First of all I want to state that this is not a critique of the above statement, but purely an observation.

As an European I grew uo with a very (what I think) normal healthy attitude towards nudity: Since I was a toddler, I went to nude beaches, I grew up with nudity on regular TV and in advertising, and as a teenager, me and my girlfriend could run around naked at my mom's home, it was natural.
I can not help but observe that the American public has an attitude towards nudity that is kind of schizophrenic, (very much like the Japanese): Producing and consuming sexual content like libertines, but in a clandestine way, yet when seeing a nipple in public (like on MTV), all hell brakes loose.

Seeing a warning for female nudity on a 2004 Tiki web site makes me think "Have we developed at all since the Puritan 50s ?"

I know I know, it is politically correct and fair to warn those who do not share attitudes like mine, again, no critique, I am just observing here...

And now I will go back to observing those beautiful Tahitian Vahines, photographed by Teva Sylvain,(who has the Tahitian nude calendar and postcard market wrapped up!), and who is no doubt related to the Sylvain who photographed nude Vahines in Tahiti since the 40s.
