Overall we arent all that purdish.
- Fnoord 8y agoBefore smartphones, being naked on a beach is a social contract where you see each other naked at the price of being naked yourself. The ability to make pictures murks that social contract; it allows to "cheat". > Overall we arent all that purdish. Not everyone in the USA is, but do you remember the drama about Janet Jackson's nipple? Or how protective ratings in games and movies/series are regarding anything related to sex, yet violence seems totally OK? That's the double standard of the USA. It doesn't have to be this way. Before the innovation of smartphones with high quality cameras young children, here, used to be just naked on beach. It also used to be very normal to breastfeed in public. But there are various possible factors as the article describes. Since as you need to lock your smartphone up (not allowed to take with you) this doesn't explain why saunas are now more prudent.
