Exactly. Many societies had their children running around naked until
colonized by Christian nutcases teaching shame and body hatred. Pacific Islandss come to mind, now infested with the worst kind of Fundamentalist claptrap.
In countries where the onslaught never changed normality, eg most of Asia, boys
swimming nude is still no big deal.
Child nudity was no big deal in Western European culture either until recently,
but the Inquisition has a short memory for history, changing the definition of what is shameful and pathological to suit the agenda.
And boys do find anything to do with jacking off to be hilarious, and they generally do love running around naked and being photographed in an environment where
that is not treated with shame (ask any nudist who has been around since before
the paranoia set in).
But VV, you are making sensible points to people whose blind spot prevents them
from seeing the truth of what you say. You can point out the blatant contradictions in society's extreme position on these topics, and they just ignore it, as if
you said nothing. The Inquisition have the thousand yard stare of the true fanatic. As I posted a while back, because they want to believe a child is damaged by
merely being photographed, if a child apparently is not then by the time they are
through with "counselling" and "therapy" they certainly will be damaged.
