Public Nudity

[Phausk]

I ain't no nudist, but I have been thinking about this lately.

How has nudity become so offensive in society? Worse yet, how has it become illegal? It's our natural state, so I find it strange to not allow people that freedom. I don't think it's going to destroy the minds of children if they're not raised to view it as bad and shameful.

I'm curious what other people think about it.

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not see the natural state of the grossly obese and sick people.

[#00Buck]

It would be non-stop rape 24/7.

[Chrysocyon]

In some places, it's illegal to blow your nose in public.  Doesn't matter what's natural, people just don't want to see gross stuff.

[DrDingo]

Children will point and ask about anything. If nudity was commonplace, you'd get children asking men about their willies. And that would be creepy

Let's not have children talking to men about their willies

I agree

we need children to fear their bodies

Remove sex education from schools!

Children do not need to learn about those things!! ever!!!

[Alexxx-Returns]

I imagine it's probably one of those situations where people can't be trusted with certain privileges. I mean, you get flashers, you have people who just HAVE to show off their bits and pieces even when clothed.

Non-stop windmilling.

[Luka]

We're not cavemen anymore, keep your darn clothes on.

[Mikazuki Marazhu]

In fantasy yes, I'd like that. 

A world where everybody is naked and casual sex is like giving someone a handshake.

Me: I'm Home!

*Founds mom and bara dad fucking in them living room*

Mom: Oh honey... welcome home! Dinner is not ready yet! Let me finish up your dad first.

*Sits beside dad and watches porn on channel 5*

Dad: So.. how school son? 

Me: Uhhh... I got B+ on my Anal studies.

Mom: That's great son! You'll a grew prostitute like your dad one day!

[Fantasma]

It's not that big of a deal.

 

Honestly, as long as the people involved maintain a basic level of hygiene and everybody has some kind of towel to sit on I don't see an issue.

[DrGravitas]

But, if everybody were naked all the time, it'd be boring and mundane. I like nudity to be tantalizing and exciting!

Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.

[Sourdough]

Public nudity, like public speaking, is best left to the professionals.

[Recel]

It has little to do with how it's our natural state.

It's offensive, gross and bad because this is the way we socially evolved over the centuries. There were times when people hid their bodies under clothing even more (renesance), there were times where they hid it less (greeks). This is how our views about the world and ourselves changed over time.

And it's not something that will change any time soon.

I'm definitely glad that public nudity is not allowed since I'm about to cram myself onto a greyhound bus for eight hours with all kinds of colorful individuals. I think it's silly that male nipples are fine but female nipples are obscene though. 

Also, nudity can be an awesome bonding experience, even among friends. A lot of my high school buddies are the hippie-dippie raver and festival attendee type crowd, and some of the funnest times have been when we all decided to go skinny dipping

[Vallium]

well there was that time someone ate an apple and then decided that leaves were a great fashion choice and humanity has been uber fashionable since

[DrDingo]

We need something to cover awkward boners, though.

People might just get the wrong idea, because sometimes this shit's just random. Or you might just really need to piss.

[Spot]

I can just picture it now: Aww will you lookit that, hon, our little boy has just gotten his first pube! How adorable. :3

[Guest]

Remove ALL of the clothes. My eyes might have to endure some fat/old/plain fugly people but look at the brighter side, we would never have to strip hot people with our immagination ever again. That hot chick you see on the subway? She won't have anything to hide her pretty body with C:

But as Gravitas mentioned, if nudity were normal it would be just that: normal and unexciting. I don't know what I'd choose in the end. The fact that public nudity is prohibited makes it indeed kinda tantalizing...

[Mikazuki Marazhu]

 I heard that there are some tribes in the amazon that lives their lives naked

[Vallium]

Solution: Go to nudist areas. Problem solved.

 I heard that there are some tribes in the amazon that lives their lives naked

they also hit each other with sticks and eat raw meat :V

[Crunchy]

Public nudity is over-rated. I enjoy being warm, I enjoy fashion, and I enjoy that sharing my naked body with some one is a special moment, that it's erotic and exciting. I dont want any of that taken away from me for the fantasies of a select few who just wana see people naked all the time. That's what the internet is for.

