Context is important, however, I believe in general media nudity is helping normalize a normal practice. We are always going to have people who follow or espouse obsolete beliefs based upon their religious affiliation. Until society in general wakes up to a mind set that allows for people to live their best lives without the structured control that organized religion imposes upon people, we are all going to suffer.
my primary viewpoint is the more naked the better. however, media and our broken society values oftens use nudity to exploit negative points that are harmful to our naturist lifestyles. we have to be careful here. again, the more naked the better, but like everything there are always things to consider.
