I've just always wondered people's opinions about this. Is artistic nudity (i.e. not involving sexual acts) cool, or do you think public nudity is wrong altogether?

Artistic nudity in public? I'd have to have an example (without pictures, of course). ha. Though I think people should generally be a bit more laid back about such things.

the word 'artistic" is just something to disguise the fact it's otherwise knows as soft porn


Either way it doesn't bother me in the slightest.If people want to rip their clothes off,good on them.

here is another recent thread on the subject,there are some answers in there as well if you want to have a look although it's more about general public nudity rather than artistic

Ha ha you rock!

But I think it really depends on what they are trying to express and the way they actually do it. Like I thought it was cool what John Lennon did with Yoko. I got what he was trying to express.

Nudity does not bother me. I think it is a strange taboo. My parents (grudgingly) see me naked pretty much all the time, most of my best friends have seen me naked, in fact, many of my brother's friends have seen me naked.

Nudity does not have to be sexual.

I think this is the point which is so simple yet eludes so many people

Whew. I was hoping that was Seinfeld. Laughing

Bad Naked should be a band name.

Hmm... I'm only referring to artistic nudity (obvious example: Michelangelo's David) as "public" because a lot of people tend to see it. Because, I mean... everyone's naked every once in a while in private (I should hope).

Another good band/album name:
Needs Some Pants.
