OMG i saw nipple!

so I was looking at a foreign fashion magazine and it had nudity (female top nudity) and at first I was kinda shocked but then I was thinking I shouldnt really be. Its American culture though that has kinda taught us as americans that any nudity is pornography and in Europeaun society, its not this way. Whats so horrible about the naked body? Is the naked human form ugly? A friend of mine told me of a discussion he had with an online brittish friend about how American people got all up in arms about janet jackson and her nipple being exposed at the super bowl and the brittish guy was like "it was just a nipple."



"We see nipple on tv everyday". In Europe, they have nudity, sex even on primetime tv, with like a disclaimer for parents of course but thats all and its left up to the individual. Why should we be ashamed of the naked body? of the female breast? I mean female breast are beautiful (thats coming from a gay man). Think about it, they are source of nutrition to to the baby and whats more beautiful than motherhood. I believe the naked body is something beautiful and to be embraced not something to be ashamed of,censored or schocked by.
