What counts as nudity?

Purple Mountain

Seeing KKW's latest Instagram post promoting her eyeshadow (see link below), it prompted me to start a thread about something that's been bugging me for a long time.

What constitutes nudity?

Kim is completely topless in this shot (don't all rush to the link at once) save for her fingertips covering her nipples.
If she was photographed entirely bare chested, chances are that her nipples would be blurred out in an edit.
Why is this so?
If a woman is photoed or filmed with 90% or her breasts on display, who decides that the nipples are deemed inappropriate to show but the full bust is OK?
Also take for example a photo or a film clip of someone pulling a mooner of their buttocks. Again, generally we see this obscured in editing but yet say for example in Love Island we see the ladies' butts on display but because there's a wire string bikini (that can't be seen because it's so far up said butts) it's OK not to censor the 90% of ass cheek we can see.
Maybe I'm missing something or not comparing like with like?

I clicked on it before I'd even got that far. The word nudity was enough.

the way some young wans are dressing these days won’t be long before leaves covering their hooch and nipples will be about as dressed as they’ll get.

Nipple = Nudity

But what about the fat of the bosom?

Well that's instagram, and although I don't use it myself, I believe it is used by the likes of porn stars and such who'd have full pussy on show in pics?

So i presume the definition of nudity or what is allowed to be seen depends entirely on the platform that is hosting it.

Kim Kardashian is an attention seeker though, like many who have come before her, and is using her tits to get attention. She's just the new Jordan (except i think Jordan looked better.. especially at her biggest :P haha)

Truth be told, in the OP I saw KKV as getting naked on Instagram in the first line, I thought to myself, what's an upstanding member of Boards.ie doing going away getting naked on Instagram for?

Until I clicked on it and saw that degenerate!

fergus1001

unless she's flashing the gash it ain't nudity

McMurphy

Can you see boobs and muff? = nudity.

Simple.

Tits. Page 3 unacceptable but tits out to feed a crotch goblin? God help you if you think it should be done in private!

Double standards!

I don't do tits as I am gay so don't give a ****.

Well, female nipples = nudity. Men's nipples are generally fine, even when the man has big boobs.




But yet here's a Miss Knightly who has smaller boobs than Jack and yet her nipples have to be censored.




Humans.

At least she's not showing her ar$e..state of it..

hehe - for few seconds I got confused: was Keira playing in a new season of Humans I didn't see yet ?!?

PS: when wearing the black lace gloves, doesn't feel like I am nude

Nude means wearing no clothes, so if wearing gloves, not nude.

If you mean indecent, though, that is a cultural construct: it varies from place to place, and at different times.
In many countries, neither men nor women could go topless in the street.
On the beach would have a different protocol, of course.

In almost all cultures, though, bare genitalia is considered very private and not for exposure to general view. I don't know why this is but it's damn near universal.
Nipples, by the way, are not genitalia: they are for feeding babies. Men's are useless.

Are bottoms genitalia? Discuss!

The photo you link to falls under the category of implied nudity. Yes, the model is nude but the essentially private parts are overed by objects other than clothing.

For some reason, society has secided that female nipples, and the pubic areas and gluteal crevices (bumcracks to you and me) are generally speaking potentially offensive and should therefore be covered in public.

My wife was complaining about me walking about in the nude in front of the mother in law recently, I said to her "Jaysus ffs, I wasn't nude !!! - I was wearing me socks!"

AH now

But yea it has always baffled me too why the entire breast is not nudity but the nipple itself somehow is. And why some people get so amazingly worked up and offended by public breast feeding - but are absolutely constitutionality unable to explain a single reason as to why it is a problem. Usually falling back on some weird "well I just dont want children seeing it" cop out.

Quite correct.

Now all that remains to be established on the thread is who society is.

And also.. why a woman can be seen in a bikini in public and not a bra and knickers!

The entirety of that girls family and hangers on should be blurred from the media.

Doing a sex tape should not be rewarded with millions and young kids looking up to you.

Ooh I love a nice bit of ankle, I do.
