Nudity, and child nudity per se, do not make for an illegal act. Selling access to pictures of underage nude children is not illegal in this country under the current federal laws. Selling them for prurient interests could be construed as breaking the law but these cases don't make it to court when there are so many real instances of the law being broken.
Personally I don't agree with it at all. From the standpoint of the first amendment and the law, it is legal.
Saying there outta be a law will just get you in trouble later on, since believe me, there are plenty of people who think there outta be laws against everything we do.
There has to be a line somewhere and for me, it's the difference in legal and not. The minute they make nudist stuff illegal, I hope it gets shut down, turned off and never comes back. Until then, it's not something I'll be looking at but I am not going to dispute the right to its existence.
Thoughts aren't crimes, actions are. So if a guy buys a video and has illicit thoughts while watching it, that's his right. If he chooses to act on those thoughts, then he's broken the law. This is no different than buying a movie where someone blows up a building or walks into a bank and mows down everyone in sight with an automatic weapon.

I think that is seriously one of the only topics which brings out the they-oughtta-legislate in me. Most of the time, I really think we need fewer laws, but I also do think we need unambiguous laws in order to have a free society. People should know whether they are breaking the law. It should not be up to the randomness of unpredictable local authorities after the fact.
That said, a typical nudist credo would be that nudity is natural and not intrinsically sexual.
What would real nudists be doing making their kids compete for who has the most beautiful body? Part of the point of nudism is not feeling self-conscious about your own body. I totally respect nudists' right to do what they do, but having their kids do it competitively seems awfully suspicious to me.
