Clothing Style/Amount Should Be Up to The Individual and Not Enforced by Law

In regards to: "I believe that relationships are more reliable and more stable if built on friendship and mutual interest" I completely agree with this, emotional bonds are a much better glue for a relationship than sexual attractions. However, just because everyone can be nude and show off their bodies doesn't mean that relationships would only be built on sex. The point of having no bounds on revealing clothing is to show that sex is just a natural thing, not that sex is the most important thing. It's to get everyone comfortable with there bodies and not feel ashamed of being what ever size and shape they happen to be. Why do you feel nudity would bring about more promiscuous behavior? Yes I agree that it may make sex a more occurrent topic, but what sets us apart from most animals is our ability to understand and grow from stimulation and experiences. I believe nudity would simply make us more open about the topic of sex, I do not believe that It would necessarily make us feel sex is what should determine a relationship. Yes there would be relationships built on sex but that happens already in today's world. I don't see why it's amount of occurrence would change with increased nudity, people would still come to realize emotional bonding is more important. It is in our instincts, before the time of "proper clothing" men and women still formed bonds above sexual attraction, that is why we value it so much today because we grew from generations of generations who felt that way, and each having their own level of acceptable nudity. In regards to: "I think that there is something special about having things that are reserved only for the eyes of a loving partner" I agree with this. There is no denying that saving something you feel is special for that one person can make bonding between two people stronger. That is why I would never wish for forced nudity, it should be up to the person to expose what they want and hide what they want (without threatening security). My argument is only if nudity was allowed and people could be as revealing as they wanted ,without worry of shaming or prosecution, we would get out of the mindset that being open about our sexuality is a bad thing, and we could all be a bit more mature minded citizen's. In regards to: "However arguably being self conscious about your body shape is a very healthy thing" I think this is a grey area topic. Yes it is important to wish to have a healthier body not only does it promote overall fitness and good diet, but it prevents our genetics from getting accustomed to our unhealthy ways and evolving us into a more naturally unhealthy species. However on the other hand we shouldn't be ashamed that we are naturally born a cretin way. I once knew a beautiful girl who went to my old school, but everyone found out she was born with male genitals and she was shunned and humiliated daily by immature minded peers. I believe having a better acceptance of nudity will bring with it more acceptance of different people. In a world of unshamed exposure, people with unhealthy bodies would still be self-conscious of the more "attractive" people, and at the same time I feel it would allow everyone to see and accept the differences in people. Closing remarks: Sexuality is a hot topic in America. Thousands of sexual violence cases are reported each year and yet little has been done about teaching respectful behavior towards sex. They have created sex ed classes, sure, but do they teach that sex is a natural thing to be treated with respect, no. They teach that sex brings with it horrible things, babies, diseases, and broken dreams. We need to start changing how we view sexuality in America. Our current system only brings us shaming, sexual suppression, and unwarranted fear. Should a young adult be made aware of disease and pregnancy, of course, but they should also understand that the feelings they have are not a thing of shame. I believe getting rid of restrictions on nudity and sexual exposure is one step we can take to making a more open minded America. I would like to point out a paragraph taken from a study done by the Department of Psychology, from the University of Central Florida on the correlations between acceptance of diversity and acceptance of nudity. (Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...) "Results indicated that pro-nudity students significantly differed from anti-nudity students on comfort with their bodies' appearances, but not on self-acceptance. Pro-nudity students also were significantly more accepting of other religious groups and gays and lesbians compared with anti-nudity students, but they did not differ on their attitudes toward the disabled. A trend was noted indicating that pro-nudity students were less prejudiced toward ethnically dissimilar people compared with anti-nudity students." Although this is just one study it brings to light that there may be a strong link between acceptance and openness of sexuality (or nudity as described in this study) and openness to differences in culture and sexual orientation. If we do not accept at least the thinking that sexual suppression could be giving rise to some of the prejudice in America then we may be robbing ourselves an opportunity to grow as a nation.
