Naturism In The News : Society

As reported in the UK National press recently.

A RELAXED attitude to nudity could REDUCE the number of teen pregnancies, nudists said today.

British Naturism said the prudish attitude of Brits could be fuelling the rise in the number of teen mums.

Britain has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe. Countries not so embarrassed about being seen in the buff have lower rates of school-age parents, said the group.

“Anyone who advocates prudery should be required to stand in front of a group of pregnant teenagers and explain why it is that, in countries such as Denmark or the Netherlands, most of them would not be pregnant,” the group argues.

The organisation also said that Brits treat breastfeeding in public as "dirty and shameful", and get embarrassed at the sight of a mum nursing her baby. They even drew parallels between our attitudes towards the body and the number of eating disorders.

Andrew Welch, commercial manager of British Naturism, said: "Governments, authority figures and social and community leaders should accept that the human body is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about, and that being more open about it would benefit society.

My thoughts on the the above are- "It is a bit of a sensationalist headline BUT the truth is that the underlining problem is really education and awareness"
