I could get a bit engrossed in this for a while.
There are two or three issues that are sort of off shoots of all of this that I haven't talked about yet. One is nude beaches and what it means to have a legal nude beach as opposed to an unofficial nude beach. Also, what protections naturists have in general. Also, what is meant by "public" and how does that relate to voyeurism, especially when it comes to the taking of photos.
