Pro Public Nudity and Naturists -

[chimpburgers]

I was just thinking about this morning about how far our acceptance for things will go. One moment I was talking about puberty blockers with some people and then the conversation just completely shifted to talking about pro nudists. Believe it or not, they exist and they believe in exactly what you think they do. This is what they believe that society should be like.

Spoiler: NSFW

There is a legit petition to make public nudity more of a thing.

And of course, there's a whole Wikipedia article on naturists.

I personally don't agree with this idea but I wanted to see if anyone's really dug into this idea and how crazy the people are for trying to advocate for this.

As transgender and old people exist (among other matters), it wouldn't work out too well.

Don't have any real problem with it. I live in a seaside area with a lot of German tourists, and it's always highly amusing to watch the (very conservative) locals freak out when they start casually peeling off their clothes on a sunny day. It just requires self-confidence and a relaxed attitude. Sure, there are ugly people around the place, but looking at pretty bodies isn't really the point of public nudity. I'd personally endorse this just to see more of the scandalized reactions from racist old ladies, which are a very good source of local comedy around here.

I don't have a problem with public nudity. I wouldn't engage in it myself, but whichever.

 

[Adrian Țepeș]

I'm all for it as long as only attractive women are allowed

There are better ways to address vitamin D deficiency while limiting risk of melanoma skin cancer

 

[Joan Nyan]

I don't see the problem.

I think that public nudity is something that is totally OK and I really think that there is no problem with it. Ugly people are still ugly when they wear clothes so that is a non issue

There are more or less innocent groups that do this shit, usually in a private or semi-private setting, or in areas specifically designated for it, like nude beaches.

However, I'm really suspicious of anyone who wants to make it a fully public thing everywhere because of fucking perverts and fetishists who really just want to expose themselves to children and shit like that.

I'm ok with it as long as private properties are allowed to limit it and health codes are designed and enforced (no nudity on public transit for example.)

Yeah, in fact notice in that picture there is a guy with his phone out either video-ing or taking pictures.

I dunno, society has a whole bunch of silly rules, but people who deliberately violate them are usually considered autistic. Being naked feels good, sure, but is it that hard to understand that it makes most other people feel uncomfortable?

Public breast-feeding zealots strike me the same way, but at least that's in service of a vital function even if they get irrationally defensive about it.

Rules and standards, however arbitrary, are the very basis of civilization and are what separates Man from the animals. Those who seek to abolish these ought to be considered as barbarians.

I have a buddy who drags our friend group to nude beaches whenever he's in town and we're definitely always the youngest, most attractive people on the beach. It seems to mostly be an activity for pudgy 50+ men with small penises, not sure what's up with that.

So you're looking at their cocks?

It sounds really impractical to be naked all the time. Have these people ever heard of winter?

I also don't want my naked butt and genitalia touching the same place that has been touched by the butts and genitalia of multiple strangers. I know someone could say something about germs not surviving outside the body or I personally don't have to be naked. Even knowing that I will still fret about diseases and cringe while wrapped in ten layers of latex for protection.

yes and/or duh

are you a faggot or something

Yeah, as much as I'd like to think nudists aren't perverts it's always made me wonder how they're so dumb that the don't understand that clothes were invented for a reason other than to oppress them. Turns out, among many other reasons, your genitals are sensitive and having even a piece of cloth to protect them rely makes a difference.

We let people make plenty of other bad decisions with their genitals.

In public in can be pretty skanky. From what I understand the separated nudist areas are okay as they are cultural enclaves.
