Naked

All of this naked stuff makes me uncomfortable. I mean, if God wanted us to be naked, we wouldn’t be born fully dressed. Eve took her clothes off, and unto therefore God hath punished humanity. I don’t have the exact quote and verse; however, I know this true story can be found in the Old Testicle’s Book of Genocide. (No pictures, though.)

A lot of this can be traced back to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. They posed naked on the album “Two Virgins.” Two direct results happened: the other Beatles were so ashamed that they quit the group; and Jim Morrison, reportedly after being “tabbed” with a hit of marijuana, exposed himself on stage in Miami. No Pat Boone, he.

This led to Abbie Hoffman threatening to lead a “Love In” featuring thousands of naked hippies, at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Luckily, Mayor Daley had a cool head, and was able to direct the police to maintain a peaceful, well-dressed atmosphere.

Things drifted downhill when, on their “Sometime in NYC” double album, John and Yoko put a picture of President Nixon and Chairman Mao dancing naked on the cover. While I’m unsure if these leaders even knew someone was photographing them, I am pretty convinced they did not intend for this to be placed on a record cover.

Equally worse, years later, the contamination from John and Yoko infected Paul and Ringo. They allowed a re-release of the Beatles’ “Let It Be” album to be titles “Let It Be Naked.” (No naked pictures, though.)

There’s something un-natural about nudity. It creates an unhealthy attitude about the human body. It leads to the mortal sin of masturbation. Hundreds of young men flush their lives away, due to nudity. It’s been proven to lead directly to smoking and insanity.

My advice: if you see naked people, just try to imagine them fully dressed.

The nudity of the show shocks the conscious so I imagine them clothed

When my imagination fails, I use male and female doll clothes pasted to popsicle sticks and cover the onscreen nudity from my point of view.

If I had thought of that, I could have been watching Dating Naked all this time!

I think you could sell those things, to all the decent people who have been unwillingly sinning simply because they had nothing to cover the bodies with.

the nude beach my wife and I go to , naked of course, there were naked people from toddlers to folks in their 70's. And of both sexes. There were some really good looking men and women and as you imply most of us are not as good looking. There were obese folks and thin folks.
What makes our beach great is that we don't care what you look like.
It isn't a beauty contest. We are there for fun and relaxation.
The beach is small so being a holiday weekend it was crowded. Not much space between towels.
So yes at a nude beach most folks are not well built but that isn't important to us.

I'm all for getting nekkid at the beach. I've probably seen you naked. I'm just glad people don't do it elsewhere. It didn't work out so well for San Francisco.

The Two Virgins album was released in November 1968 and Paul McCartney wrote a liner note for that album. They also recorded the albums Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be after that.

And George talked about it in the anthology book:

"What I thought of the sleeve then was the same as I think now: it's just two not very nice looking bodies, two flabby bodies naked. It's harmless really, different strokes for different folks."

So we can all be naked together in heaven. Can't wait to see some people's reactions.

If naked is good enough for heaven, it should be good enough for us here too.

Oh, and I love the Old Testicles book of Genocide. That's a keeper.

"alert" on a couple of my attempts at humor/satire. They thought I was serious. (In fact, one friend apparently took at least part of this seriously, above at #12.)
