The PP has clearly taken the side of the Concerned Citizens and has given the Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality (previously Hibiscus Coast Municipality) only 60 days to reconsider the decision regarding the Mpenjati Naturist Beach. According to the PP, the Municipality approved the nudist friendly beach before making its own application to the Department of the Environmental Affairs, KwaZulu Natal Ezemvelo Wildlife and they must also approach the Office of the KwaZulu Natal MEC: Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. The PP also recommends that the Municipality must consult the Chairman of the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL) for “proper guidance and assistance in handling of this matter”.

  • Breast Taboo
    Breast taboo In North America and in many other westernized countries a woman's breasts are a taboo: they are supposed to be hidden. Exposing woman's breasts in public is considered shameful and inappropriate ("indecent exposure") even on beaches or while breastfeeding. In other words, breasts - or at least the nipple - are supposed to be covered at all times. Parents tend to teach their children the same way, and many times children don't see a single naturally nude breast (apart from their own) while growing up. It is totally possible that a child grows up in North America and never sees a baby breastfeeding! However, while exposing breasts in public is a “no-no”, children and young people often see breasts (although practically never the nipples) displayed in a sexually provocative fashion on television, on the Internet, and in magazines. Breasts are actually emphasized in the advertisements, which signals to our young people that breasts are a sexual object, and only beautiful when big and protruding. However, we know that the larger breasts in the media is often just a fallacy, since the models and actors use push-up bras and breast enlargement to artificially enhance the way their breasts look like. Besides that, the photographs are always airbrushed to look just "right". Just think: if young girls continually see this propaganda without a balancing view of natural naked breasts, it is no wonder they also start seriously worrying about the size and shape of their own breasts even to the point of suicide! And women do greatly worry about their breast size as proven by the huge amount of augmentation surgeries: according to American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2006 383,336 women had a breast augmentation.

    205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism Extensively documented with quotes, references, supporting research, and resources for further study Compiled by K. Bacher Preface THE UNITED STATES LAGS FAR BEHIND most of the rest of Western Civilization in its negative attitude toward the human body. While most of Europe is comfortable with the concept of nude recreation on beaches and in vacation resorts, here in the U.S., conservative political action groups seek to criminalize even the most innocent exposure of the human body. Often these groups gain support by purporting to defend "family values" or "Christian morality." Although these groups are growing in political power, they represent only a small portion of the American population. And participation in nude recreation is also growing. More and more Americans are discovering the pleasures of skinny-dipping with their families in the local reservoir, or sunbathing in the buff at the local beach. Membership in nudist organizations is growing by leaps and bounds. More than ever, Naturists need powerful arguments to defend their chosen lifestyle against those who cannot see beyond their own misconceptions and preconceived notions. We need evidence and testimony to encourage others to give Naturism a try. For several years, I found myself making claims like these: "Actually, Mom, taking the kids to a nudist park is good for them." "The ideals of Naturism are consistent with the goals of women's rights." "A lot of famous people don't think skinnydipping's such a bad thing." "There's nothing in the Bible that says it's wrong to go nude." "Naturism has some real psychological benefits." "Not everyone in the world thinks nudity is so bad, you know." I knew that these statements were true, but when pressed, I could not back them up with concrete references.

INTRODUCTION T HE First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects free- dom of speech and expression.1 The Fourteenth Amendment pro- tects liberty of action. 2 Still, state and local laws compel sexual modesty. Of course, law cannot make anyone truly modest. The sanctions the law threatens, however, can impel even the least modest men and women to behave in public as if they were paragons of that saintly virtue. American laws compel sexually modest behavior: first, by restricting nudity on the streets, on beaches and in places of public accommodation; second, by prohibiting modes of public undress that could be character- ized as obscene, lewd or indecent; and third, by restricting the time, place and manner of sexually-oriented public theatrical performances, dancing and touching.3 Laws have demanded that women cover up their breasts.
