The sexual implications of nudity

A.K.A. How nudist communities and artistic nude art aren't taken seriously and probably never will be.

How if a woman (or a man, or anyone for that matter) prefers wearing less clothing than what is considered "normal" or "acceptable", it's because they're either an attention whore, a complete slut or both.

How breast-feeding is considered taboo (on that note, how the hell is the female chest considered inappropriate, but the male chest isn't?).

How if one wants to be seen as "sexy", they're pretty much required to wear less than usual, if not get completely nude.

How linking to a picture of a nude person that's obviously not intended to arouse someone or was designed for a different purpose will probably elicit the same or a similar response to posting outright porn, unless it's from something out of National Geographic.

How the nude bodies featured in National Geographic are considered different from the nude bodies of people one sees everyday.

How something completely natural is viewed as something to be ashamed of.

How if one remarks that they dislike pants, skirts, dresses and panties / underwear, they're suddenly "gross" or "perverted".

How I can't walk outside and go about my normal, everyday activities wearing nothing but socks and a t-shirt, because I'll end up getting arrested, put on tv, or molested. >:/

    Society norms, cultural norms, and "family-friendliness" driven by the illuminati's support of the Disney regime.

    Societal norms tend to be founded more on emotions than anything afaict.

    Such as "only your lover should see you naked"

    Is this a random thought or is that something that's been bugging you for a while?  I would think being naked has some novelty for a while and after that it becomes rather blah for me.

    I don't see what's so sexy about naked people.

    I think it's akin to how little kids are about "LOLOMG TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR" when someone says a "bad word" or something.  It's that sort of reaction.

    Sex is much more difficult when you're wearing clothes. As a result of that, people tend to get naked to have sex. And as a result of that, people tend to equate nudity with sex, as it is rarely advantageous to be naked otherwise.

    When taking baths/showers.  Also, possibly when going swimming.

    I said rarely, not never.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    ^ Showers are rarely?  Speak for yourself.

    It's worth noting that the Simpsons movie is an example of a movie that featured complete nudity (of Bart Simpson no less) but got a PG rating (in Britain, at least), the reason was given that it wasn't sexual nudity, so it got a lower rating.

    EDIT: It was actually PG, that's even lower than what I thought.

    @Trash_Vortex: Not to mention that Simpsons characters look...shall we say, rather different from real-life people.

    Where is breast feeding considered taboo? Here in Spain is pretty common

    Because people who are aroused at the thought of breasts are too afraid of seeing them.

    Seriously, if those moral guardians and ethical conservatives didn't fetishize breasts themselves they wouldn't be so damn concerned about seeing them.

    I'm alright with breasts being fetishized.

    Maybe I should have rephrased my statement. It is rarely advantageous for other people to see you naked unless you're having sex.

    "Is this a random thought or is that something that's been bugging you for a while?  I would think being naked has some novelty for a while and after that it becomes rather blah for me."

    A while. I don't really view nudity in terms of "novelty", just as something that's perfectly natural that people have been programmed to be ashamed and afraid of, and it bothers me.

    "I don't see what's so sexy about naked people.

    I think it's akin to how little kids are about "LOLOMG TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR" when someone says a "bad word" or something.  It's that sort of reaction."

    Same.

    I assume you wear uncomfortable clothes in general.
