How it's used
Refers specifically to the act of watching performances or scenes featuring nudity, often implying a slightly sleazy or voyeuristic context. It is not used to describe medical examinations or artistic life drawing sessions. The term carries a casual, often judgmental or gossipy tone when discussing entertainment venues or films.
Examples
That movie has so many nude scenes, don't take the kids to watch it.
Is the bar they went to specifically for watching nude shows?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 睇戲, which is the general term for watching any movie or play. Using 睇肉 to describe a standard cinema experience will sound like you are implying the movie is pornographic or contains explicit content.
