The country I was born in has an extremely lax attitude to nudity, I grew up very comfortable around naked adults. Moved to England in my youth, thought it strange that there was less nudity in the media and you couldn't even go fully nude at the beach, but otherwise quite similar attitudes. Moved to america 4 years ago, would say it probably has the most strict moral attitude towards nudity as any country in the modern world. It's ridiculous, no wonder too many american kids grow up sexually confused weirdos.

Crazy_Jane

Hmmm...I haven't met any sexually confused Americans. And again...the nudity is there if you want it. It's in PG 13 movies.:|

The vast majority of americans are EXTREMELY sexually confused. A country has to be deeply disturbed in it's views of nudity if a thing like 'Girls gone wild' can be a multi-million dollar industry.

The confusion stems from the fact that Americans are unable to seperate nudity from sex. In most other countries in the world, nudity represents innocence, freedom, or purity. In America, it is impossible to use nudity to show these things without giving people a sexual connotation too.

That is was is screwed up. children need to be able to see the bodies of others, understand the simple difference between the sexes that play such an important role in life, and above all not grow up thinking that their own bodies are shameful things that need to be hidden away in fear.

I love you. I really do.

Ah generalizations. I think you'd find those that buy Girls gone Wild to be in the minority. But I'm open to your proof that vast majority fits.

That is your assumption that the reason we don't allow children into the movies is that it's associated with sex. It's not...and reading why something is rated as is...shows the difference as to sexual nudity and nudity.

Children really don't need to look at naked adults.

You're just angry because she's right. Sexual confusion - ridiculed by fellow peers - insecurity - peer pressure.

Why do they need to? It's not really necessary. Most children DO see other children naked. Why must they see adults? And stating why not is not an answer.

Wrong on two counts. One...I'm not angry. Angry over forum comments? That purview belongs to others....I don't get angry. Two...she never said what you just attributed to her.

I never brought up movies or generalizations. 'And Girls gone wild' makes over 60 million dollars a year in America, if you think that's fine, and not degrading to women and making men seem like horny idiots, then you have the problem.

And the only reason you'd think children shouldn't see nudity is because you equate it to sex. Exactly my issue. Children growing up never seeing another huamn adult naked is why so many people are so scared of their own bodies. Children should be allowed to learn how they will develop, and the basic biological facts of their own species.

So still generalizing due to dollar amount? The porn industry makes money as well...in various countries. That does not mean the vast majority watches them.

I don't equate nudity as sex....which is exactly my point AGAINST yours. You are making unverified assumptions as to why things are as they are. You do know that putting nude bodies on display IS objectifying them?

Most Americans are not scared of their own bodies. Children DO see how they develop as they develop. No reason they need to see naked adults at a young age though. Really there isn't....and you have yet to provide one.

No, putting nude bodies on display isn't objectifying them at all. Only in America is this true, again. You need to think outside your own personal experiance. something is only 'put on display' if it is presented as such. Not if it is a commonly accepted situation.

And you don't read my posts, I have supplied the incredibly important reason why nudity should be a basic part of life.

Incidently, getting upset and arguing about nudity with a girl for NO reason. you're christian aren't you?

As an American I pretty much agree. Sex and nudity are pretty much synonymous, and I still sort of see it this way.

you clearly didn't read any of it at all, sweetheart. Either that or you're an idiot. Anyone who thinks children should grow into awkward teenagers terrified of their own bodies would have to be.

Again....children see other children along the same development trail as themselves. Not a big deal. And I did read your opinion. Your opinion =/= fact.

Well, aknowledge that neither does your opinion.

This is getting retarded, let's not continue this. We are clearly from different parts of the world and thus understandably have very differing views on subjects. I don't make a habit of forcing my beleifs on others as long as they will not force theirs on me.

Also I really like the Cure, so we can't be that different.

Because we are sophisticated. If you want to see sex rent a porno, because we don't want the content of conventional media causing us problems. Such as kids would see these movies and think it's okay to have sex because they see it in a movie. We don't want to pay for their sex relatedmedical bills and other expenses, such as theirchildren. So we discourage them. By the time they are old enough to rent a porno they should be old enough to care for the consequences they come with sex.

Who other than a minor would want to seesex in a regular movie? Older movies did have a lot of sex related gags though. The movie commando comes to mind. When Arnold kicks Cooke through the motel room wall their is a man and a woman having sex on the bed. She jumps up screaming and pivoting so in the background a set of huge boobs are flapping around. :D

Yet we glorify violence.. This is irrational.

