Could the tide be turning about mainstream acceptance of nudity?

I saw this yesterday in the Guardian

And there was a discussion on Radio 2 yesterday, largely supporting the idea that nudity is totally legal. Beaches, gardens, anywhere really. The dissenters of course are the ones with the issues.

Of course when we go to nude beaches we tend to gather together. Ive never thought about this before but one reason is that we are not really going to cause offence when we are with other naked people. This is true whenever we go to official or unofficial areas.

And naked in our own homes and gardens should be normal. We shouldnt need to worry what our neighbours think or draw the curtains.

There will unfortunately be a small minority of people who might spoil it for all of us by causing offence or doing lewd. However society should see that as an individual problem and the same could happen whether naked or not.

I wonder whether we will ever get the chance to be more naked more of the time.
