Is nudity wrong?

strobeef · Dec 28, 2007

How could something this natural be a sin if one is careful not to offend?

Trashionista · Dec 28, 2007

It's not wrong. I don't see anything morally wrong with nudity.
It's not to say I have to enjoy seeing others naked on the beach, however.
Just as a man has a right to wear a Speedo on the beach, doesn't mean he should.
Its not offensive. Just... skimpy bikinis, public nudity, and Speedos aren't exactly appetizing on all people.

Anyone who thinks nudity is wrong is mentally sick.*

*unless you're talking about exploitative nudity such as child pornography, etc.

It is definetly not wrong, it just depends on when and where. Quirk, I totally agree.

It's not wrong exactly, it's a natural thing, yet it's a crime to walk naked down the street...hmm think about it.

Its only wrong if I find the person who is nude unattractive

The OP asks: "How could something this natural [nudity] be a sin if one is careful not to offend?"

Well, exactly HOW can you be SURE to not offend anyone?

If you can answer this one, then maybe you have a point.

Many people can get offended over things I don't think twice about.
So, unless a person can FULLY understand everyone (and I think that's an impossible task), the question is illogical.

Certainly, a Happy nudity session can be set up, with planning.
Say, you go to a Nudist Colony.
You can be pretty sure that you can go around completely nude there, without offending anyone.
So, POOF . . . no sin.

To be honest I find speedos more offensive than nudity,

That someone finds nudity offensive says more about the person who is offended than about nudity imo.

Its is 14 degrees here with a windchill of 3 degree above zero...I almost have to wear a scarf and gloves to get into the shower. No way I'm walking around nude moral or not!

nudity is fine. I have never seen the problem with nudist beaches. Women sunbath topless on the beaches here all the time in the summer. Its really not a big deal. We also have an unofficial nudist beach.

The Weight loss ticker in your signature? I LOVE that idea. Is that part of your New Year's Resolutions?

It's not wrong, it is just socially unacceptable in most places in the U.S. to walk around nude.

Yes. My aim last year was to reach a healthy bmi which I have done. Now I just want to get rid of the last few pounds (I am at the high end of healthy and I want to be at the low end to middle of healthy).

True, true. I believe no man should ever be seen in public in a Speedo.

When I hear "nudity" it's always in the context of enticement & people trying to justify it by saying it's normal when they just want the person on the other side of the argument to roll over & accept their perusal of porn.

In and of itself, it isn't wrong.

There are instances in the Bible where we're told that nakedness is a symbol of our sinfulness before God, but I don't believe we're ever told that nudity, in and of itself, is sin.

Our farm is right where two rivers meet, so we have the two rivers on the one side, and the Chesapeake Bay on the other. There are dozens of secluded, private little creeks and swimming holes there.

In the summertime, when there's no one around, I go skinny dipping all the time.

This dicussion is mostly positive to me. I live in the country and many days never get dressed to go out to work. I am careful not to be seen by others. Have never had any conviction that it is wrong!

Only for ugly people!

Darkhorse · Dec 31, 2007

How could it possibly be wrong when it's the outfit we begin life in?

Apollo Celestio · Dec 31, 2007

No, it's..our natural state. But there is definitely a time and a place..
