  • I don't care about nudity overall, but there's a time and place for it. Do you really want to see a fully naked scene on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon?

    • Kids probably wouldn't even notice. They are much more comfortable with nudity then adults are

  • #free the nipple.

  • It's just called decentcy, and most people dont want to see naked people. Like me, it would be weird. there's a think called manners and decentcy.

    • Illogical at best.

    • @Juxtapose thanks

  • Here in America, its how people are raised that plays a big part in this. We are told that is morally wrong, which is total BS. I promote and encourage nudity whenever I get the chance. :)

    • lol. You just want to see girls naked. You are no mystery to me boy.

    • @Miristheiss Who doesn't?

  • Social construct. We as humans made up rules that the body must be covered up.

  • Because It's so deeply pushed in our brains that It's for protection and maybe they want others to know, they care about their safety too, not only their own. And like a writer down here, It's historical religious.

  • If you look at the type of people who get offended then you will see that there I a common trait with them A) lack of self-confidence
    b) generally not pleasing to the eye
    c) Generally tend to follow other fu-ked up lines of thinking and use these type of beliefs as gospel as they have an inability to think for themselves. For the rare free thinkers such as myself, they are known as sheep don`t worry the top 1% in the world call them the masses and do the thinking for them

  • Depends how you are brought up on how you view the human body, I don’t worry about it or seeing it but some people you would rather not see and need to have clothes 😊

    • Exactly.

  • Good question. I wish I knew...

  • I mean firstly, I must point this out. The argument that something is completely natural says nothing of whether it is good or bad.

    As to why people are offended or disgusted by nudity, it’s just like any other thing you would be offended or disgusted by. It has a large part to do with upbringing. One could also make the case that in certain context, nudity shouldn’t be allowed for the sake of public health (like in crowded enclosed areas).

    • Anything that is natural should be accepted by society tho. If not we are just shaming things that we cannot change about ourself

    • There are many things that are “natural” that are not good. Disease is a completely natural thing, yet it could be agreed that having a disease is not good. For an action, consider rape. Rape happens in nature frequently, so one might say that rape is natural. In fact marital sex is a very unnatural practice we do, we don’t see marriages happen between other animals naturally. Yet most of opus would consider rape as bad. Merely being natural doesn’t imply something is good nor bad. Now I agree that if something is not a conscious act, you can’t say if it’s morally right or wrong. However, nudity is a conscious act. Thirdly, while nudity isn’t immoral from my view, there is a legal case to be made. If it endangers public health, then it would be reasonable to restrict nudity in those context.

    • I think all that stuff is natural to a point yes. There are certain things that end up making no sense though. Like women not being allowed to show their breast like men can go to a pool or beach and normally walk around without a shirt without bothering anyone. But a women takes out a boob to feed her baby and people flip out over seeing a boob being used for what its intended for. Just cause its seen as a sexual thing to men then its forbidden to be shown in public. Showing a nipple ain't gonna hurt no one you know? Maybe that's just how I view it since I'm a mom and breastfed for a very long time. All the whispers and judgement is to much when it's really there to feed a baby not to been seen as something so sexual

  • Because society dictates what is acceptable and what isn’t

  • I wish things weren't so taboo. As a man, you're expected to be conservative in your dress most of the time. I would like to wear shorter shorts, or a speedo or thong and not be ridiculed. Not exactly nude, but its close. I wouldn't want to be nude much anyway, I like support for my boys.

    • I totally get that. Guys clothes always seem to thick too like in the summer y'all must get really hot outside. As a women I wear thin dresses to stay cool.

    • Yes! so much yes. I live in FL, so its always so hot

  • Would you be offended by a stranger getting an erection from said nudity? Ultimately it is very impolite to arouse someone and demand they do nothing. Clothes help humans stay civilized.

    • No I wouldn't be offended by that. If everyone was nude I think thatd be something that would wear off tho like there would be no thrill over a nude body.

    • That may happen, but I doubt it... after all we have a very strong drive to reproduce and men have the disadvantage of external genitals in this regard. I believe that most primitive societies cover up their loins for this reason.

  • We are taught from childhood to be discrete about our nudity

  • Amen sister!!! 😎

  • Cuz of crazy thoughts i read a story about a old man who got arestdd for being nude well using his tractor on his farm early morning well s school bus came by

  • It's religious prudes that are quite successful with their indoctrination.

  • I guess we are taught to think that way from early on. It does seem pretty ridiculous though.

  • i HATE wearing cloths; i wear them as little as possible. I would be an in home nudist if i could find a wife who would Ok it

    • Clothes do suck. I'm lowkey a nudist at home but I get cold easily so usually looking ridiculous wearing socks and running around with a blanket

    • i prance naked in my zebra snuggy =p

    • I bet you look adorable wearing a zebra snuggie lol🦓🦓🦓
