I think we should all be naked all the time.

    Except perhaps in congested areas like clubs because it would be just too easy to rape someone. :P

    Being nude is natural. Wearing clothes is like half way between covering your whole face with a veil. Think of it like how people who wear veils all the time must feel so "naked" and afraid when they don't have them on.

    It's time to let go of our stupid superstitions and "guilt" and hiding of things and just show ourselves to the world. What have we got to hide after all?

    I don't know about you but where I live it gets chilly.....

    irish weather would cut the t1ts off ya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,215 ✭✭✭galah


    what, and freeze to death? Or does that mean that us womenfolk can stop shaving our legs etc and be competely natural?

    Will ya put an age restriction on it, or does all this also apply to one's parents, for example?

    careful what you wish for....

    Yeah that's the only other reason why it mightn't be realistic. But I don't think people should be punished for being naked anyway...

    What if.... and bare bear with me on this... people covered up in places EXCEPT for their genitals? I know it would turn it into some kind of weird porn movie :P .....but it would make a kind of sense if you think about it. It's covering up for the weather but not because of sexuality.

    I don't see why there should necessarily be age restrictions on it.

    Not after people got used to it though. We're conditioned now to get one whenever we see a naked woman because it's so rare. However in nudist camps/colonies it's a rare enough thing, because people just view naked women so much they don't see a big deal about it.

    Yes, people's freedom should be curtailed to avoid other people's disgust :rolleyes:. Why not bring make ugly/old people cover their faces too?

    That's not to say I think nudity is socially appropriate in all situations. If nudity was legal and some randomer came onto a train and sat naked beside me, yes I'd be uncomfortable. But not really any more uncomfortable than I would be if they came in today wearing just underwear :eek:.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 664 ✭✭✭craggles


    You can get naked if you want. You'll die of hypothermia in a few months though.

    So Paedophiles get to roam around naked, see children naked, go home

    *fap, fap fap*...

    No, just no, its digusting.

    If they wish to do that it's possible. It's not our business what they do in their own home.

    Maybe disorders such as pedophilia wouldn't be around to begin with if there wasn't such an "exclusivity" and elusiveness about it which could be what turns them on to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,476 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    Might be best to limit it to beaches and swimming areas and see how that goes... or limit it to schools and public service offices to save on uniform costs

    Disgust is an emotion. Laws should not be determined by emotions (which are subjective, fickle and not neccesarily rational), they should be determined by rational logic. You'll have to do better than an appeal to emotion if you want to explain why nudity should be illegal.

    I dont see a problem with it from a freedom point of view, however I dont want to get used to seeing women naked, it would take the appeal out of it. There has always been something sexier about a half dressed woman showing a hint of possibility than a fully naked "there you go then" woman. Then there is the problem with my keys, phone, wallet etc and the mess one would make of seats and so on. I think what you really want is a nakedness of the truth about each other instead of having to grow hair all over.

    Naked all the time? No thanks. I've had hot tea & coffee spilled on me twice this week. I'd rather not have boiled nuts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,677 ✭✭✭deise go deo


    Socity has the right to make laws in the intrest of the (vast)majority. Nudeity is just too impracticle and unwanted here to be worth trying.

    If you really want it stand for election in the nude. See how far you get.:rolleyes:

    Only because it makes your instincts more afraid of not getting anyone and being teased out of it. Fear, confusion, pretending to your instincts there is something there that isn't, shouldn't be something that helps your sex drive. What about when a woman gets nude with you then, will you ask her "sorry can you put on that underwear for a minute again to get me turned on?" :rolleyes:

    You could stick a few things inside something on your foot, like how people put guns (lol, I know that is probably a bad example) in there.

    I'm sure you'd survive it. You could be a lot more cautious over it.

    As opposed to how it is now, where they see'em fully clothed then go home and imagine them in the nip and *fap, fap, fap*...

    Just because yer covering up something doesn't hide the problem...

    Anyhow... back to more serious matters...

    It'd be like a fap-athon...

    To be fair I don't think we have the weather for constant nudeyness in this country.

    Empty saddle bags, maybe we should just have a hot girls only nudist rule.

    you clearly did not grow up with nudist beaches and camps, did you? :p

    Well, all I can say from experience is that once you've seen your elderly geography teacher on a surfboard in the nip, you would change your mind.

    And once you've spend some time in nudist camps (don't ask), the most ickiest thing ever is seeing people having their breakfast nude, or go shopping with nothing more than a basket.

    And I am not shy or prude - I just don't need to see other peoples bits (any bits) uninvited. *shudder*

    Talking about things being "Natural" on the Internet.

    Makes perfect sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    If we were naked all the time, nakedness would lose its mystique and eroticism (although I'm not saying it always has to be sexualised, it ain't always sexy anyway :pac:) - plus we wouldn't get to wear nice clothes... :(

    It does make perfect sense. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    There's nothing unnatural about communicating. Language in itself is unnatural, oral communication is just as bad or worse than typing (because it's harder to say/receive what you want in oral communication).

    No need for your cheap sarcasm.

    Yes and we would lose our sexual dysfunctions as a result. How bad?

    If fabric used to keep warm and comfortable(Like it has been done since before our species even existed the way it does today) is unnatural, then so is the Internet.

    Well there is an argument there. In an ideal world we wouldn't need to use computers, tvs, cars, etc. either. But giving up clothes is something that would cause us little to no drawbacks, it is a purely psychological thing.

    I think saying: "the internet is unnatural therefore we should pay no attention to nature until we give up the internet" is an extremely lame argument, and I know that's not what you said but it was something like that.

    Just blowing it off as making "no sense" just because it's on the internet is ridiculous.

    Well, this whole thread is to do with emotion.

    I don't know why people would want to be naked all the time.

    Awesome if the women are stunning etc etc. Which seems to be what people think of when they think of ''naked all the time''

    But, seeing your parents,auntys,uncles,cousins,nephews etc naked? No thanks.

    For e.g you have a kid and hes going through puberty getting the random erections etc and hes walking down a street?

    Maybe it's just me but I don't want to see 14,15 year olds walking down the street having a hardon.

    Or seeing children naked for that matter.

    The reason its not a law to be naked all the time is possible because it's the most stupidiest thing I ever heard. Unless the world was full of beautiful womens, then it's ok

    Eh no we wouldnt. The rates would be identical IMHO. People would just fetishise something else. EG Some south american indian women only wear a thin cord belt but are otherwise "naked" to us. You can see everything. Yet if one of those women removes the belt, in her culture then she becomes naked and sexual.

    As a species we've been wearing clothing a very very long time. At least 60,000 years in the case of stitched clothing and longer than that in the case of draped animal skins. They serve practically as well as socially. The latter even more so. We are not the naked ape. More the clothed ape.

    Fine if you wanna be some sandal wearing sky bather, but beyond that, nope.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
