Nudity comes with a purpose. The White Lotus is one of HBO’s most popular shows airing right now, but with every primetime show, there has to be some kind of violence and skin.

The dramedy has tackled topics of classism, money, love, sex, and death within its three seasons. With a slew of characters changing every season (with the exception of one that stays loyal to the resort), creator Mike White says that the resort is an easy way to get insight into these topics with different dynamics. “I wanted to do a kind of operatic roundelay,” White told The Guardian. “Mismatched lovers. People sneaking into hotel rooms. More of a sexual revolving door. I think that keeps it interesting, the idea that the content is shape-shifting. So when people come back to the show it’s not the same as it was before.”

Also to White, it’s a different kind of territory. “As a director, I’m very timid about asking people to undress and get into sexual situations,” he told NPR. “It’s not my wheelhouse. There were definitely times on this shoot that I was like, what have I got myself into? My threshold for awkwardness is very low. The actors are much more confident and uninhibited than I am. That was new terrain for me. It just felt like it was important because it really is baked into the narrative.”

He continued, “It’s funny, though, how now that the show is airing, how much you realize a graphic sex scene or a sex scene that kind of is titillating for various reasons, does just spike and generate an interest in the populace, for better or worse.”

Season 3 is gearing up to look a little bit more nude. Jason Isaacs’ character flaunts a bit of his penis in episode four. “Look, he’s trying to right the balance of how many naked women I’ve seen growing up on every television show and film,” Isaacs said. “Nudity is the thing. He uses it sometimes for comedy, sometimes for sex, sometimes the manipulation. It’s a good TV moment.”
