Nudity does us good...

nowt wrong with nudity itself, just some peoples over interest in it.

most kids would have been at school and any that happened to see it are going to be curious as opposed to offended or mentally scarred in some way, it's pretty much the same parental knee-jerk reaction that the one armed Cbeebies presenter received, ridiculously over the top, over involved, over sensitive parents who thought their children would be worried by seeing it.

And if a child is mentally scarred by the image then it probably has something to do with the parenting than the viewing of a perfectly innocent program...

Well, I prefer people to be clothed outside in the street. If some hot woman wants to get naked on TV then fine but personally I'd rather remain clothed and 'insecure'.

True, people walking around naked on a street would be odd (even in european countries it's confined to relaxing (beaches/parks)) but nudity on TV, what's the problem? In Spain for example, it's 2pm and an advert for shower gel comes on, instead of hiding things awkwardly they have a topless woman in the shower, nothing sexual about it, in the UK on the other hand, there was one advert in the 80's similar to that and it was banned within about 5 minutes because people found it wrong. Well newsflash moany people, if you find innocent nudity "wrong" and sexual then you are the one that needs to look at yourself and work out why you see sex everywhere, not the people that made it, or the people that looked at the advert and saw an attractive woman advertising a womans product...

But we're encouraged to find nudity sexual. Supressing it doesn't help and makes it seem more forbidden, etc. but at the end of the day, I'm only happy if attractive people (preferably women) with nice bodies are taking their clothes off. No-one wants to see a 70-year-old get naked for example. Doesn't matter if its progressive or not, I don't want to see it.
 
If you don't want to see it, change channel. Someone clearly does want to see it or the programme wouldn't exist. Funny that you're offended by the idea of old people naked, but not someone attractive.

Is that all nakedness is, a source of arousal?

Sex sells, so we're living in an increasingly sexualised world - but it seems now we can't separate bodies from sex.

If we'd all grown up in families who walked around houses naked occasionally (you dry quicker than walking around in a damp towel/robe), or gone skinny dipping together on holiday (a last-min run into the sea at night when it's dark needs no trunks/bikini), then maybe it wouldn't be that way. But I tell you, I can see my father buck-naked and not think once of sex. If I did, THAT would be wrong.

I'm not offended by it being shown on TV but I won't watch it (the old people).

Pretty much, yep. Look at the posters in this thread recommended the episode with the hot woman (which I've already seen :o)
 
Indeed, I ended up trying to do a drawing. I think mine ended up better than the artists.

damn, looked up some pictures of said model, she's ridiculously hot.

But I agree, a nothing complaint about nothing wrong happening. People like to pretend they are shocked about things, they just pick up on general idea's and believe them without thinking. Lots of people think nudity = bad, swearing = horrific, etc, etc, but these are things they have heard or were told, not idea's they came up with after thinking through themselves.

How anyone can logically come to the conclusion that it would be harmful or in any way bad for anyone watching I don't know, but thats the thing, these people don't think, just react without a seconds thought about whats so wrong with it.

Spot on. :)

And I have a feeling that if these people were to see their parents naked they would probably think something related to about sex (and go "ewwwww" etc.) instead of just seeing it as a bit of flesh...

I have no problem with nudity, and wish more people were open with it.

Once I get my own house, I'm going to spend most of the time nude anywhere, feels so much nicer and less restrictive than wearing clothes.

this to be honest, i only wear clothes for other peoples mental safety...

To be fair though, she's doing nothing but sit there for the whole episode, not moving at all. It's hardly erotic or sexual whatsoever.

exactly, that has to be about the hottest woman that didn't make me stand to attention whilst seeing 30 minutes of her nude, it's in a completely different context, she's not exactly shoving a cucumber up her bum and gargling man juice :rolleyes:

I was flicking through the channels the other day and caught this, saw it was a life-drawing type thing and just switched over, didn't have another thought about it.
It's hardly end of the world stuff really.
