Manditory Nudity could change the world... maybe...
(I doubt it could, but this has 'interesting debate' written all over it...)

Just think:

Obesity: What obese person would venture outside their house if we enforced manditory nudity laws? They'd call for an in-home gym and personal trainer.

School Uniforms: No longer would children be mocked about their clothes. No longer would schools endlessly debate the uniform dilemma. We would all wear the same uniform- our birthday suit!

Status Symbols Just think how much money teenage girls and their parents would save if they weren't compelled to buy the latest pair of distressed jeans. Instead, they could spend their money on other things.

Ousting the Stars Poor Olsen twins. They'll have to think of something else to sell to the mindless millions. Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on just the Olsen twins. Let's not forget Janet Jackson. She'd never have another wardrobe malfunction.

And of course, with every great idea comes a few problems. I'm afraid tampons would basically be a necessity, and I know that the Roman Catholic Church frowns upon these handy-dandy little items. Actually, you know what? Screw the Catholic Church; they frown on everything. Well, not everything, they like-
no. I better not say it. Someone will get pissy.

I think you'll see a lot more of that with mandatory nudity. What about under-18ers?

Public nudity would completely remove pick-pocketing.

I live in Canada. Clothing actually serves a purpose here as well.

Mandatory public nudity is preposterous. Where do I carry all the coins I pick up from the street? As a matter of fact, how do you even expect me to walk on the street without contracting awful diseases? Seriously, leave it an option and those who choose to do it will. The rest of us might not want to. ;)

And optical cancer. Do you really want to see a 50 year old fatman naked?

Mandatory nudity would also increase the profits of certain medical practices.

Can you imagine the increase in demand of tetanus shots from forced bare feet?

I have a little bit of hippie in me--I go barefoot whenever I can, wherever I can. Sooner or later I'm gonna need one of those shots. It feels good to know that, with compulsory nudity, those shots will be around in surplus.

It would most certainly kill the pornography industry, and put much of a crimp on human sexuality. After all, if everyone is naked all the time, then it'll become normal and it'll stop arousing us.

Oh, and perhaps you've forgotten that there are plenty of people no one would want to see naked. Like me. I'm as ugly as a monkey set on fire and dipped in cocaine; if I walked around nude I'd be responsible for mass murder.

That works for the nomadic tribes, no other country/nation would do that, it would take at least 50 years to get fully adjusted.

No because if it were then only females would be required to be nude, and they wouldn't be allowed to conduct business. ;)

Obesity---most men would not worry about it, if it were legal. They would proudly parade their paunches up and down the street, hoping some deranged female would dare to aspire to feel their greatness...

Stars---many would probably look like scabby skeletons and would no longer be able to command big salaries...All body lifts would become the rage, along with butt implants, penis implants, etc...

Tampons---what about accidents?

And don't forget---many men would walk around with dripping penises, and skid marks on their buttocks---

enough--ewww!!! :eek:

School Uniforms: No longer would children be mocked about their clothes. No longer would schools endlessly debate the uniform dilemma. We would all wear the same uniform- our birthday suit!but the comparing of equiptment will still be going on.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't look at pornography solely to see naked people---I look to see people having wild sex, especially things that I would not do (but might like to try).

So lots of ugly naked bodies in the street would cause me to run home, shut the blinds and sit down in front of the computer to see better looking people doing fun things! ;)

Or it could cause a surge in eating disorders such as anorexia and the use of steriods. At least in American culture, I don't believe such a ban on clothing would be at all beneficial - I can just imagine the hype about the perfect body amplified ten fold, without any close to hide the "flaws" of a person's body.

Just memories from middle school make me shudder; (in my experience) girls (at least) can be very competitive at that age, and usually don't have much of a sense of compassion. Now suddenly you're nude, and nothing to hide that rather large birth mark...

I like my clothes. They keep me from freezing to death, give me pockets, and give me something to hide behind. I would be a very cold and very angry naked man. I would probably go kill whatever lawmakers passes manditory nudity. Oh God, I don't think i could get near G.W. if he were naked. >_<

Being a nudist I find some of these comments totally hilarious. We don't care what people look like. It's about the freedom of being nude. We don't lose our sexuality, it's still there. It's just that mere nudity doesn't mean we get turned on, thats all. Nudists have as much or more sex than non-nudists (textiles) do. Sex is more about the mind and the situation, not about just being naked.

Those who are in the US might not understand that nudity is a complex issue and not simply about sex. There are many kinds of nudity. Some are sexy and some are not.

Why didn't you tell me that that link wasn't worksafe! Now I have been fired from my current job, and preemptivelty fired from all other jobs. Also my car has melted down into its base elements, my apartment kicked me out, and right now every woman on the planet is calling me so that they can dump me!
And it is all your faul for not warning me that a nudist site might contain nudity.

NOTE: All of the above in this post was a lie, much like most of the pro-Nudity arguments are lies. Unless this note is also a lie. But then that means that the above post is true, and that by going to the nudist website you will also be kicked out of society. I am confused and will go lie down now.

The only nudist resort within driving distance does not allow single people. So, if it isnt about sex, what are they afraid of?

I don't agree with those kind of policies but they originated from years back when they were afraid that too many single guys hanging around would scare off women trying it for the first time. A few decades ago the clubs only admitted married couples and families and that was it. There was no touching allowed, no drinking alcohol, it was very strict. Now the new ones have nightclubs.

My club allows singles without reservation, as it should be, and there is not an overabundance of single guys there.

You'd not think it would be that way (not allowing singles) but a lot of nudists are extremely conservative. It's been slowly changing though. More and more clubs are waking up and realizing how much money they are turning away at the gate by being afraid to change.
