Clothing Optional Beaches

[Beanieboy]

Are official Clothing Optional Beaches moral? Why or why not?

 

[Washington]

They are moral because they do not violate my sense of right and wrong. Bare flesh harms no one, so when displayed in appropriate contexts I don't see it as an issue worthy of condemnation or illegality.

Some in society are offended by naked bodies. Others desire them. Some on each side of this can not enjoy the beach if their view of how much (or little) flesh is exposed.

To me the moral issue comes down to fair use and notice. Make sure clothing optional beaches have good notice signs and poor 'sight lines'. Try to find some nice sites, but do not reserve the best beaches for clothing optional.

That is today, and influenced by relative sizes of the population. 30 years from now it could be that clothing required beaches are the exception and reserving the best beaches for clothing required would be the wrong option.

But well posted would still stand, even if things get reversed otherwise.

They are not immoral, since no one is harmed. No more, no less.

So where is the moral componant here?

I will tell you where the immoral is at, it is the big hirsute guy wearing the hair sweater that needs to embrace the idea that is WAXING, we do not need more organic dental floss in the oceans or on the beach and it is downright disgusting.

I get everything waxed every few weeks and it is nice to get rid of that awful fur.

I don't think I could ever wax down there.

Nude beaches are moral in and of themselves because that is the way God created Adam and Steve...naked.

Considering the fact that it's only very religious countries (like the Middle East and [believe it or not] the United States) that link nudity to sex, I would have to say in general nude beaches are not immoral.

It's interesting how much satisfaction Christians and Islamics derive from controlling others. I'm sure there's more than a couple of psychology papers on the subject. "We're in charge here, and you'll do as we say . . . . because . . . . because we say so."

"And wear more clothes. I can see you."

Not only that, we've written books that say so, so there!

If people can appreciate the human body for it's beauty as God's creation, then I see no problem.

The problem is that society, by both glamourising and fearing nakedness, has created some sort of new ideaology that clothes cover this sexual object. That wasn't the original intention. Adam and Eve were naked. You know why they clothed themselves? Because of shame. Because they were afraid of it. Nowadays, we forget that the clothing is because we're no longer proud of God's creation. Imagine if we stopped glamourising naked girls as something you just play with and stopped fearing it like it's going to jump out and eat us. Then we would all be naked since it's God's creation. What could be more beautiful.

Personally, I get kind of sick of people gasping when they come in my room and to study anatomy I'm drawing based off of a naked model. Seriously, I'm not getting off to it. It's a legitimate study for art. I'd like my people to look like human beings. So sue me.

I see what you did there.

I don't think it is immoral.
Heck, Adam and Eve were butt naked before eating that darn apple.
Just not necessarily on an exclusive beach

Gotta visit one of those.
