In NYC and SF, public nudity is okay–presumably, with the same restriction on sexual situations (unless you’re gay, in the park along the bluff.) Elsewhere, exact same situation, the crime gets jumped from a misdemeanor to a way serious felony, merely on account of the presence of children (or, sometimes, women.) WTF?!

Yet one more: Mother or Father is convicted on naughty child picture charges for doing the same thing that Robert Maplethorpe did. Gay guy’s pictures get shown to audiences (no doubt full of pedophiles) at art shows. Again, WTF?!

Or: Nudist pics of kids okay on internet, (apparently) provided they’re on sites promoting nudism and the nudist lifestyle. Who’s drawing the lines–and how?

Finally: Old action pics of a certain notorious underaged naked American naughtiest movies star (and future actress) not having sex are against the law. Similar pics of an award-winning underaged naked German-Polish actress simulating having sex are not against the law. SMH

I would understand all or nothing against the law, but my mind is perhaps insufficiently facile to grasp the apparent inconsistencies without additional explanation.

In otherwords, and 16 year old nudity or nudity of any age is totally fine and legal as long as it is just sun bathing or other non-sexual situation.
