After watching My Naked Teenage Daughter on Channel 4, last night, I was in a lot of agreement with the naked people and discovered I might even be a naturist myself – and I didn’t even realise it!
Don’t get the wrong idea, it is very rare that Mr TP and I host naked cake cooking and tea drinking sessions and I would not dream of doing nude sun-bathing but I am quite happy in my skin and will often go naked about my house – when appropriate.
There was a discussion about a young child seeing naked adults and I was very much in agreement with the comments that children should be bought up to think of the naked body as normal – not something to be embarrassed about.
A few other points were made on the programme:
Does naked = sexy. Quite obviously it can do, but people often look more sexy with clothes on. That seems obvious to me.
Should we be concerned about PERVERTS looking at naked naturists in a sexual way? I don’t think so. I think most of us (me included) look at other people in a sexual way at times – if we find them attractive. And most often that is when they have got clothes on.
If “perverts” want to look at naked people there is plenty of places for them to satisfy their desires – our media and the net is full of nudity.
One more thought. If only I had met a local photographer of naked women when I was younger, slimmer and so on, with the benefit of hindsight, I would recommend seizing the opportunity to capture images of naked beauty.
You’re never too old to pose nude! Always looking for brave volunteers. ; )
I agree with you though, many people are naturists but don’t realise it.