[PastryOfApathy]

No one wants to your gross man fat.

I believe a loincloth is considered partial nudity. Even savages have some dignity. 

[Vallium]

Aye well if theres something Igotta agree with its definitely that people dislike nudity to the point of shaming it...which is weird it IS a natural state, there isnt anything particularly weird about naked people except for the fact that we cover ourselves for many a good other reason.

I just dont understand the extreme derision of natural processes and things, what are we being so hush hush about things like sex for? Its nothing older kids shouldnt learn or at some point, its a natural biological process.

[Spot]

I believe the censorship and outlook on nudity is mainly due to religious fanatics. Cover your shame in the eyes of "God".

Another reason why religion destroys everything. 

[Revates]

I think we should be more open and proud of our bodies but that doesn't mean go around naked, although that might make summer easier to deal with. I also imagine it'd make disease easier to spread.

And as Doc said it'd make it boring and mundane.

[Sidewalk Surfboard]

I'd rather not look at old people's floppy cocks and tits thank you very much

But looking at your own is okay?

[Sidewalk Surfboard]

But looking at your own is okay?

I don't wanna look at mine either

[Spot]

I don't wanna look at mine either

Why not? Is there something you're ashamed of?

[GarthTheWereWolf]

Clothes are sexier than nudity anyway. Its more fun to imagine whats under it or imagine taking it off. C;

[Onnes]

Anyone who has ever been to a Texas Walmart will tell you that public nudity is a terrible idea.

[Alexxx-Returns]

If people are gonna mentally undress me, I'm glad that they can imagine I've got a good body. I'd hate to go around everywhere with my saggy boobs swinging around like a grandfather clock.

[Dr. Doggo]

i will see all the tittays

whats not to like

but my impressive girth is hard to not like

[Crunchy]

BUT THATS THE PROBLEM D: every one will like it so much, no one will pay attention to MY girth.. my girth has feelings too you know.

Don't forget to hide those saggy arms and saggy chin when you're an old lady. :v

Maybe we can enact some kind of nudity licence, where only approved attractive people get to go full nude. That might solve the obesity problem too, with peer pressure.

that'll just worsen the privelige/oppression olympics

I don't have enough self-esteem  for this.

I imagine a lot more people would bother being in good shape and healthier, if we were all nekkid

[Red Lion]

Having lived in Europe, been to nude beaches and seen pretty much every member of my family naked at some point I can say that repeated exposure to casual nudity will desensitize you to every mole, wart, wrinkle or fat fold. It also does a lot to desexualize nudity, at least it did for me. Once you quit automatically associating naked with sex it really stops mattering if someone's ass or tits are hanging out. 

Honestly I think if people were more relaxed about casual nudity we'd be more accepting of less than perfect bodies and it might even make some people feel better about their moles, freckles and pudge. 

[Vae]

Just take a shit right in front of people. Who even cares.
Take your tampon out in the middle of the family picnic.
Sounds like a good ol time.

Personally, while it's a silly requirement, I actually prefer people wearing clothes.
It's more hygienic, and less boring.
You can look at some dude's saggy tits for the upteenth time, or you can look at the colors and patterns and materials of the shirt he's wearing. I'll take the shirt.

The more you see the undesirable traits of a human body the less you care.

I think you misread my intention, Im not aking an argument for nudity being better, but not a big deal. The actions of releasing waste are also normal, that's just biology, thats just the way our bodies work. Isnt sex just gross when you stop and think about what it is anyways?

Im most certainly not making an argument for "Hey lets everyone go naked, defecate in public, and bleed in social functions", People just seem more appalled by it at times, its one thing to be discrete about drives or body function, its another to shun it. Sex is obvious, but as for menstrual cycles an example I can think of for cultural shunning is why women in ye olden times (and still in some cultures) were considered unclean and were/are banished from society for a week, they were considered lesser people because of their biological status somehow...

 

[Hewge]

Oh, yeah - I'd kind of hate it if being naked was the normal thing too.
Clothing can be so unique, stand-out, and generally awesome! A lot of people even dedicate their lives to designing such wonderful fashions, as clothes are just that neato ~
