I yesterday said that also women in burkas get raped, even though they are covering their complete body. Nobody can thus say that they wore revealing clothing. While this proves that clothes are not the reason for rape, it also gives evidence of one fact I always mention: any body part that you continuously hide becomes more and more sexy for the people around you because they don’t usually get to see it. Maybe it was this thought that made someone suggest there should be nudist colonies in India to fight the problem of sexual harassment!
While this may not be a serious suggestion for a nation-wide problem, especially in this culture of suppressing sexuality, there is some truth behind this idea which is why I would like to explore it a bit today.
In search for a relevant example, I had to think of my visits to nude beaches in many different countries around the world. While to some people it may seem funny that on my journeys I have been to nude beaches, I think it is not. I have always been with people who believe in a natural way of living and what can be more natural than your own naked body? And there is now the main point of the question already: why do you think it would be strange to go to a beach where everyone is naked? Because you imagine every man having an erection and staring at the women around him?
If you have ever been to such a place yourself you know that this is not the truth. I have been to nude beaches with big crowds of men, women, families, teenagers and children. Never did I see even one man with an erection.
Why? Because it is just natural to be naked and when everyone is, there is nothing special in it anymore, nothing that would be the cause for an erection. And nothing that would cause sexual harassment or an assault on a woman!
Society has created so much shame around the genitals that people in some countries gasp in shock when they think that there are such things like nudist beaches, resorts and colonies where people just live naked, just as they are, without covering anything. The more you cover up, the more you hide, the sexier it will become. If you start hiding your toenail tomorrow, it will become just as sexy as your genitals would be to most people today.
When you hide, people cannot see that they have nothing special, that billions of men and women have the same thing, the same body parts and the same urges, feelings and needs.
Now, I won’t start a naked community in our Ashram in order to prove my point but maybe someday the Indian government will follow this commentator’s suggestion and open some nudist colonies to prevent crime. Until that day comes however, India’s people still have a lot of change ahead of themselves!
