Yeah,you have survived the nudity of local ladies, how about local guys? I reckon you'd be utterly knocked out by the bared body of local stallion.

Dear all,

Sometimes people go full monty in the common area of the swimming pool changing rooms. They forget that there can be kids around.

Is such behaviour legal? Can a swimming pool changing room of a club house be considered as a public place, as I am sure in China there are rules again nudity in public places.

Should such behaviour be socially tolerable, again given the fact that there could kids around of different ages and coming from different cultures where such behaviour could be shocking.


I'm with you on this. Why just the other day I was in Kedi where they had CONDOMS, not only for sale without a prescription-- but in full view next to the cash register where any child could see them! It's things like this, the habit of the local women going about without properly covering their heads, and these inscrutable celestials blasphemous habit of consuming alcohol on Sunday that makes me remember that indeed it is the burden of the white man to bring proper civilization and moral behavior to the lesser peoples of God's Good Earth.


Rolling Eyes jesus christ - what kind of BS are you talking about?? (blasphemy absolutely chosen on purpose)

1st: what makes you set christianity set eqaul to moral standards and civilization?? ever heard of the christian crusades or just recently, how some priests treat their ministrants?

2nd:What is bad about condomns?? why should a child not see them? (other than its way too uptight mum/dad starts sweating when he gets ask what it is for) And, have you ever heard about HIV? This is a problem, even more shocking than your piscayunish approach to today's world...


and to cite a book, probably familiar to you (matthew 22:39):

'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself'

You really want 'white men to bring proper civilization and moral behavior to the lesser people' Or should we just try to accept each other? And, what are lesser people?

Nudity in the common "changing areas" for same sexes is fine with me, however it's when they blow dry their privates (shared hairdryer touching pubes) or sit without a towel directly on the chairs or benches with their legs spread open, or spit directly on the floor, is what is disgusting and looks a lot like a bunch of monkeys.

I think the problem is not the looking at your privates..it the pointing and laughing that upsets people...esp. when its a 5 year old who is laughing and pointing

I heard that there will come a certain kind of mixed bathing stalls. I'm not sure how that kind of stuff is going now.
