She's Sick and Tired of Everybody Being Nude

In the Scotsman newspaper in Edinburgh, this column was recently published by a woman who is sick of all the nudity she sees in Scotland.

"But in addition to the paparazzi shots of scantily clad stars on beaches, and of savvy glamour models who make an annoyingly large income from selling pics of themselves naked, there's now a growing number of "real girls" happily posing topless.

In this week's magazine, Chrystal stripped to her thong for the "Strip Challenge". Why? Just because. The magazine now has a dedicated message board page filled with pictures from everyday girls happy to show off their bits. Charmingly there is also an "assess my breasts" section where blokes can upload their "lady's boobs" to a breast assessment website which then appears in the magazine.

And then there are our gyms and spas. Well the changing rooms, to be precise. I can't count the amount of times I've been getting changed after a workout only to be surrounded by women strutting about, blow-drying and gossiping without a stitch on, while I hide in a corner facing a locker with my towel wrapped firmly around me.

It seems this rampant nakedness - and our eagerness (and confidence) to strip off - is on the increase. And while I firmly believe we should keep our bodies to ourselves, I'm willing to believe it's actually me who has the problem."
