There's an interesting Documentar on BBC1 following a group of Naturists doing a 500 mile walk across Britain.
Many members of the public feel perfectly intheir rights to shout abuse at them and hit them with their canes, umbrellas, etc as they walk by, or refuse to serve them in pubs, supermarkets, etc
It's quite shcking at how some people have reacted, some are nice and some are really mean to them .. what do you think of their right to be naked where they want and when they want?
... I'm still making my mind up..

In America they have camps and the like for them to roam about it. "With their own kind" so to speak. U.K weather is a bit crap for getting yer bits out at the best of times. :chin:
I remember watching a documentary about it years ago, some girl came form a naturist family and she was deciding whether it was right for her or not. She indicated that there have to be ground rules applied, stuff to do with potential pedophiles and the like, youngsters being taken advantage of. There's a darker side to being a naturist that alot of people could overlook, the one I watched was a real eye opener.
I don't think they should have to take the abuse they're being given, just because they're naked...that's just silly, like they're less of a human being all of a sudden?
If i owned a pub they'd get booted out soon as the walked through the door. Skantily dressed women on a saturday night = a lot of naked guys sporting hard ons. Not pleasant.
Exactally the point. Why are we so shocked by it here? I don't understand, in other countries alot of people jsut wouldn't be bothered.
just watched it.
theres plenty of places in the uk as well.
if they came in a shop or pub round here i think they'd probably get a kicking of the local yobs.
or the police.
yeah yeah whats more natural than the naked body ...were not fucking apes.
we have centuries of inhibitions that aint going to disapear overnight.
would you be ok about them being in the kids park?
The funniest bit of the programme was when the poor cameraman got beaten up.
but then he put brambles and nettles in the way ...knowing he had given us the brains and common sense to get dressed!
The whole not being allowed to wear clothes is a form of oppression, doubly so with the female body.
Aren't people able to look at a naked body and see something other than a sex object?
A penis is a penis... Tits are tits, big deal.
Unless you are 5, then it is higly amusing!
Unless of course you are brought up in a society where it is accepted. Of course, clothes are needed in winter. But why, in warmer times, can we not be naked and comfortable with ourselves and each other?
Seems illogical. Except possibly in a war zone, with body armour and cammo.
In summer time you'll often see a man walking around with no top on and no one really thinks it's a big deal, espacially if he's working out in the sun .. so by the same token shouldn't it be at least equally acceptable for a woman to walk around in summer without a top?
Thats because we have 'sexed up' breasts so they are something totally different to what they are designed to be, women cant even breast feed anymore without abuse.
They maybe nice looking fun bags, but they do have a purpose.
I agree with the girl who came from a naturist background, that there may be people who are naturists that take advantage of younger people in their community. I'm not saying because they run about nekked there's a greater chance of them being pedophiles, I just don't think it's alright for kids to be alone with adults who are buck naked. :yuck:
Why not?
Er, no
What do folks think about people taking children to nudist beaches then? Should that be allowed? Are we risking to corrupt children or make them easy prey of kiddie fiddlers?
What a ridiculous statement.
Why is nudity seen immediately as a sexual thing? I get naked when I bathe, it doesn't mean I want to hump the shower.
Non sexual nudity is fine even *shock horror* around children. I would not be bothered about my son seeing anyone naked, as long as they werent sporting a hard on and leering at him or suchlike.
:no:
I just know I wouldn't be comfortable with my kid around some naked person..doesn't make me ridiculous, personal choice.
If they want to run around naked, fine, just not around my kids.
Just wondering... am I the only person who as a child got up to "naughty things" with the girls?
Anyway, if there wasn't such a focus on nakedness having to be sexual, it wouldn't be so bad. Obviously, in some situations it is innapropriate. You should not weld naked, cook naked, perform surgery or the like. Plain dangerous.
I'd rather be paranoid then let any harm come to any of mine, nudie or not.
Well it does, now that you mention it.
The person who's most likely to attack your child is the father, or your father. I bet you won't stop them running around with your kids.
Belief in the bogeyman is ridiculous.
To compare naturists with paedophiles is awful.
