Public Nudity

children.

esthetics comes to mind.

Actually, I suppose, you can see more nude children in public (like on beaches, pools) than adults ...


Oh, you mean children could be horrified be seeing how they might look alike in a couple of years? :wink:

hygiene

aesthetics, as dys said

distraction

yeah, something like that...

Skin cancer in peculiar places!

hygiene would top my reasoning.

Cold weather.

I bet there would be a lot more traffic accidents for men if public nudity became legalized. :wink:

We ought to be ashamed of our disgusting bodies.

I'm not opposed to the idea of young female nudists. It would be completely natural.

Done!

It's not natural. If we were meant to be nude, we would have been born that way.

Not all of us have nude bodies that are attractive. Some people would go nude who shouldn't.

If you've ever seen a naturist/nudist magazine, you've noted that many or most of the nude people would be best seen with clothes on. I remember in particular one photo of an elderly man with a colostomy bag proudly wandering around nude.

There's also a hygiene factor. I don't particularly want to walk around the mall, dine in restaurants, sit in the same theater seats as people with neglected or inadequately washed nether regions.

Then there is nudity and there is nudity. You have to make a distinction between a casual nude and someone making a prominent display of their naughty bits.

And there would be legal and political issues. If a nude person accidentally brushes against another person, at what point does it become an unwelcome sexual assault?

Incidental nudity in public artwork or advertising I don't really have a problem with. Live nudity in public should at least require a strict permit or license to limit unintended offense. (but where are they going to keep the permit?)

My obscure fetish would not, personally, make visible colostomy bags an issue. However, I am reminded that my incontinence problem would complicate things.

Maybe if we were all nude all the time the distractions would ware off as we would get used to it.

You'd still have the dreaded hygiene issue. Unless you carried a bag around (not a colostomy bag, mind you) in which you kept your nudity permit and some wipes.

Is there a reason for public nudity to be wrong?

Yeah, america.
Americans see it as dirty, wrong, and unacceptable.

In other countries, people walk around 1/2 dressed because it is comfortable, or just because they want to and there are no reprocussions from it.

You have free public nudity here and this tight ass country would freak out.

Boobies make me giggle.
