So this is your argument for full body scans at airports, right?

You are giving me a headache, ba.

That is an entirely different scenario, and you know it. I support freedom: freedom to be naked if I want to be and freedom from being coerced to being seen naked if I don't.

Great: all crowning achievements. Phone your congressman and senator. You feel "free" to strip down naked in front of the in-laws. Or on a Saudi street corner. Good luck with that.

I'll reserve my "freedom" to be able to not look at your fat, hairy senior citizen butt.

I'm not a prude about nudity. I just think it's really stupid to go parading around naked and when someone mixes a political cause into it then I can't take it seriously. Also, I've always believed if you don't have a nice looking body you should cover it up. I don't have such a nice body and I keep it covered usually even during sex or I at least put the lights out.

This is exactly one of the reasons that more people should see others naked. Not everyone is a Hollywood star; in fact, the vast majority of us are not. Being naked with others is a corrective for a lot of unrealistic ideas people have about body image, as well as being the great equalizer. Without the clothes to distinguish, say, two people of different classes, they are just a couple of regular guys.


So we should see more nude unattractive people to change our ideas of what's attractive? I guess that kind of makes sense. But honestly I think if you see naked people all the time it takes the eroticism and intimacy out of sex. It's just not very exciting anymore to get naked with each other.

Next time, bring along your 8 y.o daughter into the men's shower/change room with you. Make sure she's naked too.

I strongly recommend that you take your entire family, including your eight-year-old daughter, to a family nudist resort for a weekend.

I will absolutely agree that Saudis and other Muslims really need to revise their attitudes on nudity. I am surprised you share such views with them.

You got a deal! Let me be free to prance around naked, and I'll let you be free not to look.

BTW, I was naked at Woodstock Exclamation

But that's just it: naked =\= sex. In fact, people often feel someone wearing some small article of clothing, e.g. G-string, high heels, leather, etc., is sexier than complete nudity.
