But maybe there is a proper argument to be made that would allow all ages?

and its got nothing to do with prudishness or anything like that. but to think of dangling penises and bobbing buttocks wherever you go makes me want to upchuck. and what if someone doesn't wipe their bum properly and sits on vinyl... where ... ah, nevermind..

56. in naturist "societies" (for lack of a better group term), |
|
some clothing is allowed for menstruation ... (and most naturists also recognize sanitary conditions, and insist on towels being placed under bottoms when seated no matter time of month or gender ...)
and the obvious jokes are sure to come about freezing various parts off ... but naturists are sensible about clothing where needed ... they tend to not send their kids out into the snow in bad weather without the proper attire ...
but then, I'd have no problem with seeing a snow-bunny in the buff in the chalet drinking hot cocoa after her trip down the slopes ...

However, I've always found it strange that it is illegal for us to actually be ourselves the way nature made us in front of each other. We actually go to jail if we don't cover ourselves. It's kind of strange when you really think about it.

Edited on Mon Sep-28-09 12:26 AM by Whisp
a bunch of naked and tired people at the end of the day, on a crowded bus, ....the end of a long, hot day - your morning shower has long lost its freshness and the moisture starts collecting in the cracks and crevices and the bacteria start playing again until they are killed again at your next shower...
all stuffed together, brushing against each other and sticking to each others skin, sweaty, breathing, jiggling, and some big hairy guy rubs against you and his hairs stick onto you... you are sitting but the bus is overcrowded and a guy is standing right beside you, flaccid, but right there... (dissoofpsppvmmvkdkdhf!) or bending over to pick up something you dropped..... (hamfkdixmmvmlssl!) Lines of butt sweat on the seats of the bus when someone gets up...
I'm sure glad mother nature invented zippers and pockets

on warm evenings in the Castro--last night my flatmate spotted six of them--a new record--broken again today at the Folsom Street Fair--but hey its just good old Sodom and Gomorrah as usual here (at least that's what the 33 bus driver called out when he got to Castro and 18th).

the nude ones will all be svelte 18 year old young women with perky breasts and alabaster thighs.
Just take a sampling at the next ballgame you go to, or movie theatre, and determine whether you really want to see all the 'junk' - especially on a continent that suffers from high obesity.
I think I'll pass ;)

13. Climate is an important variable. Nude beaches in Miami -- there's a |
|
particularly good one at Haulover -- is one thing. A clothes-optional ordinance in Fargo in February would be questionable.
On beaches or other outside facilities, a bit of quite affordable landscaping should be all that's needed to allow nudists to enjoy the sun on one side and allow those who wish to keep their duds on to remain on the other.
If someone is naked in the Tiergarten in Berlin, for example, the city does not come to a grinding halt. People get over it. I think it's even legal. Life still appears to go on. People grocery shop. They fill prescriptions. They vote. They educate their kids. They walk their pooches.
So what the hell. I voted 'yes.'

18. As far as I'm concerned nearly everything should be legalized |
|
but I would hope some people (like more than a few of the patrons I saw at Home Town Buffet today) would think twice before availing themselves of the legal right to be nekkid. I'm a big guy (6'2" 220 lbs) but there were some truly immense diners in there. Seeing them nude would definitely not improve my mood.

|
There aren't all that many who take advantage of the privilege, but it's certainly allowed. Of course, guys can't go without a shirt in a mall, so women can't either. Your own backyard? Sure, why not? Parks, beaches...but a restaurant, no. No shirt, no service kind of thing. Nothing has come to a screeching halt, either, but this is Canada.....

51. The poll makes me laugh since this was a big deal in the Vermont |
|
town across the river from where we live. The summer before last clothing optional was all the rage, then the town enacted an ordinance. Of course it was young, good looking people who had stripped down to begin with. I figured all it would take is a bunch of us who are older and uglier to take off our clothes and march around to cure the problem for good. I vote no! Most of the people I see on the street should not only be dressed, they ought to have bags on their heads.

Seriously, though...
I'm sort of on the fence about this. Not a good place to be when you're not wearing pants, I know....but anyway...
Maybe if there are certain communities where it's allowed?
And with limits on what can be shown?
I don't know about other women, but I have never found the male equipment to be particularly attractive when it's on display. Show me a pair of well toned arms or trim waistline and nice (not large/gross) pecs, and I'd be perfectly happy.

69. Sure, I don't see why I should have a say in how or if a person dresses |
|
When the #1 case against something is "Yuck...I might not want to see all that" then it is pretty clear there is little case to restrict an individual's rights. It's probably not a bad argument that any such restriction is unconstitutional.
