Nudity

Do you find nudity offensive?

I don't think it's just our society, there are many societies, even small villages out in the middle of nowhere where some type of covering is common and considered the norm, then there are some that don't. I find it interesting that some people that have had almost zero contact with the outside world have developed ways to obscure their bodies from public viewing whether with a simple leaf or bamboo tube, and it's not just to protect their more tender areas when in the jungle, forests, etc, they wear it in their villages as well so the compulsion to cover oneself extends beyond the "civilized" worlds training. Interestingly enough, you generally don't see the children in the same villages where adults cover themselves covering themselves- it only happens when they get older, possibly when they reach sexual maturity?

I agree, nudity can be non-sexual but sexuality is a part of our human-animal makeup. To completely seperate nudity from sexuality is unrealistic. Let's say a woman and a man walk down the street nude, not really a big deal, like a nudist colony. Let's say that these same nude people are walking down the street and are sexually aroused (which happens), the man has an erection and the womans vagina is wet, it's a different story.

I find nothing offensive about nudity or sexuality, what I do find offensive is that it is generally used by slick advertisers to help sell products/fill in time in a poorly scripted movie as a substitute for intelligent plot or dialog (unless it's porn- it's honest about it's intention and content-generally, LOL ) or to cheaply titillate with little effort, it doesn't even have to be visual, just the word "sex" attracts attention and will keep some glued to the T.V. It's not the nudity or the sex I find offensive, but the the seemingly general idea in our society that the cheap use of it compensates for mediocrity.

Of course nudity is not offensive; isn't evil in the eye of the beholder?
Which, of course takes us back to the garden of Eden, and that damned snake..............

My son! HooooWeeeeeee what a stinker.

I find nude women attractive and distracting. I avoid seeing or imagining any women as naked, except for my wife.
 
It is a fact that opposite sexes get sexually aroused upon seeing the other sex nude that is 95 % of the time because you can simply not like what you see and thus not get aroused.... So if we would say nudity is OK then it would be the equivalent of saying sexual arousal is OK then we would have to find a way to end that arousal , that burning sensation that has to be dealt with somehow.... so it will be either by masturbation or by sex .

Masturbation is OK for most ppl but if you were to look at it scientifically you would find it hurts mentally and physically.

Sex on the other hand is ok if you are married but if you're not married it would just make society sink in what it has sunk in till now , sex sex sex and more sex everybody sleeping with everybody ... aids ... illegitimate children .... Single mothers and so on and so forth and that is all the result of nudity and men and women mingling without any rules or regulations.

Tell me where I am wrong …. Tell me that is not happening and society is not being damaged in any way.

Your premise is wrong. In the many nude beaches and nude swimming halls I have been to in Europe, I have not seen one erection. Nudity IS okay - it is the preocupation with sex or the supression of sex that is not okay.

Masturbation is OK for most ppl but if you were to look at it scientifically you would find it hurts mentally and physically.
And hairy palms too?

Obviously you have not spent much time in Europe or the public baths of Japan as I have.

Tell me where I am wrong …. Tell me that is not happening and society is not being damaged in any way.[/QUOTE]Sexuality is responsible for sex and that comes in many guises of which nudity is but one and not a "sure fire one" at that. Context man, context!

I would say that the "up-tightness" of some does more damage. Extremes of most pleasures causes more damage.

Bullbutter!
It does remind me of one of my favorite jokes though:
Mom walks into the room, where she finds her son masturbating. She goes straight to the Dad, and tells him he needs to have a talk with his son. Dad marches into the bedroom and gives his son the old standard "If you keep that up, you're going to go blind!"
Whereupon, the son replies "Dad, I'm over here!" :jiggy:
