What's the problem with nudity? - BBC Horizon

Of course in recent years this Horizon episode has been the most
interesting British documentary on nudity. The last experiment there
really bothers me though. For the last experiment people were told to
paint the parts of the body they felt it was okay to TOUCH. One person
painted the entire body. I would think there would be a difference
between the parts of the body people thought it was okay to expose and
the parts of the body people thought it was okay to touch. Anyway, I
am sure most of you have seen this documentary before but in
preparation for Thursday's nudist documentary on Channel Four, I
thought some might again want to review this BBC documentary.



What is wrong with nudity? Why are people embarrassed about their
bodies? How and why did they get the way they are?

Horizon takes a group of volunteers and subjects them to a series of
psychological and physical tests to challenge attitudes to the naked
human form. The questions raised strike at the heart of human physical
and social evolution.

Human beings are the only creatures that can be 'naked' - but why, how
and when did people lose their fur? That question takes Horizon around
the world to meet scientists from Africa to Florida, and they are
finding answers in unexpected places: the chest hair of Finnish
students, the genetic history of lice, and the sweat of an unusual
monkey.

It turns out that something everyone takes for granted may hold the
key to the success of the entire human species.

once more with feeling we see the educated hiding their perversion by
touting an immature experiment in order to subject not so bright
specimens to take their clothes off for the camera and make money in
the name of a phony science.....z

and touching one another....but it is a perversion for a person to
provoke mixed genders to follow those dumb stupid orders on retarded
human specimens....so you were one of the attendees ...what does that

window and notice the hippie...with a back pack hitchhiking and smokin
a joint....he will give you the correct answer.....z

You have to wonder about these people who would consent to be guinea
pigs for such experiments as well as the scientists who do them. What
REALLY motivates them.

I don't know if you saw the Discovery Channel documentary about the
female orgasm but talk about fetish fodder. That one scientist giving
out the command "Simulate".

so i guess the republicans say....shucks it is a job creator....but
most 10 year ol kids would say it is foolishness.....i gotta admit
this cable and satelite tv sure has a lot of junk.....but i did hear a
phrase spoken yesterday from a lady that said.....to be honest....all
i really wanted was a hug......humans have become so alienated from
one another that i suppose we do have to explain every move we make to
keep folks from charging hostile aggression...or sexual assault...i
remember back in the late seventies...my attorney said we need to sue
the city quick because there is a whole new bunch of laws
coming...ie....sexual assault and the family code is being changed in
all states....things got messed up bad about that time.....sad huh....z

That whole "exercise" seemed weird because before then the focus was
on just seeing nude people and being seen nude, and the comfort and
discomfort of that, but this moved it all into the area of touching
body parts. Seemed like it moved it into kind of a different (though I
guess somewhat related) subject. The question in the end with that
experience wasn't what's wrong with seeing nude people and being nude
around people, by people's comfort level of being touched. If they
wanted it to be about what is wrong with being touched then that would
be to me a different program.

That one German lady at Confest sure found out the problems with touch!
