To the editor,

It is strange that many so called "religious" leaders call mere nudity "sexual". Sorry, but mere nudity is never sexual.

If "God had intended us to wear clothes, he (she) would have made us that way. Okay, so God doesn’t want us to wear clothes? NO, God leaves it up to us to stay in warm climates or find the insulation we need for colder climates. There is no evidence that God has ever interfered in that process. In fact, there is no evidence that God has ever told man anything. Okay, what about prayer: If you pray as Christ told you, your prayer only enables YOU to do what you need done. No other "prayers" mean anything. IF you follow what Christ taught your prayers will always be answered, since you won’t ask for more than YOU can do.

We all love to see young children, uninhibited cavorting in the nude, before sexual feelings! Oh, yeah? Five-year-olds, and up, show and will tell you later of their intense sex feelings, long before they could partake in "normal" sexual relations. But in fact, many of them can and do. That proves the need for FULL sex education starting very early (5 years is not too soon). Clearly GOD made these wonderful bodies to procreate and enjoy. It is OUR weird standards that opposes GOD’S standards of time of procreation. Maybe in many ways our delay in acceptable birth time makes sense, BUT, in doing that we MUST allow the natural and normal instincts to be exercised, safely. If we really love our daughters we will do everything to allow them full sexual satisfaction while protecting against unwanted pregnancy. If everyone did that there would be no debate about abortion.

It is well documented in nudist and naturists groups that unwanted pregnancies are rare, maybe due to good education. That only shows the superiority of those loving groups.

To shift the education a bit: It is well known that MALES are the sexual aggressors, and for good reasons. Yet in nudist camps in the past males were never a problem, often major helps. Most males are very loving and helpful for all around them. But a major problem is that most males are a bit afraid of females. As males see them, girls are "cool", in total control of their lives, while males are totally afraid of them.

We must turn around that ignorance.

Why can chipmunks, squirrels, and other nice animals live so well, and procreate so well?
