nudity on "OITNB" isn't enough for Kohan.

"If I had my way, I'd have a lot more," she said.

She stressed her "desire to showcase a variety of shapes, colors and sizes in the flesh," THR pointed out. "We still have this prudish, puritanical culture, and we also have so little exposure to diversity in bodies," she said.

Schilling backed Kohan's point, "noting the value of displaying a full range of bodies, as opposed to the size zero ideal being foisted upon us by the fashion industry."

Given the mission and the platform, would you be ready for your birthday suit?