Anyway...edit your post a bit. And since you are from a different part of the world I'll just assume you don't have first hand knowledge of the US. We really aren't all that repressed here and nudity isn't always associated with sex. Nonetheless...I think Australia is a bit more repressive than both the US and UK. You are not from Australia are you?

No, I'm Romani. But i've lived in both England and America. I got a lot of opression in America mainly from very aggressive Christian types. I'm a goth and a dress incredibly outlandishly/scantily and so......I ask for it, I suppose. As I said before I could even undress at the beach in the states, which was just confusing to me.

I think Crazy_Jane knocked it out of the park. The only time you will see nudity on TV in America is if it's some kind of documentary on tribal Africa or Asia. It's almost as if to say that being naked is less civilized... But, as sure as there are stars in the night sky, it's true, that will be the only nudity you see on any kind of broadcast.

Our society's view on sexuality has been marred by the Christian Right to a highly unhealthy degree.

In the UK we do enjoy a bit of the ol' hanky panky as much as anyone else, however we're not as overtly sexual as our continental neighbors and can seem a little prudish in comparison. This is mainly upheld by the old guardians of 'stiff upper lip' morality and notions of what's 'proper' – the BBC for example has always been seen as a fairly vigilant custodian of such values - so we're probably not really as sexually 'progressive; as other nations…

This is mainly upheld by the old guardians of 'stiff upper lip' morality and notions of what's 'proper' – the BBC for example has always been seen as a fairly vigilant custodian of such values - so we're probably not really as sexually 'progressive; as other nations…

Well not really mate.. I live in london and if you go clubbing your almost guaranteed sex, most of those essex 'women' open their legs like an automatic door after a few shots of alcohol. Most of them married too.. I can't get enough of women but you cant blame us british men for not trusting them, they are so secretive these days =/

Well of course with 'our' generation its a little different. I lived in London in the nineties and it was a pretty decadent and hedonistic time - it wasn't too hard to pull. I was talking a little more the older generation, the TV etc. Out in Australia people are much more open about their sexuality compared to us Brits, and over on the continent it's apparent people are much more comfortable about it as well. We seem to be a little more private about it from my experience...

I think Crazy_Jane knocked it out of the park. The only time you will see nudity on TV in America is if it's some kind of documentary on tribal Africa or Asia. It's almost as if to say that being naked is less civilized... But, as sure as there are stars in the night sky, it's true, that will be the only nudity you see on any kind of broadcast.

Our society's view on sexuality has been marred by the Christian Right to a highly unhealthy degree.

The US has a representative government. I agree a lot of Americans are prudes, but I'm not going to call them idiots because they are playing by the rules. I can't speak for the Brits since I've never been.

The sad part is, when the US does get around to showing any nudity, it's always some model or actress whose been in the makeup van for hours. I like seeing real women. I don't care if you're bult like a stick or a rotweiler as long as it's all you.

Lol from what i've seen USA and UK seem to be the ones like that, yes a few european ones are but through a lot of the media, (yes I know mainstream is a load of **** and noone should take it seriously) I have seen so much sexed up stuff from USA and UK. I mean there are even some UK newspapers with topless women on a page to help make it more appealing...

And people wonder why the sun still outsells all other tabloid newspapers on a daily basis...

Never underestimate the power of bared breasts.

I'm not sure what you've been watching but you can see nudity on TV. Unless you don't have cable.:|

Nonetheless...I think Australia is a bit more repressive than both the US and UK. You are not from Australia are you?

LJS9502_basic

This is an odd opinion. Personally, I've found Australia to be less conservative towards sex and nudity than the US.

You can see it in their movies and games. They show more nudity, often putting it in seemingly for the sake of it, in a lot of Spanish, German and Japanese they use a lot more female protagonists in a game. and the game itself seems more of an excuse to put an almost naked girl in, adding some very dubious sounds to her over the course of the action.

It's strange how UK and American both seem to be very lock and key about it all. Can anyone explain why? I may post back later with some examples of things I discovered, keeping it decent of course.

That's got nothing to do with attitude to sex or nudity though. Most games in Australia are refused classification (not banned, crucial distinction), due to violence or drug use reasons. Australia, from my experience, is far more liberal when it comes to nudity and sex than the USA. It's age of consent is universally lower, it's population is exponentially more secular, it's primetime television is far smuttier, and if you've driven the main highways of Sydney or Melbourne recently, you'd have noticed the giant condom, Sexpo and erectile disfunction ads.
