It’s is more than interesting to see the way we as Americans view nudity. In other countries, particularly Europe, naked people are not viewed as “disgusting” or “immoral” objects. It’s funny because wee were all born naked, but, I suppose we were told when we were young, nudity is “bad” or “embarassing”. I hope this class will show anyone who feels that way that this is wrong. Nudity can be a beautiful thing. Now porn on the other hand, can be immoral, if it involes animals or children. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve viewed more than my share of porn, not any of the aforementioned, but it also serves a purpose in society. Hey at $13 billion a year, and I’m sure growing, they must be doing something right.

I also saw alot of European men wearing tight speedos(though not exciting to me, it is a valid observation). The nakedness startled me at first becasue I wasn’t expecting this. The very same day, I went to visit my friend down the strip at another hotel, which happened to be a hotel that was mainly American tourists. His pool area was just as any American would “expect” it to be. Fully clothed people, wearing regular bathing suits. It was apparent to me that Americans were uptight about their bodies, for no apparent reason. […]
