Should kids run around naked?Think for yourself and your kids, don't
decide for someone else
I thought long and hard about posting this
link.
When is it OK for kids to run around naked? Most Americans only get naked when they are about to have sex, that is why they confuse sex and nudity. But NUDITY does not equal SEX! Speaking of sex, I enjoy it immensely. Since I turned 18, every lady I've slept with has been of age and has consented. That doesn't mean that I can't admire the view even if I am not going to be plucking the fruit. I'm a naturist, I've made no effort to hide that on this blog. I like how the sun and wind on my skin make me feel. But on the other hand, I'm a realist. The fact that I am an acknowledged naturist means I go out of my way to conceal my location and legal name. In a society that arrests grandmothers for snapping pictures of their grandchildren bathing, I've no desire to be labeled a sex offender. It's one of those freedoms that most Americans never think about. If you acknowledge that sex isn't part of the equation, then the only reasons left for banning nudity are a matter of taste. Basically someone might be offended by an exposed nipple or a guy's dangling parts. Even this article talks about offending others more than it talks about the possible danger of sexual predators. And that is the scary part. We're willing to give up our freedom for the false promise of protection. We're willing to enforce our morality with the coercive power of the law. Most never notice what they've lost until it's too late. Posted: Sun - August 2, 2009 at 02:04 PM
