Yes I understand that. My problem is more so with the way we treat a naked human body as some horrible thing that can’t be seen, rather than something natural to learn about. Kids shouldn’t see sex scenes or suggestive stuff sure, but just a naked body is literally scientific and it’s good knowledge to have so you don’t learn from some weird corner of the internet or worse from porn

Do you think that commercial was "just a naked body" in the scientific sense?

No, that commercial is slightly suggestive. But there have been more sexually suggestive commercials that show less nudity that have gotten a lot less flak. People also have to sit through a commercial of Megan Fox basically saying “take this pill and you can fuck me” which is far more suggestive, but because she’s fully clothed people care less about it.

Let's not forget this classic ad.

I can’t believe they let children watch this filth.
