I'm not sure that Japan or some parts of India count as sexually repressed. The Muslim and Sikh bits of India may be, I don't know, but Hindus aren't. I've been in quite a few Hindu temples which have murals depicting gods getting down and dirty with each other or with people. They may have even done it with animals. There was one of Krishna screwing the life out of not one, not two, but eight milkmaids simultaneously, using every appendage, limb and object at his disposal. Go Krishna. And the sheer number of Indians around (everywhere) is evidence that it is one culture that does the bad thing with great gusto.

you have to remember that the artwork in those temples are hundreds of years old. modern day indian society is completely different. in general, modern day indian men are VERY sexually repressed; the entire society is. The kama sutra is one very tiny part of an ancient culture, that has little to no influence on modern day life in india. talk to people who've traveled extensively through india, or lived there, and you'll get a real idea of what the culture is like. every single person i've talked to who has traveled in india has said the same thing; indian men are extremely sexually repressed, and for the most part have the sexual maturity of a horny 15 year old.

One thing I noticed in this thread is the lack of explaining that there is a definitional difference regarding purity, provocativeness and perversion concerning the words nudity (or nude) and naked.

Nudity (or Nude, etc), is usually considered to be when the person or persons are exhibiting for a form of art or self-expression

While being Naked is usually considered to be the perversion to gain provocative thought out of others.

Being naked is usually considered to be the thing in society most people don't want to see is put up usually for shock value. (And quite literally is usually not considered being sexy, although it's the way some show off sexual perversions in society such as pedophilia). And that's why usually in locker rooms or showers you will here the word 'naked' or various ways to describe what a person with no clothes are. And usually it's not considered a form of self-expression but more a form of deviance -- that's why you usually heard the word naked to describe 'streakers' in the 1970's or for persons who in later days participate in organized and sometimes not so organized runs in public places. The state of being naked was also used to describe the legendary Lady Godiva. The word naked is also what is usually termed to describe a person unclothed who is not considered attractive (overweight, etc) and usually is not associated with either the act of sex or being sexy.

Nudity on the other hand is usually considered to be a form of self-expression, especially in terms of art, but in other ways as well. This is what nudist camps or colonies are trying for. (Although many people at nudist camps and colonies would certainly be considered by most in the mainstream of mostly a clothed society, except for the foreplay leading to sex or the sex itself or private masturbation, to be naked instead of nude).

I myself don't see anything wrong with nudity as self-expression or art work (I'm actually in the process of trying to lose weight and buff up for one reason {although not the sole reason} because I'd like to explore either having nude pictures taken of myself and/or doing nearly nude dancing -- and actually for a living -- and yes I'm a male -- and no I'm not ***, although I do have a little bi-curiousity -- but wouldn't want to fulfill any of that curiosity -- maybe occassionally looking at others participating in such is my limit). And yes, I will ogle and drool over pictures of the ladies who have big boobs. But I do agree I really don't want to see all the time the naked people who constantly are exposing what's between their crotches.

Nothing if your not hung up on ethics and morals,

or, everything if your hung up on chastity and shy, depends. What is the nudity for? iIs everyone going to get naked? If so I'm out. I only like attractive nudity,

by the way. So those who resemble me... do like me, be nude under our clothes.

That's right, I'm completely naked right now under my clothes!

How could there possibly be anything wrong with the outfits we were given at birth? I mean I know plenty of people treat their bodies horribly... and they should probably keep their clothes on. But maybe people would respect their bodies more if they weren't so ashamed of them.
