society has gotten so great that nudity has nearly vanished completely from

these locales traditionally designed to accept nudity. In the doctor's office we

Stay covered up with our clothing or with hospital gowns, simply showing little

patches of our skin when absolutely crucial. Locker rooms, saunas, etc., have

lost the tradition of nudity within them. This isn't even assorted group nudity

we're discussing. Even among our own sex we hide our bodies, either by not

being bare at all, or by changing in a stall, or by keeping a towel carefully

wrapped around ourselves.

Even when we are naked, we

Conceal our bodies in shame. Every minute of every single day.

We swim with clothing on,

Though that's insane. We sleep with clothes on, even though we're tucked

away under a blanket where no one will see us. We even stay dressed in front of

our spouse--our sex partner--who has already seen us naked in the most intimate

of conditions and with whom more than anyone else we need to feel

comfortable being naked. Even in the privacy of our houses we remain dressed. Why?

We do it because body

shame has been so deeply ingrained into our psyche that we can not envision doing

anything else. Nudity under almost all circumstances appears so foreign to us

that we can't see it as anything but a weird aberration, if not a downright

perversion.

But we all have a body.

There are billions and billions of human bodies spread throughout this world.

Within the two sexes, every one of them is the same as every other. All of us understand

what they look like--we all understand what gear they have. What on earth do we

Believe we're hiding from each other?

Actually, we're not

thinking at all when we've got a negative reaction to nudity, whether we see

others nude or others see us naked. It is just an emotional, irrational

reaction, based on a life of deep, extensive emotional conditioning.

Psychological abuse.

Is not it emotional mistreatment

to condition your kids to have feelings of shame and horror just because

someone by chance sees them naked?

Isn't it psychological mistreatment

to condition your kids to feel shock, fear, or disgust at the mere sight of

a body?

Our bodies are ourselves.

When we feel shame, fear, dread over bodies, we are feeling those feelings

about ourselves or about our fellow human beings.

No wonder people have such

a tough time associating to each other. We fear each other at a very fundamental level. We

are all driven by nature or God to take Felicity Reviews Solair Nudist Resort In CT with us wherever we

go! Those awful, shocking, shameful naked bodies! What was God thinking?

How can we possibly

Socialize normally with each other, steeped in approaches like that?

Just what negative

consequences result from shaming kids into wearing clothing, and continuing

that brainwashing process until the day they die?

Children are left in

ignorance. We think it's a fantastic, educational thing to take children to the

zoo. But what do they do at the zoo? Stare at the nude bodies of creatures. This

is considered quite educational. And it is.

Yet children are never

Enabled to stare at the naked bodies of the species that's most significant for

them to learn about. Being youthful and running around naked and free --human beings. It's fantastic for their sake to learn all

about the bodies of lions and tigers and bears, oh my! But never the body of the

species they belong to and will wed. Never the body they live in

throughout their lives.

Children do not get to

fully comprehend and tolerate the differences between the sexes. Lads have

penises, girls have vaginas. This is an undisputed fact of life. But to a boy

who isn't allowed to learn about human bodies, a girl doesn't have a

v****a--she has been castrated of her organ. To a girl, a boy does not have a

Manhood--he has a strange increase where his v****a should be. And these are the

boys and girls fortunate enough to have caught a glimpse of the opposite gender nude.

Then we wonder why there

is so much sexual dysfunction in unions?

Kids don't get to

become comfortable with the process of puberty before it occurs. When their

bodies start shifting, it's a traumatic thing. Why? Because it is natural for

puberty to be traumatic?

Definitely not! It's a

Fully natural part of the human life cycle.

It is traumatic because

They truly are not prepared for it. Is that not mental maltreatment?

They start growing hair

around their pubic region and within their armpits. What's that all about? For

boys, the p***s enlarges (is it diseased?) and hair starts to grow on the face.

For girls, the v****a starts to bleed (am I injured?) and breasts being to

enlarge on their torsos.

How many horror stories

have there been about kids who were completely unprepared for these changes? Is

that not child abuse, to enable kids to enter this span of life unprepared

Only because their parents are embarrassed to talk about it (thanks to their

own emotional brainwashing from their parents)?

But even with children who
