@MetalGreymon No good reason why they shouldn't be allowed to. I'm in favor of public nudity for everyone any time any place.

But breasts are considered a sexual part of the body. Should children be exposed to that?
TheProphet · M
@MetalGreymon Yes they should. If they are taught that the human body is natural and beautiful at an early age then they would learn not to sexualize each other when they grow up.

I guess that's true. I suppose that's where nudists fall on the issue. Even genitals are ok to be on display. An adult to a child or child to an adult.

@MetalGreymon Genitals are fine. It's people who make them perverted.

....yes but people are what we're talking about.
You can say that it's fine but the fact is that people DO make body parts sexual. Everywhere. Even in cultures where the breasts are no big deal, it can be considered whorish to show one's thighs.

So given out culture, is it ok for a woman to be displaying a sexual part of her body in public?
TheProphet · M
@MetalGreymon Yes I think it is ok.

@MetalGreymon Should children be exposed to breasts? Of course they should. How else can they feed? Plus as they get older, they will see breasts as not such a big deal.

Well babies need them to feed. But there is a certain point at which breast feeding is downright creepy so clearly there is a cutoff point at which it is generally acceptable for a child to be face to face with tatas. Not to mention there's a bit of a difference between the mother/child relationship and a child/stranger relationship.
