Cinders picked only at specific areas e.g. a nude beach :
In Seattle, the law is:

"If no one is offended, you can wear (or not wear) whatever you want."

Which means you can walk down the street naked, so long as no one gets offended by it.

now before anyone goes reporting me, the images were used specifically to make a point

the lady on the no option, isn't exactly dressed and yet that is legal...does this make this a slightly biased pick? yes but would someone has of complained if i had made that point in the images section? yes

Well, they meant specifically nudity. Around here, nudity is sort of like the "don't ask don't tell" army policy for gays. "Don't offend, don't get arrested" is how it goes instead, though.

As for my choice-- I understand that a bunch of people are uncomfortable with nudity. Similarly, nudists are uncomfortable with clothes. Which is why I think there is a time and place for everything.

Every year, Seattle has the Fremont Street Fair and the nude bicyclist's parade. As a woman, I personally think it would be rather uncomfortable to ride a bike nude, but they do it. They paint their bodies completely, though. So they're nude, but painted, bicyclists.

This year, there was even a girl who was watching who was topless and in cut offs. She had painted her chest, but I mean everything was clearly visible, just a different color. She climbed into a tree to watch the parade, and she looked like a bird. I wanted to take a picture so badly, but I didn't have my camera!

I love the idea of public nudity. As long as we are spared the sight of an obese fifty year old strolling butt naked down the street.

Otherwise, all for it. Heck I'd go nude to support it.

Visitor picked only at specific areas e.g. a nude beach :
I think a great many people would be very uncomfortable if public nudity would always be ok... so that's why I went with this pick.

Then again, this pick seems to indicate I support nudity only in places that are designed for it (nude beach, nudist campings, etc.)...

Like Cinders has extensively (thank you :) great photo's) showed us: nude in the street can be a lot of fun for everyone involved. Those are the same streets people walk to get to work on any other day of the week.

I agree that nudity is ok in any place, at any time... just let people know what to expect.

No thank you. I do not want to see other peoples privates especially saggy ones since a lot of old women already clearly don't wear bras any more.

Also for the option "it should be legal for women to be topless". Sure it's okay if it's for breast feeding but come on...women with extremely low cut tops are called sluts already, you really think them topless (which they would love to do in a second) is going to help society? there are people out there that would beat those sort of girls up for going near their boyfriends, etc.

The double standard ticks me off is all. Breasts are NOT genitalia and the myth that they are is perpetrated by making it illegal for women to be topless but not men.

oh and for the record, I have no problem with nude beaches.

Harpyr, to me, it's the other way around. I agree with you that the double standard on being topless should be corrected. But since clearly more people would take offense to women walking around topless than they do to men who do the same... I think women shouldn't be aloud to walk around topless. I DO think that if you look at it that way, it should be equally forbidden for men to walk around without their shirts on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's it legal for women to be topless in many European countries?

Yet you don't see bunches of women going shirtless on a daily basis. It's not like suddenly overnight we'd be seeing topless women walking down Main St. It would just make very clear that no one has any right to harass a mother for feeding her child when and where she sees fit.

And there's no way men would ever make it illegal for guys to go shirtless. That bill would be laughed out of the chambers.

yup over here in Europe many places it is legal for women to go topless

i have been to many and well they're pretty much like where it's not legal except they don't have tan lines lol they're not sat topless in restaurants just like the men aren't sat topless in restaurants

allowing women to go topless would not mean we would loose our brains as soon as we take the tops off

i completely agree with you on the breast feeding thing, anyone who says anything against breast feeding in public....i just can not argue with them, they're not worth the time because they clearly have no sense lol

They recently made it legal in Ontario (the province where I live) for women to go topless if they choose. I've never seen anyone go topless, though. Nothing's really changed except it's easier for breastfeeding mothers, because they no longer have to go hide in bathrooms or whatever to feed their kids.

Honestly, though, who would want to go topless with pubescent boys and pervy old men staring at you everywhere you go?

Thank you all for defending why women should be alowed to go topless as men are.

I've changed my opinion (and I'm quite stubborn so you guys did a great job of defending your point) :)

I think that nude beaches and breast feeding should be allowed nudity. Very few things are as natural as a mother feeding her child.

Yes, I can see how being naked is nice and warm compared to wearing a shirt that isn't warm enough. And yes, shoes are way more uncomfortable than walking around barefoot and stepping in gum all the time. And tight pants are offcourse the only type of pants so if they're uncomfortable, running around naked is the only other option.

No offense...

I cannot believe the Fanpop 4 supported the report on those pictures.

Those are things you can see on any public beach in Sweden.

Some people need to get a fucking clue.

It's like oh shit! Kids might get comfortable with their bodies! Stop it! Stop it now!

Like they do in Zootopia. The movie features an area pacifically made for people to go nude around others. I personally wouldn't go anywhere near a nude resort/beach or go in places where being nude around others is OK (locker rooms/public baths etc), but I know that other people may be OK with this. So they should have a specific place for that.

I agree that people should stop sexualizing it, like they should stop sexualizing a lot of things. My thing is: Even if they made it legal (in a specific area), I still wouldn’t participate in that.

I’d honestly rather just be nude by myself, in the comfort of my room lol

All of us are born naked as well; as all of the life that exists. it is up to us how we interact with that life. Fear giving devils' want to make laws. We need to be concerned with Jesus who determines who is safe to have in his kingdom, and who is not safe to have in his kingdom. That makes people to fly right as they say. Final reward is not life - life. Nude does not always mean sex. The furry characters in that area are treated as if they have leprosery. . That is why it is called nudist colony.. Great peace have they that love my law and nothing shall offend them. They that are offended want to break love works no ill to your neighbour, working ill to they that are nude. Artie Whitefox
