Online media are only referring to harmful content to try to protect themselves. In “Western” cultures, originally, a lot of it has to do with the influence of Christianity and its attitude toward sexuality and nudity. Not to single out Christians, the reason why people tend to be more covered up in the Middle East (you don’t find many nudist beaches there) is due to Muslim culture. Basically, society is influenced greatly by religion. In the far East, for instance, communal bathing is common.
But the strange and worrying thing is that we gradually seem to be regressing in some ways from say the 1970s and it seems to be mainly to do with increased authoritarianism than people becoming more offended.
There are patterns of social norms that have strong affects. You will see topless women on pretty much all beaches around Europe. So why is it so rare to see it on UK beaches (where there are certainly no laws against being topless). I think it’s simply because it’s not the norm!
::I should have sent an email with them as jpg attachments. I think putting them inline in the message caused the problem.
::Thanks for putting my photos up. I think you might have missed out on some like:
At home
Clothes shop/department fitting room
Leisure centre, gym or pool changing rooms
Outside your housewhich I did send included in the body of the first email.
::I’ve been to a couple of Naked Bike rides. There is little to describe about what’s involved. You don’t have to sign up or anything. You just turn up at the starting point which is normally in a city park. Take off your clothes and put them in a rucksack and cycle round town. The only bizarre thing is simply taking your clothes of in a city park which will most likely have gathered the attention of many other clothed people who for some reason take their phones out and start taking photos!
