Nudity -vs- Pornography

It appears that nudity in society is still being deemed pornographic. It’s a confusing issue to me when you consider nudity is pretty much in our faces anytime you turn on MTV or watch cop shows. And yet! Nudity is still being seen as dirty, pornographic and morally unacceptable behaviour.

Pornography, to me, is fine. It’s not my passion much anymore as I find it boring and the same old thing. I’ve seen my share in my teens and twenties and even on the internet as it is the single greatest entity on the net. But I am no longer much impressed by it or intrigued with watching it anymore. And as you might be able to gather, I’m not one for the great morality push that politicians have plagued onto our society and our country, but I do believe in the regulations that follow. Like children, animals, public and harmful pornographic is best as being illegal and immoral. But nudity should not be seen in that category and things need to be seen differently by the public and for the public. I would like to see it as less offensive as this is a new society where we, as the middle-aged and the aging seniors, were more susceptible to the naked people around us much more than the generations before us

I’ve always been intrigued by the issue because nudity is the first thing we possess as we are born. We are immediately clothed to keep us warm after birth and from there it’s clothes, clothes, clothes!

(Diapers were purely understandable as nobody likes to clean that up)

But as I have studied up on the subject from various articles on the net, from science to medical to Wikipedia to many varied yokel observations, I am finding the acceptance of nudity more and more a reality as we are going on in life.

But I have read articles noting how it was unacceptable for women to not being allowed to show their knees as late as the 1940’s.

By the 60’s, society had started getting a taste of the future of nudity when women took off their bras and burned them as the entire Woodstock festival was plagued with a slew of naked people dancing, jamming, bathing and relieving themself - a great movie, by the way.

And just recently we’ve seen tits becoming the focus of women’s appearances from boob jobs to famous actresses on the red carpet showing everything but their own carpet (and even Pamela Lee is not afraid to show you that).

Internet pornography still stands as just that: Pornographic! Nudity is only incidental when it comes to pornography but then again so is the bed and couch they use. Granted you have to be naked to perform pornography (to some extent, although clothing makes it harder to do but not impossible) but you also have to be naked to shower, change clothes and in many cases of people I know past and present, to sleep.

Nudity is a natural form of our being. We were born like that and to my observation, we are still naked under our clothing. And to that I’ve always figured the big deal of it all as being minute because in the general big picture of it all, you are either male or female. There isn’t very many different degrees to that logic. And we as a human race know that the opposite sex has and does with it. Granted, that is a somewhat sophomoric observation, and even something of a cliche, but it’s true.

Me? Well, I like clothing and have a quite a few articles in my closet. I enjoy a great looking shirt and nicely fitting jeans. But I sleep naked and when I’m not required to go out in public I’m either halfway naked or all the way naked (depending on my weight issue at the time relating to the self-esteem issue at the time). But I’m never afraid to be naked nor am I afraid to talk about it. I appreciate its comfort and the closeness and trust I can obtain from it. And through it nothing has become taboo or embarrassing to either me or Tracy. And as we are more open to the idea we are finding more people into the subject and participants to it. It’s more around you than you figured from all age groups from the young to the old and the fat to the thin. The ugly and beautiful people. Black and white. I have met and spoken to many people and know that the numbers of naked people out there is somewhat staggering. But yet it’s still not normal to society.
