The Naked Body:

[Chesto]

I have nothing against people in the nude at all, nothing against people who want to be nude either. As I said thats their personal choice :)

 

But I don't agree with people walking around streets in the nude, but beaches, swimming pools don't bother me if people are nude or not, and children SHOULD NEVER be nude in either of the locations.

 

Okay...about to enter the big taboo of our age: children nude, or naked. Either im having deja vu, again :blink: , or i have commented on this somewhere else.

 

I seem to remember drawing a distinction between 'naked' as a sort of active word, and 'nude' as the passive. As it pertains to children, i will use nude. I have a ton of neices and nephews, and all have gone on beach holidays throughout all their ages. And they were nude pretty much the whole time, til puberty. So they have grown up thinking nothing of being unclothed in public. And i think they're better off for it.

 

This isnt strictly on topic, but just how far do we, as a culture, and a society, at least here in the west, allow the perverts to govern what should be absolutely natural activities? In this case, children being allowed to run around in the nude, in public, and in front of other people not related to them. Though, the whole 'perverts rule' thing applies equally to adult nudity, as well.

 

I, for one, dont always want to have my life governed by the lowest common denominator. In this case, what a pervert may or may not be getting off on by seeing me, or mine, nude. If your aesthetics are grossed out by seeing me, a late middle aged, somewhat overweight, long haired man nude, fair enough. I may not like your six pack. Or your shaved head. But those are just our likes and dislikes.

 

Let us not give any more way to the pervs!

That sounds reasonable... It recalls to mind a quote I heard from somewhere... "I am so tired of rearranging my life around what the stupidest people MIGHT do!" (Modify the word "stupidest" to whatever applies.)

Being a country girl myself I also know the difference between naked and nekked.

 

And nekked is WAY more fun!

:)

 

Hahahahahaha

 

 

Yup! up with country girls!

Children nude...absolutely not!. But as an adult, no one has the right to push their moral judgements on me. If the fact of nudity bothers you,thats your choise.Don't go to nude beaches or to places where nudity is accepted,and in some cases charished.

I don't care if you want to wear clothing, so don't tell me I don't have the right to wear sexy or revealing clothing or to go topless or nude. IY's my choice, not yours. Your hang-ups on nudity and your moral dilemma are yours and yours alone. I'm attractive, have a nice body and I'm only on this planet one time!!! So guess what. I'm living and enjoying life to the fullest. No regrets when I get old, and no "gosh, I wish I had done that when I had the chance to"

Again this is directed at no-one, so please don't get on your high-horse and take offense to what I said!

 

i totallyagree with you , as long it is at a nude beach its fine by me. i have the choice weather to see it or not....Unlike flashers who enjoy revealing them selfs on purpose to freak you out for their sick pleasures.

I've posed in the nude for a professional Photographer,and see nothing wrong in it. The photos are tastefully done and classy!. I celibrate the human body in all its beauty and do not believe that it wrong to enjoy one of the most beautiful forms of life on the planet!

Einstein was right in more ways than he intended when he said that all things are relative.

 

Here in Brazil, we see much more skin that in the US. Beachwear is very small. Advertisement on TV, outdoors and magazines have lots of revealing skin. Nipples and pubic area always covered, thou.

 

I knew an American professional that refused to be transferred to Brazil because he didn’t want his children exposed to so much skin.

 

And many of my friends would never live in Tahiti, because they consider topless as shameful (and it seems it is commonplace there).

 

On the extremes, I suppose there should be Tahitian families that would never live somewhere where full nudity is normal. And there must be a lot of families in Middle East that would never live in America, as American women run around with ‘naked’ faces.

Haha Too Funny! I happen to be also as I have to jump into the shower in a moment and my husband and I just had a little afternoon fun, before we go take some friends out crabbing on our crab boat. (We have a pleasure boat also, but crabbing is fun and tasty!)
