Legal in a place that everyone has a choice in, for example a beach, campground, club, hotel, what have you where people are aware or made aware of the fact that nudity is involved. That way they can choose. This particular "temporary" ordinance was in response to a local resident that insisted on walking down Main Street in the raw and attending public meetings, Au Natural. I don't think anyone has a right to force others to witness his/her fetish.

Ended up committing suicide in jail.

It is OK to feel comfortable naked but in the case of public display when no one else is participating then it is just exhibitionism, plan and simple. It his fetish and now he wants me to become an unwilling participant. Not good!

Originally Posted By jonvn If people just walked around naked if they chose, it wouldn't be a big deal. I would think they'd be awfully sunburned and leathery though. We wear clothes for protection. But everyone has basically the same parts. I don't get the hysteria.

I do agree however that there are places for it because of others feelings towards it. Having special towns, beaches etc..is the way to go. this way if you dont like it, you don't go there.

Originally Posted By jonvn Send us all a picture and we'll decide. Actually, if everyone was naked all the time, people being 25 pounds overweight would be pretty average and no one would care. People can decide as a group to object to anything. I personally object to people having green lawns. I much prefer crabgrass. So, I'm offended. Does that mean anything? I don't think so. It's just a random thing to be offended by.

Maybe to you someone who is overweight is unattractive no matter what they wear. Maybe to someone else though, overweight people are the most beautiful people in the world. Ugly isnt just outside looks, ugly is inside too. I've come across some extremely attractive people only to realize they have ugly personalities, and to me that makes them ugly outside as well. Beautiful people on the inside shine on the outside just as bright if not even brighter. SOME people just have to open thier eyes and look. Someday, we will all be old and worn and beauty is not about surface then. For some, it will be then and only then they they will "get it". ( Hopefully)
