Nudity (dictionary)

BoyWiki Dictionary: Nudity

n. (noun)

¹ Nudity, now a buzzword intended to elicit shock and horror in the reader or listener, in the past meant "a naked human being--someone not wearing any clothing," i.e., someone whose body was completely exposed. Currently this buzzword is used by antisexuals and sexophobes to describe any display of any part of the body which is not covered by clothing. Under this definition, most people most of the time are "displaying nudity," and any photo of any person showing any unexposed portion of the body could then be considered involving "nudity" or to be a "nude photo". A photo of a partially dressed person which includes the exposed breast of a girl or woman, or a photo showing the buttocks of any person, is now (incorrectly) referred to as a "nude photo" or a sexually explicit photo. Photos which are "sexted" by young people which include any kind of nudity or partial nudity are now described as being "sexually explicit photos" even though no genuine sexual activity is taking place in the photos at all! What was formerly regarded as simple nudity is now considered to be "sexually explicit," and, by extension, if the material involves a minor then the material is considered to be pornographic.
