The bare facts of teenage pregnancies are the fault of illiberal prudery, according to a report to the Scottish government.
The nudist organisation British Naturism says that a more relaxed attitude to the naked body could cut the number of unplanned babies born to young girls.
It says: "Anyone who advocates prudery should be required to stand in front of a group of pregnant teenagers and explain why it is that, in countries such as Denmark or the Netherlands, most of them would not be pregnant."
Said spokesman Andrew Welch: "There is strong evidence that conventional attitudes towards the human body contribute significantly to a wide range of problems, some of them serious – but there is incredible reluctance to face the implications.
"Governments, authority figures and social and community leaders should accept that the human body is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about and that being more open about it would benefit society.
"The evidence is clear but there is incredible reluctance to face the implications. It is time to leave prejudices behind and do what is right for the young people of this country."

Major props to British Naturism for pushing this theme. This is something we all know of course, if we were raised in a Naturist/FKK family or one that simple nudity at home was not something 'weird'. Education on all things is important, including sex ed but but being aware of our bodies, the opposite sex's bodies, certainly is something postive as far as knowledge. Good for them!
Family naturism!
