I agree with everything you said, except this. Not sure if this makes sense, but sexualize contextually. Sun bathing nude with another while sipping a drink and enjoying each others company? Hot. Enjoying a swim nude with members of the general public at a community pool? Sounds a lot like just enjoying a swim in the nude. Can't say a body covered in chemically treated, dandruff polluted pee water with children splashing away in the background is all that sexy.

And let's not pretend that the women are the only ones who could have someone removed. If a guy approached a life guard and explained a situation, I'm sure the rule would be enforced. The specific mention of a woman's request is probably to make it known that creeping won't be tolerated, and women should feel safe and comfortable to attend. Besides, who really likes having to hang up a bathing suit when they get home.

And now there's a petition to get it cancelled - or at least made 18+ only.

That petition and the comments are literally the stupidest thing I have ever read. The level of fear-mongering is absurd.

Haha, I didn't actually read the petition. Just heard them talking about it on the news while I was cooking supper.

I’d assume that any children would likely be accompanied by a parent or guardian who are likely into this lifestyle? I’d further assume that if your child had been previously assualted that you would not take them for an even8ng of naked swimming

I think you may have to go back in time perhaps a hundred million years or so to reprogram human brains (via evolution) to disregard how reproduction works.

I am far from an expert on this, but humans certainly behave like many other animals in the way they select their partners, good genes is typically associated with your body.

Trying to 'unsexualize' the human body is a similar argument to those claiming that biological gender is not real.

So peeing in the river was your plan all along...

WHy?

Why can't a parent choose to have their kid around this. What harm would come to the child?

If you want to talk about exposure to inappropriate material just turn on the radio, TV or most magazine covers and we aren't concerned about parents exposing these to children. Why should we be concerned about saggy tits and balls presented in a utilitarian and not titalatimg manner.

I wouldn't bring my kids to this but if this is your lifestyle I don't see the issue.

Pedos...the issue is pedos

There are plenty of decisions parents aren't allowed to make because "their own children" why? Because people are ####ing morons...having kids doesn't change that.

That seems ridiculously fearful. I think anybody showing arousal at a nudist event would give themselves away pretty fast and be kicked out.

But, how do you deal with change rooms and showers then? Are people in constant fear of pedophiles hiding in there staring at children?

The fear of pedophiles seems overblown.

Yeah, next step is to remove all adults from schools to protect the children. I seriously can't believe this event has become such an issue.

Hey, do whatever you want, but I do find the kids aspect a bit weird. Not because I'm worried about pedophiles, but because as a kid the last thing I would want to do with my parents would be hang out naked.

I presume that if one is under 18, then they must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. If that is the case, its not my business what any parent does with their kids. I couldnt care less about how other people raise their kids in any aspect.

I would never sign the petition.

Do your let your children unattended near family members? Statisticly that is the most likely source of a pedophile in your life.

Do you have any evidence that nudist events attract more pedos the Change rooms on a regular day. Is the risk of pedophiles at this event so much higher than the average day to day risk that it requires intervention? You seem to be reacting based on fear rather than any rational piece of information.

I guess I'm torn on this because there is 0% chance I would take my kids to this or anything like that. I'm not particularly concerned about pedophiles though. I don't know...I get that it's "natural" and all that, but frankly there are a few things that are and my kids don't need to be exposed to it. I'm not a nudist, obviously I guess, but I can't see why you would want kids there if you were.
