Although I am a Christian, and such a thing would probably be considered immoral...I have a generally liberal attitude towards it.

That said, I don't have the greatest body in the world, yet I'm mostly unashamed of my body. I don't go totally nude in public, but on several occaisions, I've come close *coughcheetahthongcough*

The only thing that I worry about is that other people might become offended by my scantily clad self :p

How is the human body immoral? :p

Nudity is fine as long as you're not forcing someone to see things they don't want to see. That said, it isn't a huge deal to me.

nudity has been around longer than the concept of morality.
so why bother?

I don't find it immoral, but some people just shouldn't be seen naked. It's a matter of asthetics.

I'd love if especially well-built men (and for the heteros also girls), were allowed to walk around naked. I'd have a great day every day, watching them human beauties strut their stuff without the problem of "morality". We're all born nude and we leave the world nude, so I see no problem with people being nude. Though it is an issue of aesthetics - I'd rather see a young, muscular man nude than an old, tattered and possible even fat guy. But if people were allowed to be nude in public, I'd have to deal with this sight everytime... hmm no thanks :p

Let's face it - most people no one wants to see naked, and most people don't want to be seen naked. In the absence of an objective aesthetic standard, more people are served by mandating some level of clothes rather than not.

I'll stay covered up thanks.

It is less about me being a prude and more about me liking people and not wanting to cause psychological damage (or possibly damage their sight on a bright day since I'm pretty pale).

Oh... and I kinda like the idea of other people staying covered up. Why? Because imagination is often so much better than reality.

Most people don't die naked. even if you make it to the deathbed, you're gonna be in a hospital gown, or pjs or something. I guess you're naked when your Occidio Multus-types go to town on ya, but still.

Nudity is great as long as it isn't slutty nudity. There is a difference for example in society today if two people take a bathe together its automatically related to sex though I can honestly say I've bathed with people nonsexually.

Having been to germany and experienced nudity of all kinds, fat, thin, big, small, wrinkled, flacid,turgid, freckley, yellow,old, young...It was shocking at first but soon I became accustomed and then it was nice to be free, so much so, that I'm seriously considering setting up a nudist camp here in prudish England - where people care if you wear clothes. Part of the problem is that many people feel the need to express themselves through clothing and once you take away the superficial material they become meer mortals just like the rest of us.

Our bodies are part of who we are, whether clothed or nude. Most nudes of female and male bodies give the human form a degree of nobility, IMHO.

My opinion, 'eh, whatever'.

You want to be nude, take it off. You want to wear clothes, put them on. Whatever.

Stating that nudity is immoral is akin to saying that breathing is immoral.

I had similar experiences to Kathryn, though I have no desire to set up my own nudist camp in this country. Broadly speaking though, I'm all for nudity and think it should be encouraged.

In my own opinion, i'm all for people being naked, if they want to then yeah, go for it, whoo naked people! However, while i support peoples right to be naked, i don't think i'll be joining the nudist brigade any time soon. To me my body is a very personal thing, to be shared only with a well-chosen few. It makes it more special.

Plus i'm pretty sure the world at large doesn't really want to see me naked, so both me and the world are happy. :)

I'm fine with nudity as long as they don't look sickeningly disgusting. If a fat person is nude, why not. but if a fat person with like 7 sets of love handles and flab going everywhere, that can get sickening. But I have no problem being scantily clad, though I have no muscles. Plus, it's fun to run around alone in say your house naked, you feel so Free.

It's fun. ANd funny. I'm of two minds about this:

One, I don't think it's fair to end up getting a criminal record for a little public nudity.

On the other hand, if it were totally legal, it might become too commonplace and nobody would be shocked and amused when I streak their church. :)

Though considered by some to be inhumane, I oft feel that primeval drive to release myself from these societal bonds of cotton and polyester, frolicking free and incredibly naked across a field of pastel-colored wildflowers--the smell of lylac and vanilla seeping through my pores.

My only issue is people not covering their drippy parts... I don't want to sit in a puddle of someone else's posterior fluids... just not sanitary. Also should make sure kids don't die of exposure.

Aside from that, I don't particularly want to see naked flabby folks, but it's not mine to hinder others.

If you go to a sauna then there are more than 2 people naked.

Once I was in Germany in a sauna and the old ladies there (the Hyatt in Cologne had only a mixed sauna) threw an American out who didn't want to get out of his swimming trunks.
