Nudist Or Child Porn?

[lovecraft68]

Ain't fundamentalists just wonderful?

I had a related problem when my son was born. I refused to allow circumcision and basically told everybody that the first person to come near my son with a cutting tool would be staring down two 12 gauge barrels. It was long ago - some of the older members of my family are still pissed at me to this day for going against the main stream, but I made a parental decision.






Nah, I was probably 8 on the most recent. We weren't nudists, but we lived right next to the ocean and we young kids rarely bothered with bathing suits.

But you're right of course - there's a big difference between 8 and 12.






I agree, but calling it "child pornography" is a huge step backwards. That law was made in order to punish people who knowingly exploit children for sexual gratification or financial gain and comes with a serious set of life-altering consequences. You don't set this kind of machinery in motion because a parent makes a poor decision.

Well its a slippery slope and we're not the ones who have to decide. But I think things are different now with the internet. Years ago pictures were snap shots in an album. Now you e-mail pics to someone they good end up everywhere and what's to say the other people did not send them somewhere.

For my part I find it disturbing and as stated one of these pics was a close up shot of the girls genitals and that one single picture changes the dimension of everything else.

There are many pictures of me as a child in albums by various family members and friends, and I assume this to be true for most people. That's not something that could ever come back to haunt me later in life or damage my career in any way,- even if they were on the internet. In fact, unless my name was printed on the picture nobody would even know that that ten year old boy is me.

I don't think that photos of this generation of children can be compared to previous generations. When our parents took bath time pics with a film camera, they took one shot, maybe two, just to make sure. Maybe they got double prints at the Fotomat, but there weren't any extra copies floating around.

Most parents that I know make sure that the privates are covered by bubbles or something else even in the baby's-first-bath pics.

It's like that meme going around on facebook about the best thing about being in your forties. I did all my stupid shit before the internet. (All of my drunk pics are carefully arranged in photo albums in my mother's basement.) It's a different world now.

I didn't read the article carefully, but I know that you can't be too careful. If you're sending naked pics of your kids on the internet, it's a gamble.

A nudist guy can walk around surrounded by naked women all day without any deviation from normal flaccidity while a non-nudist in a similar situation would have a seriously hard time.

Haha. I see what you did there.

Well, certainly, you can try that argument with a judge if you're pulled in front of one. Another "voter" against reality?

If nobody ever speaks out against established tradition nothing will ever change. Even if you're the sole voice of reason in a sea of madness you should never be discouraged - somebody has to be the first to utter dissent.

Who knows - despite your defeatism maybe I have planted a seed of doubt in your mind that could grow and surface at a later time. Maybe one day you'll wake up with the thought: "Hey! That StrangeLife character kinda had a point."

And you will join the ranks of the wolves...

This is a really good argument and definitely one to take into consideration.

The photos circulating among my family of my 8 year old self depicting my then future wife's favorite plaything was shot on Kodachrome iso 100 back when the Internet was run by the military and Mark Zuckerberg wasn't even a spermatozo yet. Distributing them would incur both cost and some manual labor.

Today your phone can shoot in better quality and upload it to the web automatically. My whangdoodle would have enjoyed instant fame.

Parents of today do need to show more restraint...

Have you ever seen the Coppertone ad featuring the bare bottom of the little girl? Is that child porn?

As a matter of fact that specific image is a very sexy one for a lot of pedophiles, or so I have read.

The cartoon image or the one with Carmen Electra? Neither seems to have the slightest possibility of arousing. I guess I just can't get into other people's heads.

I think ot the cartoon image as being cute but not the least bit arousing. I have never seen the Carmen one, but she is a real hotty and I would expect any straight men to be at least somewhat aroused at it.

ETA: This is not as hot as I expected, but not bad.
