In Scotland we've already got a defence to the crime of sex with a minor, if you are aged under 24 and had legitimate reason to believe that the other party was 16+ then you haven't committed a crime. I don't believe England has similar for some reason.
In relation to your point above, you're absolutely right that some 16 year olds are quite mature enough to have sex and some people who are 20+ aren't but I think the age of consent is just about right as a general rule. People don't automatically become responsible enough at 15 years and 365 days but then again we need some line in the sand to use and 16 seems about as good as any.

I don't think it is right for parents to force their own beliefs onto CHILDREN, and i also assume it to be illegal. Under 16 it would probably not be classed as their own decision.
They wouldn't be breaking the law as long as there was nothing sexual about the photos. Much like if you take a photo of your child in the bath.
Don't you mean "I don't think it is right for parents to force beliefs I don't agree with onto children".

Nope. I'm an athiest, but i wouldn't force that on children either. In an ideal world you would expose them to as much as possible. Which i think i got through school, you learn about different cultures.
But you believe it is fine for society to force it's beliefs on CHILDREN? Remember being naked is natural, it is only society that makes us think that nudity is bad. If you grow up at ease with your body because your parents took you to a naturist community then what is the problem?

Our society wears clothes because its so cold all the time. Plenty of people get their bodies out in the summer. And i certainly don't think our society is offended by porn any more. But walking round naked all the time is like going to the dessert and wearing 3 layers all the time. Not to mention the wasted energy due to the extra heating they need.
Exactly, and being naked is one of those exposures. In fact generally when people get into their teens they start to get a bit awkward about their bodys and want to cover up, which is seen as fine. Then later in life they then start to become naturists again.
Part of parenting is pretty much forcing your beliefs on a child. I believe that "please" and "thank you" need to be said whenever asking for something and then receiving it. Hence my child doesn't get something unless she says please and gets it taken off her if she doesn't say thank you. I believe in equality and so am trying to bring my child up to be aware of but not discriminate due to race or gender or sexual orientation (the last one will wait a bit as she has no idea what it means yet). I believe that reading is really important so I am doing my best to instill a love of books into my child and so on and so forth.
Basically you try to imprint a whole raft of your value systems onto a child because it is what you believe is right. And to be honest, the rather British fascination/repulsion with nakedness is something I would rather she wasn't overly concerned about.
So what is the problem with parent taking their children to a naturist beach for example? Society as a whole still frowns on nudity.
And actually walking around completely naked in a town center is technically legal, as long as you are not causing distress.
Which you inevitably would due to observer discomfort based on societal ideals - just as you're branching towards.

A naked beach will make children cry, it really is a ghastly sight.

That sounds nice but is more than a little unrealistic I'm afraid, conciously or not you will force your beliefs onto your child. About the best you can hope for is that your beliefs are relatively sensible and that your child will grow up to be a well adjusted individual.

admiration? More like curiosity.
