Taco, you need to invest in a pop-up block, man.

Interesting article

I think this is an excellent idea. Teaching healthy attitudes towards nudity during the teen years is a wonderful way to help instill a more natural view of the human body... not to mention a greater degree of self-confidence if somebody does not have a body deemed attractive by conventional perceptions. It woud be interesting to study this over time and compare the rate of eating disorders within such a community to their incidence within the more "mainstream" population.

However DW, it's easy to see why right wing 'moralists' would have a problem with this. Teenagers + nakedness = sex.

well, that's a fairly logical supposition, but frankly, it happens without nakedness involved.

I also see problems in the concept of body image. I don't think that the lack of clothing would have anything to do with reducing problems related to self confidence. If anything, I think they would increase as those teens could not use clothing to cover up their less than perfect areas.

ie) the guy with the six pack vs the slightly tubby guy.

I certainly agree with becoming comfortable around sexuality.

Out of curiousity though, wouldn't it be.. umm.. embarassing for 12 - 15 year old boys with raging hormones when they see pretty girls in the buff playing sports? Problems could pop up
