Go naked to end teen pregnancies... say naturists: Group claims parents concerned by children's exposure to sexual images are guilty of child abuse





report by British Naturism brands ‘prudery’ a ‘form of child abuse’
Group launched recruitment campaign to attract female members
Naturist clubs across the country to encourage more women ‘first-timers’
Want children to be brought up in a naturist environment to learn about sex



Problems faced by today’s youngsters such as teenage pregnancy and pornography obsessions could be solved by bringing children up around naked bodies, according to a nudist movement.


Though many parents are concerned about the extent to which children these days are exposed to sexual images, it is ‘prudery’ that is a ‘form of child abuse’, says a shock new report by British Naturism. The group is facing a struggle to attract female members and has started a recruitment campaign.



Only 40 per cent of naturists in the UK are women and a series of events is underway at naturist clubs across the country to encourage more women ‘first-timers’. The recruitment drive is particularly aimed at mothers with school-age children.








New guidelines on the group’s website offers advice to men who can’t persuade their partners to get naked with them, and promotes a ‘buddy system’ where women can get naked in pairs.


Andrew Welch, spokesman for British Naturism, said: ‘Naturism appeals more intuitively to men and we have a gender imbalance. We thought we had a duty in the modern world where so many women are upset by body image issues putting pressure on them.
‘It is an opportunity for us to say here is something that can solve your problems.’




But while British Naturism discourages young women from becoming defined by their appearance, schools that ban short skirts are criticized.
‘The end result of the skirt-lengthening spiral is the burqa,’ the report says.

Sex education in the UK also comes under fire. According to naturists, learning about bodies and sex, ‘should be done by bringing up children in a naturist environment where body honesty is key’.

The report concludes the ‘prudification’ of society is a growing and serious problem that could lead to ‘greater sexualisation and violence’.

I agree so much of being a teenager is discovering yourself, and deciding on how you want to be,  I think many teens fall victim to these vices of unhealthy sex with no protection cause they don't know any better and want to keep these feelings secret.
