The Question Of Nudity.

[B.A. Baracus]

Nudity these days is everywhere, but how do you feel about nudity. Some people are old fashioned in the sense that they'll only show their naked bodies to their partners while others are quite happy to sunbathe topless (women) or flash their genitals as a joke (men) What camp do you fall into, and how would you feel if you went sunbathing and your girlfriend took her top off for all to see.

I'm sure we can all honestly say we've Googled naked images, but theres a huge difference between looking at naked people online and our partners doing the same.

Theres also the question of straight men seeing other men naked on film, a naked woman is great but many men complain at seeing a naked man on film (i use 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' as a example)

How do you feel about your own nudity and that of your partner?

I feel pretty comfortable with my own body, but that does'nt mean I'd be willing to expose myself to anybody other than my significant other. I'd also feel the same way about my girlfriend exposing herself.

I don't have a problem with nudity. Most women go topless on a beach do it to get a tan not to parade for men.

So you'd be ok with your Girlfriend sun bathing topless, What about if she was a actress and had a nude scene? Is there a difference?

 

[chamber-music]

I'm fine with it. My girlfriend is not my property to tell how she should dress. If I had a problem with nudity I wouldn't force my views on her to dress or undress the way I wanted.

I don't mind nudity if I see someone naked my thoughts are not always automatically sexual.

An actress is playing a role and is paid to be naked on film which can be seen by anyone so that might be different but its her decision as its her body.

If my girlfriend took her top off in public I think I would be distracted to care.

 

[RockSP]

All nudity is wrong. I shower with jean shorts on like dude from Arrested Development.

 

[B.A. Baracus]

If my girlfriend took her top off in public I think I would be distracted to care.

Ah, but so would everyone around you.

 

[The Squirrel]

Ah, but so would everyone around you.

But I wouldn't notice them.

 

[B.A. Baracus]

But I wouldn't notice them.

Touche.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Nudity is by your disgretion.

 

[Motown Marvel]

people need to stop freaking out over boobs, vaginas, and penis'. we all know they are there. we all know what they look like. everyone should get naked and enjoy it.

 

[tzarinna]

I love being naked...in my own home.

TMI Ahead
I used to be perturbed by woman that breastfed, but once you have to do it all modesty goes right out the window. It's become less of a second thought, baby's hungry and crying, you just want to remedy those two things quickly.

 

[Bubonic]

I've been known to get naked in my dorm years, so I am pretty comfortable with my nudity, nothing to hide, it's all in good fun.
Honestly I'm not a possessive guy but I wouldn't be comfortable with the old lady shedding the garments infront of strangers, I'm still young I guess, insecure about that stuff and would like to keep it to myself.
What I hate is that nudity is ingrained as a taboo in Western culture, watch t.v., watch movies and it seems like it is a hell of a lot more accepted to show graphic violence then it is a darned nipple!
That irks me to no end!
I've gotten in crap on this board for showing minimally nude women but I've posted graphic violence and no one cared?!
I'd like to think that sex and nudity should be more natural and acceptable than people being brutalized and killed, seems like people rather watch Hostel than a porno and to me that is ass-backwards.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I'm all for the nudity!

 

[Dark Raven]

I always sleep in the nude, even in winter. I can't get to sleep wearing anything as it always proves too constricting and uncomfortable.

 

[Anubis]

I'm naked right now.......does that....arouse anybody? (rubs nipple)

 

[Bubonic]

Yah, sleeping with clothes on sucks.
I wish I was still in BC, I'd be hanging at third beach or wreck beach right now looking at prime Canadian beavers.

[Dark Guardian]

I'm a pretty shy guy. I mean, I don't mind walking around in my swim trunks at the beach or anything, but I'd never go out of the house in a tank top, I just never feel like it's enough. Sort of like going out of your house in your pajamas. You just know it's not quite right, so unless you say "Whatev" and just get used to it, you feel a little out of sorts.
As for my girlfriend, our relationship is extremely close and protective. We're each very protective of the other's body. I would never let her do anything topless or naked in public and she'd never let me do so either. She doesn't even really like it when I'm at the beach, but she's ok with it because she gets to see. And I'm good with that attitude, it's not like I have any interest in modeling or anything, and neither does she.

 

[Marvolo]

I think its up to each indivual person. As another said, we all have these parts and we all know they are there. By hiding these parts we have associated them with the very things we are trying to tell people not to think about. Think of it this way. Boobs are great, but they have become purely sexual to most males. Most males go gaga for ****. If all women walked around with their boobs out no one would pay it much attention. Its the forbidden fruit theory. People want to do and see things they normally can't. No part of our body should be considered dirty or taboo. Its this thought process that has led to so many people being overly self-conscience. All these "sexual" body parts have natural functions not only related to sex, but due to nudity being a taboo that is the what they are related to 90% of the time. One thing I have never understood is why you can show every part of a boob except the nipple. Why??? What is the damn difference? It's all boob. Lol, anyways, those are just a few of my thoughts.

 

[The Morningstar]

Nudity
Violence

 

[Lantern Venom]

If you are going to parade around naked these days, prepare for it to end up on the internet and prepare for possible personal/professional consequences. It's best just to save it for your partner behind closed doors.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Nudity's cool.

 

[Rincewind]

On theory, people shouldn't feel ashamed of their nudity. The naked human body is the most natural thing in the world.
But it has become such a taboo over the centuries (especially in the western culture of America and Europe), that on practice most people are not comfortable with it. Heck, even now, as I'm writing this, my father asked me to help him with a chore and I told him to wait just a sec so I could put some pants on.

Also, strongly agree with Bubonic about the violence. It's ridiculous, but we have become more comfortable with our children watching people shooting and murdering each other on film rather than people having sex (I'm not even talking about porn here).
