why are americans so offended by nudity?

Question

it's HOW WE WERE BORN. it's natural. we all have genitalia. get over it. women have breasts, yes. they nourished me while i was young. they gave me life. i was born out of a vagina. what's the big deal?

and yet, the same people who are so anti-nudity have no problem going online and discussing their sex life and periods.. hmmmmmm

Answer 1

A naked person is a natural person. Cloth are a social superstructure. We need cloth to protect, keep warm and look better sometimes, but wearing it, shouldn't be compulsory. In some countries, like Spain, are trying to get rid of old law and recognize what is natural and what is indecent.

Answer 2

It's a typical double standard. Many people in our society claim to be offended by any form of nudity, and then go out and consume the largest amounts of pornographic material in the world!

For many people, nudity equates to sex, and therefore becomes something unfit for public view.

I feel that the attitude is changing, although ever so slowly. I go to the nude beach here on Long Island and find that the crowds increase every summer. For the most part, these people aren't pervs, or psychos or any other derogatory term that can be applied. They're simply people (usually tending to be young and well educated) who have gotten past the "all nudity equals sex" mistake and are comfortable being naked in an appropriate place for an appropriate purpose.

I love being naked as much as possible, indoors or outside, alone or with others, as long as it's in an appropriate place. For me, and many of us, nudity is always sensual, but only sexual when we're in a sexual situation with a person with whom we want to be intimate.

As more people in our society recognize and respect this difference, the acceptance of simple, non-sexual nudity should become more common.

Answer 3

You are so stupid if you don't see the difference between what you are saying and what was happening here. If I want nudity, I know where to find it and what I like, but I don't want just any moron shoving it in my face. It is psychologically damaging for children under the age of, say, 15 to be exposed to explicit sexuality, as it leaves traumas upon their psyche, moron - read a book or two. There are kids here. I agree that the US morality is a total hypocrisy, with blurring bodies in movies but having no pproblem with any amount of violence and blood - they want to train killing dogs, nor lovers, it seems - but being against nudity HERE is not that kind of hypocrisy, and you should turn on your brain and see that.

Answer 4

Yes, I agree. But it's just not appropriate for Y!A. It's supposed to be for fun. Sex discussions don't bother me...and neither does nudity. Just don't shove naked parts into my face. n

Answer 5

lol It's only Americans with this problem??

I'm not offended by nudity, but I usually am offended by the connotations that go with it.

Answer 6

Not everyone wants to look at people's genitalia. That's what porn sights are for.
And there are young children who use Yahoo.

Answer 7

discussing things are one thing, i really have no problem with nudity, and if someone asked me to watch a clip of porn i probably would do it with no prob- what bothers is UGLY penises, and almost unidentifiable pus sies. are you saying that you think the dic* is hot?? gross...

Answer 8

I'm not offended. Just don't wave anything in my face.

Answer 9
