[QUOTE=deltasquid;19646430]Well, just imagine. you're talking to some friends, drinking a cup of tea at the local coffee shop. Everything's going fine, until suddenly some big, fat monster of a man comes in, hair hanging everywhere, flapping his dick around as he tries to get to the front and order his pastry. is that good? HUH? IS IT?[/QUOTE] It would be commonplace and less disgusting after awhile, you're all going with the "it happens instantly right now" scenario, where as it would have to happen gradually, seeing shit like that wouldn't be the giant turn offs, seeing people with colostomy bags or something will be.
it would be awesome to go to the local shop without putting on any clothes, just to buy soda
I don't really like the way society has turned out. I agree with OP. People would concentrate more on what actually matters (mental expansion) rather than superficial shit like looks and materials. [QUOTE=Canuhearme?;19648053]OP is a 17 year old who wants to see the hot girls in class naked.[/QUOTE] No, he's actually intelligent.
I would get a boner and be embarrassed
What if someone else had a bigger penis than me?
Even if it became somehow acceptable, how the fuck are you going to be protected by the elements, pointy objects, heat, cold, snow, rain. Furthermore, how are you going to carry your cell phone, wallet, keys, and any other crap you have in your pocket? [editline]04:37PM[/editline] Also, OP firmly believes that being naked would create world peace.
[QUOTE=:smug:;19649141]What if someone else had a bigger penis than me?[/QUOTE] What if [i]everyone[/i] else had a bigger penis than you? oh wait they do Also most people in this thread are discussing situations that would only be a problem if you were forced to go nude, if it was a choice then half the shit in this thread wouldn't be a reality.
Some people just shouldn't be naked for good reason...

Nice thread, Postal's ass was a nice touch.

Millions of couples would be seperated within twenty four hours, with a scenario following this: *man sees woman, gets boner* *girlfriend/wife of man sees boner, gets mad* *INSTANT SEPARATION* I'm all for nudism, and I go naked as often as I can, but I just don't think we're ready for it yet.
Knowledge is the only thing holding people back from going nude all of the time.
It's legal for women to be topless in public here and that's good enough for me. You appreciate it when you see a game of topless softball with fairly attractive women. Never seen so many old Italian guys watch a game of softball before.
Thinking nudity is the worst thing a child can see is just stupid. I while ago me and my step brother were watching various horror and action movies, with tons of gore and dismemberment etc. My little brother and sister were also watching even after we told my step-mum that they shouldn't be allowed to watch and they might get scared, but of course she didn't care. Then the second a pair of tits show up (For about 5 seconds and then none were ever seen again for the rest of the movie) She flips out and tells us to turn the movie off because there are children around. Christ, they've probably seen breasts before.
Op, you really haven't thought of this through. Everyone naked = Free porn everywhere. Therefore the internet goes to hell. ....and banning clothes? are you dumb? [B]First[/B]: unless you live in the jungle you need clothes. Even in the sahara desert you need clothes to protect you from sunburn. [B]Second[/B]: This discussion started when being naked in public was banned. Banning clothes is doing the same mistake all over again.
I disagree. Clothes are a social standard. Clothes denote human beings as an enlightened, civilized species, a notion that dates all the way back to the creation of the Bible. Besides practicality, clothing is a status symbol that expresses everything about you, not unlike stripes on a tiger or a bee. Nudity in public is discouraged because a nude person, in the real world, often symbolizes depravity and mental illness. Sex is a taboo subject for this very reason. You can't tell me two sweaty figures moaning and groaning, pawing and petting on a bed is not animalistic.
Most people wouldnt get a boner, due to cold/possible embarrasment/and being used to seing a bunch of people naked.
To everyone flipping out about naked fat and old people: It wouldn't be so horrible if you've seen them your entire life, would it? This doesn't mean I wouldn't care about seeing them. :gonk:
I agree, being nude shouldn't be a big deal at all, it's just how our culture formed. Rules of that aren't all of a sudden going to change, although they could over time if nudism becomes really popular.
[QUOTE=Wolf_Marine;19647927]Tell you what You and I will go through one of the swamps around here in the middle of the summer. You go nude, I'll go in usual swamp-exploring gear. We'll see who's sick from bug bites at the end of the trip.[/QUOTE] If a nudist went on an antarctic expedition, would he go naked?

Sex shouldn't be taboo however - we're one of the few species who have sex for pleasure rather than just to reproduce - the fact we can control ourselves to prevent actually spawning more of ourselves is a pretty good reflection of our intellect as a species. Hell, our sex lives are riddled with new-age contraception with all this science behind it - if that isn't a reflection of how far we've come as a species, I don't know what is. Nudity only symbolizes depravity because we wear clothes, my point is, if we didn't, it wouldn't. Like you said, it's been a social standard since the creation of the Bible, because it got set in stone that we HAD to wear clothes... not because it was immoral not to, but because in Jewish Law, it said to wear clothes to protect yourself (a lot of Jewish Law, which the commandments and stuff're based around, is related to protection of people). At the time the world was ran by badass tyrants for centuries, and there was a pretty mean social heirarchy going on, hence why the richest wore the best clothes and the poorest had nothing. Getting rid of clothes would get rid of that vain symbolism - seperate someone from their clothes and their wealth, and you'll see who they really are, á la Emperor's New Clothes.
I wouldn't be naked all the time. Mostly because I live in Finland and my balls would freeze off but meh.
Changing in the locker room is as close to public nudity as I want to get thank you.
OP : Go to a nudist beach. Or a nudist camp. unfortunately the world has been brainwashed that their body is something so bad that you can be arrested for showing it.
If it weren't a social taboo then nudity wouldn't be hot anymore, just like in parts of Africa. The women wear no shirts and nobody gives a damn.
I'd be happy to be naked.
[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;19646295]I like my clothes. My trilby, my greatcoat, my shoes and my leather gloves. It's a me.[/QUOTE] Seriously? A trilby and a greatcoat? The only guy I knew who dressed like that was about as deep as the shallow end of the kiddy pool.
If I wore clothes when everyone else was naked it would make people curious. and they'd want to see what was under it.
