Why is America so up-tight about nudity?

Posted: 12/31/06 at 1:18am

I got into a discussion with my parents today, and somehow the topic of the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake "scandal" came up and I STILL find it laughable how up-in-arms the US became over a pasty. Considering you can see more skin in ANY one of those Super Bowl commercials. Europe was having a great time laughing at us.

Comments about anything else?

Personally I encourage people to be naked whenever possible and advocate that particularly good-looking persons not be allowed to wear any clothing at all.

Personally, I love naked men. If my boyfriend would let me, I'd move us to an all (hot) male nudist colony.

I actually love scantilly clad women too. Lacey Chabert looks smokin' in the new Maxim magazine.

I'd personally pitch in to move Fiction Writer to an all (hot) male nudist colony provided it does not now nor will it ever have internet access. Who would need it with all that (hot) male nudity?

Well, you said "bare-chested porn stars," so I just assumed they were female. I mean, who the hell gets riled up by a naked male torso in this day and age?

BTW: I think FW should be banished to the moon, where he'll eat nothing but green cheese every day.

I don't know.... there's something hot about the skin that's exposed when someone bends over while wearing a t-shirt, or when the shirt rides up during a stretch. A little mystery can be a good thing.

Perhaps the real question is: Why is Europe so unruffled by nudity? (No, it's not the question. I'm just being a smartass.)

I honestly don't know, but it's pissed me off for years. Living in Germany for the past (almost) five years has made me see how laid-back Europeans are and I wonder why Americans are so uneasy with nudity.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Americans are scared by their temptations.
When most people see a nude body, their first thought is "porn".
What I've posted here is art. I wasn't aroused by any of it. I think the naked men are beautiful.

Ignorant Americans just don't understand.

5...4...3...2...

When I was a freshman in high school, some of the juniors through a huge fit when they had to read Snow Falling on Cedars. They felt that the sex scenes were pornography.

Of course I disagreed. I asked one of them if reading the few pages gave him an erection. He didn't answer the question...

If he had said no, I would've asked him what the fuss was about.

What am I doing wrong? It's a nude picture of a hot guy. Some people need to get over themselves. If someone doesn't like it, they can click the little X box, or read another thread. And then, after that, they can stick their foot up their ass.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

I have more important things to do than BWW anyway. A ban will force me to do something else.

The Europeans are surrounded by naked bodies every day. It's nothing new to them.

When I see or hear someone talk about how they don't like nudity, my first thoughts are, "So what do you do when you're naked?"

Speaking of which, it's time for me to go get naked and jump in bed. Night, night!

Oh, it's totally an issue of self-loathing...heck, I don't like seeing naked bodies 'cause it reminds me of everything I hate about mine :0)

Nice, Papa. Nice.

Why is America so uptight about nudity, you ask? Maybe it's because most of America is uptight conservative baby boomers who think that the reason there's so much cussing in Spaceballs is because they're watching the director's cut. Which they're not!!!!!!!!
