>Isn't it interesting that skinny dipping for children and adult males used to be normal at places like the YMCA
Notice how you specify adult males. Nudity among adult males isn't sexual because most adults males don't experience inherent attraction to each other. That doesn't mean that nudity was normalized back then. Nudity among adult males is still very much normal and non-sexual. That hasn't changed. We still get naked in front of each other in locker rooms and showers.
If anything we're more culturally comfortable with nudity. It's even legal for women to go topless in many states.
>Facebook now bans mothers who put up photos of them breastfeeding their kids
This is such a stupid comparison to make. The internet is filled with perverts that will sexualize a child breastfeeding, and the child can not consent to that exposure. It makes perfect sense for videos of breastfeeding to be banned regardless of whether or not you personally consider them sexual in nature. It's about basic ethics.
>Not really true, most white people live in climates where you can be naked without being uncomfortable, but obviously people living in those areas where it is too cold can practice naturism outdoors
Whether or not you can get away with being naked here and now is irrelevant. The point being made was that there is nothing natural about being naked all the time. There is no aspect of european culture, or really any culture in the northern hemisphere, where nudity was ever a consistent part of the culture. Clothes have been a vital aspect of the majority of the words ability to survive as well as our basic culture for long enough to be considered more natural than nudity itself.
Without clothes we would all be fucking dead.
>But naturists are pretty normal people basically, if you ever go along to a nude beach you'll see a good mixture of families, hippies, conservatives, progressives, religious, atheists, young, old... it isn't really something connected to one's personality or lifestyle, apart from having an attitude that nudity isn't something shameful or evil or wrong
I would assume most people at nude beaches are there for a novelty and don't subscribe to something nudism ideals. I don't think nudity is evil or wrong. I just think pretending that public nudity isn't inherently sexual is fucking stupid.
