Reminds me of when I was 12 or so.
These women were going around door to door with a petition to make it legal for women to walk around topless. I could see their point, men can go topless in public and women should be able too as well. I'm amazed the womens rights organization hasn't tried to get that legal.

I read an interview by a man once who said that he had been struggling with addiction for a good part of his life. He was addicted to heroin and to pornography. Guess which one he said was the harder addiction to break by far? That's right, porn.

What people desire to do in the privacy of their home is up to them, but don't make the rest of us see you're naked butts in a family park.

Here lies part of the problem.
The only exposure most kids get of a naked body is from pornography or sex scenes on tv/movies. So why do we find it odd that they associate nakedness with sex ?

If you get a chance watch some of the national geographic documentaries on tribes that never wear clothes. The children are not obsessed with sex and the tribes walk around without clothing like its no big deal

Most parents go overboard on the paranoia.
:thumbsup: Unless you look bad nekid, in which case, please keep your damned clothes on, for the love of all that is in good taste. ;)

When my kids were young, I left the Playboys laying around, but put away the Hustlers.

When my oldest boy was about 12, he had a friend over, and they went into the living room. My wife (in the kitchen) overheard the friend say something like"Oh wow! A Playboy with naked pictures!.". She heard our boy respond "Well, that's no big deal.".

I never thought nudity was much of an issue, and the youngest of my 4 kids is now 31, and none of them was corrupted or perverted by seeing nudity.



Thats what you think, dad. You should have seen the quadriplegic asian dominatrix wearing a furry costume with a goat on a leash I had over here last night.

Like the human face. Some people are good looking, some are not so, but in your daily relationship with the public, you never dwell on someone?s looks. Not the lady at the bank, the insurance salesman, the person at the drive thru window, or the mechanic working on your car. Nudist react no differently being around nude people, ugly or not. That negative conditioning from society, that we were all raised on, just ?vanishes?.
Actually its the most refreshing, free feeling, mind clearing feeling you'll ever experience. Not in being nude, but in not having the ?burden? of that hang-up towards nudity. Something that you would have to experience to understand at all.

I do.

It really depends on the people... I personally would not let them be there just because of the scaring it would do to your brain. If I was there and there were a ton of fat asses or old people who were ugly and nude.. I think I might kill myself on the spot.

How can you not feel that way?

You are a horrible human being. You deserve third degree burns over most of your body and a case of hypothyroidism. Maybe that'll teach you.

i'm a terrible person too i guess :(

Try a sheep next time. Head-butts in the nuts can kill the whole evening.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I think a ban on public nudity would be a healthy thing, at least where kids and/or people who did not want to see naked people running around were located. Contrary to what some of you posted, I think kids being introduced to the human body by pornography is about the worst possible way. Do you really want your sons and daughters thinking that the only thing of worth a female has to contribute lies in her body? Do you really want them to think that the sex act's only purpose is for momentary gratification? Sorry, but that just seems totally backwards to me. Expose kids to pornography so they won't become perverts one day.

I'm pretty much in full agreement with you.
I have no desire to see a bunch of men flaunt themselves in front of my wife and childen. Nor would my wife and children desire it.
But yes, we do seem to be in the minority here.
