Lots of people go outside naked or partially uncovered with no ill effects.
Connecting nudity to sex is a cultural thing. It's not natural or automatic.

Know what?Go outside naked and you will know
The body shame point is well taken.I don't promote body shame to my children, so if they wanted to do it is fine with me.
I saw the thread title.
I took my top off.
Now what?
I know I didn't specify any scene, movie, or kind of movie, but was hoping that one might consider the scene in American beauty.Would depend on how tasteful or degrading the scene in particular was.
Always a good point.In America, we tend to be very schizophrenic on this. It's not OK to show nudity on prime-time main-network television, and yet we see affairs constantly and blood and guts even more so. Studies have shown that young children are more affected by violence in the media than by nudity and even sex, and yet violence permeates the air-waves. Ever watch Scandal, for example, which has shown torture and dismemberment?
In no small part due to the puritanical influences of the Christian religion.American society in particular has developed very warped ideas about nudity, especially in public.
Agreed.I think our society needs to loosen up; frankly, that that scene mentioned above was considered "necessary" for the development of the character in the movie seems necessary only because American culture is so sexually and bodily repressed. .
I wouldn't object if it is not for some ulterior motive, but it would be her choice in the end anyway at 16. They're just boobies. @turk179 may have something to say about it, but I don't think he'd be too far off from my opinion, though he's free to correct me.
My hubby. Daddy to my kids. He doesn't post a lot here. On and off, here and there.Who's turk179?

indeed it is .Doesn't answer my question.
I know some places, they prepared for.?? There are plenty of places where people go about naked. Nothing is seen as wrong with it.
There are nude beaches, nudist colonies where all aspects of life may be carried out nude, and some societies/villages where partial or total nudity is the norm. You know what is neat about such places and societies? They tend to have a much lower rate, if at all, of sexual harassment or violation. That's right. By accepting nudity as normal they de-sexualize it and have less sexual perversion issues than those socities that cover up.I know some places, they prepared for.
but in ALL places, especially in public areas, that's definitly would make a big problem
What's the strange smiley for?Oh... okay!

Where it is against the law, sure. This thread was originally about toplessness though and there are public places where that isnt against the law. I mean, legally, I could walk outside right now topless if I wanted to. It isn't covered under Iowa indecent exposure laws, so technically, it isnt against the law for me to go topless as per the state. Some local municipalities have their own laws though.I told you I know that some places allowing.
In USA or Europe , does not that make a problem to walk naked in road , or airoport or public areas , with people or police ?

I'm a pussycatUm, nothing. I'm just a scardy cat.
Some theories in a particular Psychology Today article seem to disagree with that but I'm a bit on the fence one way or the other.Know what?
