ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth You realize of course this is almost exclusively a USA problem? What is the "problem" that you're refering to? quote:
In most of the world, nudity and sex are not driven by puritanically initiated laws. In my head, nudity and sex are different things. quote:
It's ridiculous how it permeates and effects you. Forget the children or sex and consider something more neutral such as a spa treatment. We just came back from a few days in Palm Springs and its become routine for us to get a couples massage. However, afterward we had to retire to steam-rooms, saunas, and jacuzzi that were one sex exclusive. Nudity between adults wasn't permitted. You could wear a bathing suit if you wanted, but you still had to go to your assigned one-sex area. This has nothing to do with exhibitionism, but illustrates how pervasive the thought nude=evil. How silly is that? At least in Vegas they are opening pools for 'adults only' where you can enjoy the facilities in the 'European' style. Someday, spas may also cater to 'adults' who won't be blinded and/or offended by the sight of a nude body. I cant speak for anyone else, but I dont see nudity as "evil". I dont personally enjoy being nude around the house or anything like that, but I certainly dont find it offensive for those who enjoy being nude as much as they can. But I dont think nudity has a place in public areas. I dont think we should walk down the street nude during the summer and go to the park nude or go out to the deli nude. I mean.....oh my god......nevermind.... As far as the separate sauna rooms, I guess its similar to a public bathroom. I guess it could be a societal or cultural thing, but I dont see it as any kind of problem that affects anyone in a negative way. I think we may be more conservative about nudity in the US. I personally don't want to be putting on my lipstick in a public bathroom while theres a guy next to me taking a leak. But if I grew up that way and it was all I knew, I guess it wouldnt bother me much. I don't know. But I dont see that as comparable to children having to see people fuck in public places, cuz its how they get their freak on. (exhibitionism) quote:
Maybe that's why there is so much excitement about doing the 'forbidden' by being 'naked' someplace. Could be...I dont know. Im one of those pervs who likes to do it behind closed doors. : x
