DEBATE: Is this porn?

I used to think that things that turn people on should probably be covered out of decency, but then grew up and realised people are turned on by different things. Besides, I'm sure nobody's turned on by the sight of 50% of the world's ladyparts and manbits.
 
I wouldn't call it porn; since like you said it does not imply any sexual activity. But what do you call it? Kids could still be turned on by it and even fap away at it.

My thoughts on why kids shouldn't see it is they should learn to respect the body. They shouldn't think it's okay to see everyone naked right? And for the girls to show it off?

Just opinions. Btw I'm sick and might have said irrelevant or stupid stuff, forgive me.
 
:shock:

NO! CHILDREN ARE COMPLETELY INNOCENT! :angel: THEY DO NOT PLAY DOCTOR AND THEY MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT TOUCH THEMSELVES IN THE WOMB!
 
If we assume from a standpoint that naked=bad, where do we draw the line at what naked is? Regardless of whether nudity is a bad thing or not. What is naked? Wearing a g-string? Covered in smarties? No burka?
 
Naked isn't bad; well if you were exposed to all nudity at a young age, how do you think your childhood would have been? I'm not saying EVERYONE will have problems. I myself am a nudist, I think nudity is beautiful as long as it's not sexual.

Kids are curious. They see something in a picture, they wanna see it for real. Say if some girl does let some boy see her naked. What if instincts kick in?
 
It's mostly about modesty, I think. You have to go with the assumption that the majority of people don't want to see your naked body. We wear clothes out of respect and good taste.

Female breasts/male genitals have evolved in sync with human instinct in a way so that when we see them, we become sexually aroused. There is a reason for this, because when we see a naked person, our instincts are supposed to kick in and we want to get it on. Having a society where people are constantly sexually aroused will not be very beneficial! And then, of course, there's the possibility that constantly seeing breasts/penises will desensitize ourselves to the think when they're not even sexy anymore. :I

Point being, there are probably a lot less people out there than you think that want to see your breasts or penis or whatever. Letting kids see naked people gives them the impression that naked = okay. I mean, in the proper context, of course. Kids seeing their parents naked shouldn't be a bad thing, or seeing diagrams in a biology textbook or something. But pornography isn't something you suddenly want to become mainstream. If little boys are looking at naked women in suggestive positions, suddenly they're thinking it's okay to become perverts. We shouldn't stigmatize nudity, but we should introduce kids to it in a responsible and mature way. (that's not tossing them a kid playboy when they're 10)
 
Ah, but at the same time not everybody wants to see your clothes. [/devilsadvocateforthesakeofdebate] Indeed not everybody wants to see your face, your arms, your legs; not everybody wants to see you out of the house. Not everybody wants to see you eat or drink (equally considerable as disgusting) and not everybody wants to be next to black people (bringing in racism because debates always lead to raccism :p). Or something to that extent, it's 9am.

Yeah, I don't know how anybody in their right mind would let their kid look at this. @_@
well i wouldn't yell at them for it or anything and it depends on how old they are
I mean if your kid's like 14 he/she has probably already seen porn or some shit and if they are 16+ they probably already had sex so idk
if my nonexistant son would look at that pic i would be like "wtf?" but that's it lol

also what's perverted really, sexual perversion includes shit like necrophilia, exhibtionism, sadism etc. (correct me if I am wrong but i am pretty sure of that)
so i doubt looking at naked women would make a kid "perverted"
 
A guy who stares at a woman's chest after they have just met would be considered "perverted", thus her calling him a pervert.

I'm also just a little curious as to why this is coming up. I guess it's directed at Amy. Is it you want to put a pair of pixelated bouncing breasts into your game but keep it at a proclaimed "E" rating?

I don't know about you, but Nudism would have been better if we all stayed nude from the beginning. Dunno how you guys believe but something in our history made us feel naked. (Not going to get into religious debate)

Now that we do feel naked, imagine if you were a daddy, and your little girl or boy didn't see you or their mom walk around naked. So they are innocent to the opposite genders gentials. And lets say Bob and Bobella were nudist across the street. You'd be having the Talk at a much sooner age. On top of that If everyone was naked all the time just like Devy said, Nobody would get aroused by it.

that shit has nothing to do with religion lol clothing was invented to rise the human's tolerance to temperature!
because we are so used to wearing clothes this "social stigma" evolved which says that nude = bad

Something made us feel naked? The weather made us feel naked? I wasn't informed that you were so old that you actually know the reason to why we wear clothes in the first place.

There has been a documented case of a person who was literally left in the wild as a little kid, never learned to talk, and survived on his own. He had an astoundingly high tolerance to variations in temperature, going to far as to lie down in snow with no issues whatsoever. So this is probably not the whole picture, seeing as it seems more like clothes acclimate us to fewer variations in temperature rather than allowing us to live in greater variations in temperature.
