boyfriday Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 An interesting topic. I think people in the northern hemisphere wear clothes because it is bloody freezing most of the time. There are several tribes in warmer parts of the globe that wear next to nothing. They always seem to cover their genitalia though! This has always been a mystery to me. Is this to do with religion or just plain modesty? That's a good point paulwilliams, someone mentioned earlier the practical application of clothes to keep warm through necessity. But as you say why do tribes in warmer climes feel the need to cover up? I think Dr Livingston might have a lot to answer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddler Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Enrique Iglesias does not think so. He will water ski nude in the dark in the USA. Reason; Spain won the world cup. Good on you Enrique. I bet he has as much attention as the "whole" of the photographers in the whole of the UNIVERSE!! Better news than anything BP can conure up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Depends. If she's under 25 it's " pure art" If she's around 50 plus it's "quick somebody throw a blanket around her" time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danot Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't think it's offensive as such, there's just an overwhelming sense of awkwardness about it, Heightened most probably by the media/mainstreams subtle yet highly effective conditioning techniques. Isn't this the reason why flaunting our underwear in public usually results in 'eeeeek!, yet swimwear gets a resounding wah-hey!.. how bizaar.

decoy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 No problem with nudity, but only on the beach due to the hygiene factor. Would not want to sit on something that a naked bum and bits had sat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
