And a little girl, I think she was Amish held up a pair of crotchless panties with that same look on her face

Frederick's was a little glamorous to a preteen. But not to the little girl with the bonnet, I was shocked a kid could have such a judgmental attitude.

Same prairie type dress and head thingy. The older girl was very interested in the things that Frederick's sold. Though, I thought the same thing about why she would be in the store, I really didn't know much about the religion and their dogma regarding sexy clothes.

She was probably old enough, really quite attractive and unlike her younger counterpart, seemed filled with joy.

I can still see her in my mind and the beautiful expression on her face while looking at the lingerie as she must have been thinking of all of the possibilities.

FoH no doubt seemed like a mythical place to her, filled with dreams and romance.

At my young age, I felt slightly sneaky being in there and a bit concerned that I would be thrown out

But that incident popped fresh into my mind when I saw the boy's expression of revulsion being so similar to crotchless panties girl and the opposite expression on the lovely face of the young woman.

That episode was on last night here, in fact, on the local UHF channel in syndication.

"But the thing you don't realize is that there's good naked and bad naked. Naked hair brushing, good; naked crouching, bad."

was ruined for me, as a child, after I accidentally walked into the bathroom while my father was getting out of the tub.

I remember (in retrospect) that he was not circumcised.

It got real hard for me to eat beef sausages after that.

Over 50 years later, I still feel a little squeamish about them

Stretching this to "permanent trauma" seems Limbaugh-esque in its bizarre exaggeration, and/or really fucking sad for anyone it's really happened to. You'd think they never saw a movie or a TV show in their life. After watching a few dozen thousand people get blown away, I just don't get having a reaction to a naked man.

Personally, I don't think children are harmed by adult nudity as much as they are harmed by adult stupidity.

I think they are worried about being labeled "square" or "uncool". Personally, I think covering up your genitals and rectum should be required for reasons of hygiene.
