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. |

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

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. |
