Joe--I noticed that you didn't quote the part where I wrote; "Thing is, supe, walking around naked is just a selfish thing to do. (unless you're Jessica Albas, as Denis points out) "
It's like you guys want to label people as prudish if they believe that
some bodies are better left covered up.
"but we were all taught differently as kids "
.. . like I said, some of us
figured it out as kids. .. not taught.
I have friends that were children of hippies. And while they often ran around naked as children, they figured it out; and reallized that people don't want to see the full reallity of their body. . . and those who did are creepy michael jackson types.
I've got no problem with adult nude beachs/ private property. But you guys who think you have transended clothing, and the rest of us are stuck in some puritan clothed rut are kidding yourselves.
Clearly clothing has utility beyond protecting us from the elements. Most people have figured that out. Most people are happy about this widely accepted norm. . . .how ever "un-natural" you would like to make it.
I think it kinda sad that some have to promote the mantra of " it's natural, lets all do it" to get a woman to take her close off.
