People take offence..

[ShadowsAndDust]

..From the stupidest things, human anatomy for example, what is so "naughty", "bad" or "disgusting" about reproductive organs, everyone has them. Why are so many people so offended by this, someone please explain.

From a US perspective, the seeds were planted by the Puritans, then reinforced by Edwardian and Victorian mores. Sex was percieved as sinful. The dance The Can Can was banned in the US, the whole movie ratings system was put in place because of a movie that showed a womans boob. The US is sexually uptight and has never purged the original Puritan ideals.

Thanks, i wasn't expecting that from someone who just posted "because they are naughty!!!!!!!" . I'm not just talking about sex though, i'm talking about people being generally offended by human anatomy, and also about the people who were born more recently but still take offence.

I don't think they're disgusting. On the contrary.

Neither do I, but that's to do with sexual orientation, and I'm not talking about that here.

I would be offended if anybody besides Evan or GP whipped out their penis and started shaking it in my face. Because I don't like seeing penises.

That's understandable, but it's to do with behaviour also, but would you be offended if you just saw a random picture of one somewhere?

I've never understood why people are offended by nudity. For Christ sake, what harm does seeing them do?

 

[Elle]

I don't understand how this can be that questionable. (??)

Exactly. I was thinking it might have something to do with the persons insecurity about themself, but I'm not really sure.

What do you mean?

It's obvous why people are embarrassed or offended when viewing "PRIVATE" parts. Because they are supposed to be just that, private. Unless it's a nudie mag, or movie, porn, etc. where people are blatantly flashing their netheregions, then no one wants to forcibly view another person's private parts. then it becomes offensive and disgusting.

Like eyeball rape.

 

[ShadowsAndDust]

Why are they supposed to be private? and I'm not talking about forcibly viewing

 

[Elle]

Because Jesus said so.

 

[FreeWorkVest]

Because Jesus said so.

LOL..
