Puritanism

[edit]

I removed this:

In other countries, common sense prevails, and puritan laws give way to human nature. This line of distinction follows not simply along class lines, but rather by the synergy between cultural sensitivities, and natural behaviour.

The first sentence is not NPOV, and the second does not appear to mean anything at all. - Montréalais


Exhibitionists pleasure

[edit]

"About 20% of exhibitionists derive a sadistic pleasure out of shocking people, and those are the ones who are at risk of committing more serious crimes and being a danger to others."

Where did this come from? because it sounds like it was made up, honestly. It also sounds stupid to use the word "sadistic"....--Deglr6328 07:22, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

History of flashing

[edit]

This sentence:

It is uncertain exactly when or how flashing became more socially acceptable, but it likely has at least partially to do with the advent of the Sexual Revolution.

Is utter BS. The kids of the Sexual Revolution thought they invented sex too. The fist flasher was probably the caveman/woman who invented clothes. The sentence about flashing @ Mardi Gras is interesting, but kind of orphaned here. That info is probably in the Mardi Gras article, so I deleted it here.

Why not give people a choice?

[edit]

I happened to come across this page as I followed links from "Victorian Morals" and was surprised by the picture that was there. I've read through the arguments of those who want to keep the picture/remove the picture, and I tend to agree that no one has come up with good arguments to keep the picture. What's clear is that some people want to look at the picture while reading the article, and others don't. Is it possible to add the picture as a link, so it doesn't automatically appear on the page? If the reader thinks he/she needs an illustration, then a brief explanation of the image next to a link for it could make it pop up in a new window. I'm not sure how complicated it'd be to do that, but it seems plausible. Perhaps all articles dealing with nudity or sex could operate this way, so that the reader isn't forced to look at the images, but has the option to.


I agree whole-heartedly. Topless pictures have caused problems for lots of sites/search engines, because they're very easily seen by children (and a topless scene in a movie would very likely warrant it a PG-13 or higher). - Fluffyemu

EDIT: I just realized that the most gratuitous picture was removed. Whoever did so, I applaud you. The other picture does pertain to flashing, since she's in a department store. In addition, I think a mooning picture would be an appropriate addition too. The one on the "mooning" article is a bit organized/artificial. Whatever happened to high school jocks mooning the Burger King window?
