It’s impossible to ignore things like this; to get things straight, I was born in the US; I haven’t lived there for many years, but I’m still an American – I suppose I’m allowed to comment (?)
Once, on a trip home, I was looking at the TV, there was a show on about some beach somewhere, but it was all blurry. I honestly thought there was something wrong with my eyes, but had been censored! (…in a place that prides itself in being a “free” country) It seemed, through the blur, that the women were topless. I found that astonishing, since TV nowhere in the civilised world is censored to that degree. OK no big deal.
Immediately afterward, there was a show, a police-type drama, which clearly showed a human being that had been skinned. Although that was years ago, it still causes me amazement that there could be a culture that considers it somehow normal for people to be skinned, but has a problem with the human female breast.
I spend at least twice a week in a socially nudist environment; often with my co-workers (male and female) – we jokingly call those times our board meetings. It’s astonishing that anyone could have such an exaggerated problem with the human penis (possessed by about 3 billion of that person’s earthly co-habitants) as to foment such protest – might one consider extreme sexual frustration? I even asked a female co-worked about this post, she looked at me as if I was totally daft.
The oddity in all of this is that if the same bearer of the horrible penis was visually depicted on TV being skinned, it would probably not be a problem, as long as the camera didn’t stray below the navel. Am I the only one to sense a degree of perversity that defies definition here?
