the program, 'how to look good naked' on C4 from 8-9 shows boobs, but they are mostly either fat or old lol.

I said it once and I'll say it again, it is hard to get bad boobs, unless there are none (I.e Fried eggs) or they can be tied in a knot round your ears then they pass muster in my books.

I am either desperate or not very fussy, you decide.

Not too keen on censorship either, but the problem with nudity on TV (like with most other taboo subjects) is, where do you draw the line?

Think about it, unless everyone suddenly stops wearing clothes, when else would one be nude? If it becomes acceptable to show womens' breasts on day time tv, this would naturally lead to the question, "why not just show them completely nude?". Now in mosts cases, a nude person will be in the process of some sort of sexual activity so do we then start showing that too?

The reason for not showing nudity on daytime tv, is because it reflects the society we live in (or supposed to be living in). Sex, imho should stay behind closed doors in privacy; feel free to debate this but remember to clean up the worms afterwards.

That's not the case though, unfortunately our social conditioning has made us believe this. As a society we now don't seem to be able to differentiate sex and nudity, but there is a big difference. What would be sexual about showing somebody getting out of a shower, or getting changed, wondering around naked in their house or sunbathing toples/naked on a beach? Nothing, but we as a society see that as sexual.

If people started walking around topless/naked more in the summer we would start disassociating nudity with sex and just see it as normal. The problem is it is/would be seen as sexual to begin with and so people aren't allowed to do it.
