Is it true that whoever looks at someone's nakedness, such as in pornographic films, will be kept away from Paradise for 40 years?

Watching movies that display nakedness is forbidden. However, there is no stating that whoever looks at the nakedness of others will be distanced from Paradise by a specific measure. This confusion might stem from the warning mentioned regarding women who are dressed yet naked, who "will not enter Paradise, nor will they perceive its scent, though its scent can be perceived from such and such a distance" (Muslim). Some narrations of this Hadith state that its scent can be perceived "from a distance of forty autumns."
