In that view the writer of that post is entirely correct.

Of course they argue that there&#8217;s nothing sexual about their perversion, but this is just wishful thinking. Their children, teenage girls most worryingly, are exposed to lustful eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2909\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Selection_046.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"171\" \/>Anyone who reads this and feels him-or herself a proper nudist or naturist will cringe at this. &#8220;Ridiculous&#8221; isn&#8217;t how I feel when I wear no clothes. &#8220;Free&#8221; is much closer to it. One more chalked up for ignorance and prejudice, folks.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen naked children at nude beaches and at resorts. I&#8217;ve yet to find kids who are happier than they, despite the watchful eyes of their parents and other adults who look after them.
