Our neurotic hang-ups about our biological functions are pretty much endless; hadn’t you noticed?
Puritanical colonialism left a really nasty mark on American ‘society…’

My folks tended to go to nudist beaches when we were on holiday (generally us kids wore swimming trunks though), and now I have a tendency to see naked people as, well, just bodies.
Probably also accounts for me finding partial nudity more alluring than full nudity

Mine too, and personally, I hated it. I had to fight my parents to put on my shorts.
So let’s just say this: “NO bodies are perfect.” Perfect doesn’t exist - they’re just bodies. Even a supermodel will have some portion of her body that she hates, or is told she should hate.
Toxic body marketing has existed as long as marketers could imagine a need for their product to fill. “Halitosis” wasn’t even a word until some marketer created it. I think porn is even more toxic to those who don’t understand it’s all fantasy.
I like the idea of this show. It gets all the issues in the open. There’s no sneaky glances and whispering and snickering at the nude beach or bath house. There’s no scandal when you accidentally catch glimpse of a naked body. And there’s no self-blame or bullying when you encounter a body that doesn’t compare to porn.

C’mon Idaho, c’mon Invert Dakota, get that legislation warmed up, demanding that the laws of electromagnetic transmission render fig leaves on as it crosses state borders. Northern Cali. can just worry about needing a show called Homo Plankikus Country.
Deodorant soap and what it does and can’t should probably roam into discussion. Crazy resistance on the make.
