You know how when you are a little kid think from the ages of 0 to 6 it's okay ish (tho that even seems to be changing a bit these days) to walk around naked even in public places like beaches, parks, front yards of neighborhood etc but once you reach ages of about 7 to 9 it's totally unacceptable? I wonder why that is?
Does it have to do with the fact that from those ages is when the human body starts to get features that a lot of people are "attracted" to and that scares adults because they do not want to feel "icky"? And because when you're a little little kid most people just view you as truly innocent genitals and all because you have no defined "form" yet you are kinda just a blop of baby fat that I'd say most people do not find attractive but as said before when you reach later adolescence you start to get what people might even if secretly find attractive? Or it it just more naunsced than that?
Anyway this is a question that's bugged me since I myself was like...10 lol. I don't see the difference except in innocence and possibly less "sexyness" for a lot of people....hmmm share your thoughts or what you think it is.
An interesting question

Re: An interesting question
Part of the reason is that it's a lot more difficult to convince the real young ones that nudity is bad. A lot of parents know that it's a huge struggle to put clothes on them when they don't want them. So I suppose some people just have sympathy for that struggle.
That's my hypothesis anyway.

Re: An interesting question
That's an interesting question. I could see it being a combination of the fact (I mean possibility) that attraction to children, for average people, might generally start to develop at around 6/7 and also children themselves becoming more self-conscious at that age.
I'm not sure how common it is for 5-year-olds to be naked out in public though, it doesn't seem too unusual for them to be running around the house nude and if someone comes to visit it won't be totally unusual for them to be exposed to them (even then though, you'd probably try to put clothes on them even if it wouldn't be considered extremely scandalous), and no one bats an eye at a photo of a bare chested baby.

thats not my AOT at all i prefer MUCH older now maybe if it was 10 to 13 then there would be something to look at. Little little kids to me just look like bundles of weird proportioned flesh lmao. I guess in some European countries its common that as long as a girl dosnt have breasts yet she goes topless just like the boys lol.

Re: An interesting question
I'm not saying nudity is bad, I'm saying those who raise a fuss about nudity want everyone else to believe it's bad. but there seems to be a relative soft spot for the toddler who refuses.Theendoftheline wrote: Sun May 31, 2026 8:44 pm nudity isnt bad though its like....a modern big brain thing we came up with because of allll sorts of social, religious, sexule repression bullshit and the masses over time just went "makes sense to me" lol.
