There's Another Way Other Than Shame

It's funny that when a blogsite shows some nudity they tend to get an adult content warning.
Is it because of some screwed up fear that children might stumble across these images? Children whose parents are so concerned about their welfare that they let their children search the internet unsupervised? Children who's parents don't put enough time into parenting? Parents who'd rather change the internet experience for the vast majority just so they don't have to change their “baby sitter” computer.
Do children really care about nudity anyway, until they witness their parent's over reaction to it?
People are so screwed up when it comes to sex that they have no qualms about passing that fear onto their children.
Did you know that dictionary's have been pulled from schools in California because they have the meaning of oral sex in them.
Weird, isn't it. It's the twenty first century.
Imagine if we celebrated the human body. Imagine if we treated it as something to revere, to celebrate. Imagine if we thought of sex as something to enjoy together, not feel shameful about? Imagine if parents encouraged their teenagers to have sex as a way of getting to know someone – with all the knowledge supplied.
Imagine how different the world would be.
