The First Film simulating a nudity scene on screen: Après le Ball or the toilet. Toilet has been one of the first interest in pornography as in high society the husband couldn't assist to this intimate moment. Normally he could assist to the toilet of a prostitute, this is also why there are many woman doing a toilet in Toulouse Lautrec painting.

Michael Brooke’s Georges Méliès blog describes the action, shall we say, as follows: “A woman enters her boudoir, and her maid helps her to undress, peeling off her outer garments until she is clad in a shift and stockings. She sits down, and the maid helps remove the latter. Almost naked aside from skimpy underwear, the woman gets into a tub and the maid pours the contents of a large jug over her, drying her off with a towel afterwards. They leave the room together.” While modern-day adult filmmakers can and do continue to dine out on such premises, After the Ball‘s rendition of the circumstances now looks tame enough to play freely on Youtube. Brooke adds that this film, along with Collings’ and probably Pirou’s, was “marketed as being suitable for private screenings to broad-minded bachelors.” Méliès’ contribution to this innovation must have made for a few worthwhile fin de siècle bachelor parties.
