WHY ARE AMERICANS SO AFRAID OF NUDITY?


[+] ballot by docletot
created Sun Feb 15, 04

The human body is our friend, nothing dirty about it. Did the church tell us we were dirty and wrong to be naked?

Religious control over us
Children shouldn't know anything about nakedness
People are immature
Nudity is always wrong
The human body is gross
only female nudity (they're all gay)
Afraid of Nudity??? More like: Afraid of Shrinkage
Stupidity
Voting "Religious control" makes me sound smart!
because we want your MOTHER to keep her clothes on
human bodies are ugly...that's why we have clothes
don't want clothing companies to go broke
Because americans are fat and ugly
I love ugly nude fat women
nudity causes extreme lust. lust causes bad family
Because most Americans are overweight
overly-puritanical sensibilities

God made you naked. Why do religious people see so much shame in it?

i think a lot of it is about context.people freak out when something unexpected happens(you know what i'm talking about--super bowl)because oh sh!t, now i'm gonna have to explain it to the kids.i never understood why adults make such a big deal out of that, anyway.
i think the thing with janet jackson is that no one really knew than if it was planned or not.did he just rip her bra of without her knowledge?how would she feel about that?it's a good opportunity to talk about that kind of thing though.on the other hand, if there were commercials for soap or whatever, would that be a big deal here?it's not overtly sexual, or even sexual at all, but americans seem to hang on to this puritanical idea that our bodies are to be hidden away.it's really, really unnatural and strange, but what can you do?:)

p.s.--the way womens bodies are so sexualized, it doesnt really surprise me that people freak out about nudity i guess.as if the only way you can view a naked female is in sexual terms.take john ashcroft, for example, who had to cover a statue of lady justice with velvet cloth because she had a bare breast.now that is just f@cking ridiculous.womens bodies are much more than sexual objects.

If half the population of the country YOU lived in was obese...would you want to see them naked?????

english people are too. i think it has something to do with being afraid of judgment and superficiality. or they are trinig to hide their genital herpes. not me tho. im naked right now.

My mother told me that her grandmother was literally afraid of seeing people naked to the point that she would get nauseous. I wonder how she ever had kids.

Why is Europe so afraid of guns? Guess we got different priorities.
by Lucky on Sun Mar 07, 04 6:21pm [+]

Because obesity in it's true colors scares people. Well, that, and what would they do in the winter?

No offence to american people but admit it all american girls suck. Since the past 10 years there hasn't even been 1 Miss Universe from U.S.A. so much that nowadays no-one in the U.S. is even interested in watching programs like Miss World/Universe coz they already know what's comin' their way. It's coz they lack BRAINS. Anyways the best Girls are Indian girls, which have been Miss World/Universe continuously in a row since the last five years. Now that's an acheivement. Wow Man! those chicks aren't just hot they got brains too, unfortunately most of them don't enter in Hollywood since their culture forbids them from kissing other men besides their husband, and posing nude on screen.

But Americans? Who the F**k said americans are afraid to appear nude on screen. I h've heard cases for which people have Stripped, F**ked live for 50 bucks a day!

so docletot or whoever you are getcha facts right ya faggot and then post all this bullshit.

Yo from the Saka Bow - F**kin Wanksta from da streets of Saudi Arabia.

America was founded by religious Puritans (they seem to have had serious sexual hang-ups). My completely unsubstantiated theory: We never developed beyond this neurosis.

For the life of me, I can't understand why Janet Jackson's breast is obscene, but simulations of grisly death and violence are "entertainment."
by Cathexis on Wed Jun 16, 04 2:26pm [+]

Also: The US is in the grip of a Religious Right wave (e.g., look at our Executive and Legislative branches). They seem to view 99% of sex as sin.

And I suspect they aren't happy about that last 1%.

fore saka_bow obviously yr an indian an ya fine indian chicks r pretty but lets nt gt carried away it was a miss india who said that mpther teresa was the greatest living legend even though the lady was dead an that grl won that year so i really wld not like to speculate on her brains or the integrity of these contests

I have no problem with nudity, in fact I love to be naked. Also, for people who were all crazy about Janet Jackson, it was a boob. Boobs are great,
and should not be labled as "shameful" the human body is a beautiful thing, and I think is artistic. You were born naked, and that is how you will leave this earth: Naked.

As an American I can attest to too many fat people.As for the issue of JJ's breast the outrage is more an issue of encouraging promiscuous behavior.MTV is gutter trash and as a parent now I deffinitly do not want my kids turning into tramps and sluts.Again,it's not the nudity so much as the behavior.Myself I don't see why outsiders have a problem with Americans not liking that sleazy half time show and wanting to be heard.What happened to power to the people libs?

Hey guest,who is bigoted and against religeon?If that'a meant for me then you should reread my other post because you are confused.
by robotthinker on Mon Oct 11, 04 9:02pm [+]

by morbid_angel666 on Wed Nov 24, 04 4:52pm [+]

i'm american. i'm not afraid of nudity and i love sex. so what the fuck is this "all americans" bs?
by exarmydude on Wed Dec 29, 04 2:16am [+]

Because most americans are fat lol i'm only joking guys.
by seon on Sun Jan 02, 05 11:07pm [+]

Because everyone looks better with clothes on.
by zorra on Sat Jan 29, 05 9:55am [+]

Voted : Nudity is always wrong
It's not that I'm afraid of nudity, my body is for no one to see. It's not modest and it's no one's business.
