Are children traumatized by nudity?Why would breasts be terrifying to children? From:
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/your-inner-bonobo/201004/are-children-traumatized-nudityI was talking to a student who just got back from Australia, and since he was hanging out at the beaches, I asked him how he enjoyed perving on all toplessness (it's usually the young American male's favourite pastime down under).
'Topless?' he asked, aghast. 'Are you serious?'
He must have been on a deserted island in the middle of the barrier reef, because every city beach pretty much looks like this:
his is something about America that puzzles me. What do children
stare at for the first year of their life? I think it's a female
breast. Did this young student think at the sight of naked breasts,
every child under 5 would be lining up for a feed, like at an ice
cream truck? What is it, exactly, about breasts, that would be so
terrifying to children?
Granted, I do live in the South, but at no time have I seen a woman in
public pull down her top and breast feed her child - which is totally
common place in oz. And my friends here have told me it's not socially
acceptable.
Can someone explain it to me? Why is a wadrobe malfunction a threat to
moral authority? When Janet Jackson had a wadrobe malfunction, JT
didn't exactly look like he was fighting back uncontrollable animal
appetites. Or about to start suckling them.
