The Swiss are considering outlawing hiking in the buff.
It's funny that the argument is always "think of the children". I've never heard a shred of evidence that seeing a nude person is in any way harmful to a child or anybody else. And in fact the idea is so laughable that even discussing it seems silly.

Odd, that. I heard that in Switzerland, rather explicit programs on sex advice are ordinarily run on national TV. Complete with couples making (unsimulated?) love.
The images I saw were at least equivalent to "16+" softcore erotic movies.
The children are an excuse for the adults' prejudice. Children are the least likely people to be offended by anything; they look to adults to instruct them on what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. And guess what? Adults tell them nudity is unacceptable.

It depends on who is doing the nude hiking. A model or supermodel, no problem. A big, hairy, sweaty Swiss dude...that could scar me for life!
