Chris_Sleeps Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 But if she'd been wearing her underwear the film would have caused a scandal. Maybe a pyschological trick we play on ourselves. Underwear is private clothing, and swimwear is public clothing. They are the same though, in essence. It is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty on display there The carry-on films and Benny Hill, toyed with our prudishness towards everything that we sexualise. underwear was flaunted because it was deemed naughty to do so.. since when as underwear been naughty?

Lotusflower Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Why does this happen in almost every modern day society? First we sexualise something that isn't sexual, then we feel awkward towards it because we associate sex with it, then we condemn the sight of it because it's obscene. Could it be a form of mental illness? You mean "I" don't you? I wouldn't call it "mental illness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danot Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 You mean "I" don't you? I wouldn't call it "mental illness." No, I mean we. If it only applied to me, then I would suspect that no one would take a second look if I ventured out in my boxers on a hot day, but you and I both know that wouldn't be the case. If it only applied to me then I would suspect that no one would pass judgement if I allowed my 7 year old daughter to wear make up and high heels for school, but you and I both know that wouldn't be the case. If it only applied to me then I would suspect that most men wouldn't feel compellled to stare when a woman is eating something phalic, but once again you and I both know that this isn't the case.... don't we?

Bulgarian Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 our traditional prudeness (no sex please, we're British!). I've "known" people from several countries (no slut) and I've found British people to be the least prudish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not "most men" Danot...I'm me. If you really believe the "we" you use to be universal I may have to ponder the question of "mental illness" all over again.
