Considering your front cover back in July 2012 (NUDE BEACHES 2012) issue:

Why do you have the woman in the picture "blacked-out" over her breasts and vagina? Are you going prude too? Or did that Wiener guy order that?

I liked the cover in July. I don't like the above 'blacked-out" censored picture.

And no, I don't think your idea will work. For the prudes, this is about nudity. Period. No matter how much they foam at the mouth about cockrings. All this time, I've only seen 1-2 naked dudes on the rare occasion with a cockring. I'm sure the rabids will exaggerate that to "hundreds of cockrings are invading Jane Warner Plaza" and call it "a cockring invasion" and "we must stop this invasion because the cockrings don't live in the neighborhood," and other such loco thoughts they dream up for their prudish, conservative agenda.

The anti-circumcision crazies generated enough heat they began convincing the city that they had some amount of support, although even then polls showed more than 75% of people were against their plans. Then the state stepped in and shut them down - completely. They huffed and puffed and threatened to overturn the measure but in the end they've retreated to their male support groups held in dusty Victorian houses in the Haight where they discuss their trauma next to macrame plant hangers, worn posters of Tania Hearst and the stale memories of better days gone by.

The exhibitionists have followed the same path - attempting to convince people that THEY'RE the victims here, that everyone else is just too bourgeois and uptight to understand the joy of letting it all hang out where everyone can see it. But Wiener's called their bluff and now they're huffing and puffing but in the end they too will be brought in line. The last thing they want is a public vote on this issue - because they know they'll lose. So does Wiener - he doesn't fly blind. He knows what the polling shows.

People should leave the naked guys alone and not be so afraid of nudity. Nudity is quite natural and "the norm" in Europe and much of the planet. Then one comes to the U.S., and one would think that this country is going back to the Dark Ages. Children have no problem with nudity, especially when they see themselves nude. It's their parents who have the problem with nudity. Some people become prudes after they become a parent.

google this:

In Europe, strip off all your inhibitions
Americans may be taken aback, but Europeans think nothing for shedding their clothes at the beach or in a public bath. Nudity is the norm.

(I wasted about 15 minutes trying to get a link to this article past the spam filter. It wouldn't do it. This experience makes me not want to post on here because it's too much work and takes too much time, and I sense the BG doesn't care because I've read other comments about this in the past and nothing is ever done about it. Screw it).

This is just a reactionary, divisive issue created by an opportunistic politician with other goals.
