Post by JudgePost by swellerPost by JudgeWhy do you think that children are less able to deal with nudity than
adults?
You're unable, or unwilling, to make a distinction between the issues.
It isn't the nudity that's the problem it's the reinforcing the child's
position in life particularly in the context of /sexuality/
There is a big difference between nudity and sexuality. None of my kids
has a problem with nudity, they can handle that in a responsible manner.
They see naked people and they just think they are people without
clothes. Neither of their mother's nor I was particularly shy around
them and they knew what naked adults looked like from an early age. I
sometimes see my eldest daughter naked and while I can appreciate her
natural beauty and lovely figure, I don't see her as a sexual being. I
didn't want her growing up thinking she is someone else's sexual object
either.
Post by JudgePost by swellerThe child is just that and has no experience, understanding or context to
deal with the subject.
And why is that? It's because the whole issue is hidden from them until
their teens.
As it should be. Children should be left to be children. Adult issues
such as sex and sexuality should be introduced when the child is of an
age where they can handle the responsibilty of their "awakening" in an
adult manner. It's a part of growing up.
The whole question of sex and what it is all about with regard to humans
should be left until the child approaches or reaches puberty. Imo, and
that of the vast majority of parents, no child should have to deal with
it before that. Like Burnt I grew up in a small farming village, we saw
the reality of animal reprodcution all around us, but when it comes to
humans there is a love/emotional issue to deal with too. My exes and I
didn't want our children growing up thinking it was ok to sleep around
like farm animals do. We have a moral responsibilty to our children to
bring them up to accept loving relationships are where sex takes place.
We should never confuse our own sexual preferneces with what is
acceptable for children to learn. As adults our kids can make their own
minds up as to what they like or who they sleep with, but as teenagers
going through puberty when it comes to teaching them about sex we owe it
to them to guide them into loving relationships as being acceptable and
normal. If they want to join a Swinging Club later in life then fair
play, I've done my bit and as far as I'm concerned I did it well.
Post by JudgeIt's an artificial situation that has arisen from Christian pressures that
taught that sex was dirty and shameful.
That's because the vast majority of the sexual images protrayed are
demeaning to women. A young child will only see what they see, no matter
how hard you try they don't understand that the woman may be consenting
purely for a photograph or video, they see a woman being treated as an
object. They soon forget the comforting words that Mummy or Daddy may
have said about it only being a film/picture and that it's not really
like that when they grow up - they have an image in their head and it
stays for life. I don't want my three girls growing up thinking they are
there to be used for men's sexual pleasure, I want them to grow up as an
equal partner in whatever they do.
Post by JudgeBefore that sexual imagery was widespread and more in your face than ever it
is today. The only problem was they had limited means to express it. All
that remains are a few carvings and paintings.
That doesn't make it acceptable. We used to have public hangings that
children attended, we also went to war more often and slaughtered black
people wholesale purely because of the colour of their skin, that
doesn't make showing sexual images to children acceptable in modern
society.
If you think it's acceptable then why not go the whole hog and show
children pictures of other children being sexually abused. After all,
some adults like it so it must be ok.
Post by JudgePost by swellerPost by JudgeYou are the one who has overloaded nudity with confused feelings. Don't
assume others can't deal with it too.
I'll assume this is an insult. May I suggest you come up with something
a little better as you're not very good at it.
It's an observation based on your earlier comments. You're the one that got
abusive, not me.
If you want to take offence, go ahead. As I said, that's your problem.
I don't take offence at what you say. I just agree with the others when
they say that you're a cock.
