Question for everyone!

There is a middle ground: comfort with the human form and sexuality, coupled with reponsibility for personal choice and others boundaries. That is probably the most sensible thing I have ever read on this board. since when is not exposing children to sex and nudity demonizing the human body? I think this is the problem people have with nudity- they only associate it with sex. I believe that nudity doesn't have to = sex at all. So I would say that young children being exposed to sex is bad (of course) but seeing naked people in a safe, non-sexual context (such as going for a naked family swim) is perfectly okay. I think what I'm trying to say is that there is a difference between nudists and flashers. The former just feel more comfortable nude and the latter are pervs. It's not the same thing.

lol missjackson wtf kind of party was that!? everyone was just sitting around eating jelly & ice cream in the buff? speaking as a european i can tell you thats pretty unusual! as almost everyone says, there's a middle ground. france has naked women on billboards, and that place isnt an orgy of rape and paedophilia. areas with less access to hardcore pornography have higher incidences of rape. think on it, sex isnt the enemy i think its a good idea not to expose kids to hardcore shagging on tv or whatever, because theyre only kids, let them have a break and live in kiddy la la land before telling them about the heavier stuff in life.

Darn tootin', kids should be left to be kids and have a childhood for cripes sake! You only get to do it once and you spend the rest of your life as a complicated adult, so you can only scrape out about 13 years maximum of carefree living these days, even less for some who are so eager to become an adult...which is just retarded...ergo, kids know nothing. Anyway, indeed, porn is good and it is proven that it helps society. Just think about it, after 7 days sans-spoodge, testosterone is at it's absolute 'best' (or potent ... on average)...if people would just whack off every couple of days everyone would be much more chilled out, haha!

if we're prudes then the rest of the world are commies...we're the freest nation in the world. and if we're so prudish then why does everyone want to come live her?

That's funny that they're in such a hurry to grow up. Kids have never had it so good as they do today. I mean, they literally have to do nothing. Back in the day they would be breaking their backs in the fields at age 8 harvesting crops just so the family could eat and maybe have a surplus to sell. i guess it's a moot point since technology and Mexicans have erradicated the need for child labor. lol missjackson wtf kind of party was that!? everyone was just sitting around eating jelly & ice cream in the buff? speaking as a european i can tell you thats pretty unusual! I'm glad you asked that but i was thinking the same thing. Since you took the initiative, I in turn will ask the logical follow up question: Where the hell were our invitations !?! j/k

Since you took the initiative, I in turn will ask the logical follow up question: Where the hell were our invitations !?! j/k It was just a birthday party! No special occasion... of course eventually I found out the whole neighborhood was a bunch of voyeurs... the home we lived in at the time was in this development called Nellie Gail Ranch and most of the homes were on hills so the higher up the hill you were the more peoples yards you had the possibility of seeing into... add to that the many horse trails going through the area behind peoples homes and depending on where you lived you could see everything someone was up to... apparently this family often swimmed and partied in the nude but eventually they became real Americans when the husband divorced the wife and married the au pair! back to the prudish thoughts of an American... I think I can see why some people may want to make their children into prudes and afraid of nudity... perhaps to prevent sexual urges. I mean you have to consider that i've heard schools say they dont want to teach kids about the use of condoms because they think knowing how to use one makes you want to. I imagine that some people may feel that the more often you're naked the more likely you are to have sex. And in a country where kids in 4th grade are going at it in their schools I can understand why it may be necessary not to encourage nakedness. On the other hand my parents had pictures of me naked as a jaybird running around the sprinklers, lake, beach, pool, etc. and I turned out relatively normal. I can't say that the actions of our French neighbors were normal I mean every country has people that are EXREME examples of behavior perhaps that was them...
