Viva la nudity!

Greetings Everyone, especially my nudy friends, I recently came across a youtube video called naked protest, part 1. There's a group of people over in the UK trying to get public nudity legalized, not for sexual or perverted reasons (in fact, it may be easier to catch pedophiles if you see that the old creepy guy watching the kids has a hard on). Many people can't understand the reason behind public nudity. Who would want to go around showing all their junk? and We don't want to see some people naked! hotties only please. These thoughts are a product of social upbringing. There are tribes all across Africa who still go nude most of the time, but do men walk around with erections all the time? Do they walk around sniggering and insulting each other? No, because it's just a normal, natural way of life for them. If public nudity was legal, and better yet, common place, people would really stop noticing. Ever been to a nude beach? No one notices anything. It's like looking at people with their clothes on. The same judgements you may make about a fat woman with her clothes on, you'd make with her clothes off. What's the difference? How many women and men get home from the bag with a random date just to realize that they look far different with their clothes off? A woman's bra is cut to show cleavage, her tight skirt holds in a tummy, that sexy corset is really sucking some stuff in... nudity let's you see people, the real them. They're no longer just pieces of fashion ( or lack there of) passing by. They're human beings. We miss this in our day to day clothed lives.

Some people are concerned that sexual arousal could be a problem, especially in men. Clothes make people into sex symbols.. not nudity. Again, once we're used to nude bodies, they don't become such a big deal. They are no longer something to fantasize about or drool over. People used to be called whores because they showed too much ankle. Today, we're like, an ankle? Well.. it's just an ankle! Whole bodies are the same way. They're taboo now only because they're hidden. Expose them and their lose their appeal, their lust. If, by chance, a person does become aroused because they see someone they're particularly attracted to, then it shouldn't be a problem. Human beings should be comfortable in their sexuality, but if a man is uncomfortable with this or , say, it's that time of the month for a woman, then clothes would be optional. One man posted on the youtube forum that he was comfortable in clothes and uncomfortable being nude and he shouldn't have to be made to go nude. Well, that's true. He shouldn't be made to do what makes him uncomfortable, but in the same way, should someone be forced to wear clothing? Especially in warmer weather.

Where do we get this shame of our own bodies? This.. discomfort in nudity? That's easy. Christianity. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge (note that in the Bible knowledge is seen as a bad thing, Ignorance is bliss. But we won't get into my qualms with the bible now) and then they became ashamed and hid themselves with fig leaves. Shame of our own bodies and other bodies is deeply ingrained in out psychology. It is beaten into us from the time we are young that nakedness is bad and evil and against God.

I won't say anymore on the subject, except viva la nudity!

I cannot imbed the video because it has actual nudity in it, but here is the link:
