Are nudist web sites legal?
 

Are they? or do they fall in the same category as all those lolita and child porn sites, sorry, "Art" sites ?

Why would nude Adults be considered lolita?

Well, I think that nudist are not just adults, I think the WHOLE family goes to the beach together and has "fun" in the sun...

But I'm not sure....

You answered your own question...

Naked kids on the beach, I take it you seem to focus on the kid part of this?

If you were really interested in making a nudist site, why are you even considering placing children images inside?

Well, first, I'm not considering anything, just got a spam for one of those stes, and was wondering in what category does it fall in....

As I said, I'm not sure about the whole family thing... just guessing....

Yes, they are VERY illegal because they are sold as sex objects, not news, etc.

i think that most nude beaches or colinies dont allow cameras anyway/

I'm not an attorney, but to the best of my knowledge the only nude images of children which are patently illegal are sexualized images (kids in sexual situations, kids present while sex is going on, kids lasciviously displaying genitalia). Hell, if naked kids were porn in and of itself, where would that put all those nekkid cherubs on the cathedral ceilings?

Nudism is about family life and families include children.

I'm as opposed to kiddie porn as the next guy, but I find a lot of the harrumphing about KP (or CP, as you will have it) a bit humorous, as if they want to divert attention from themselves.

It's like all the women who seem so worried about anorexia, whereas it's rather obvious that for every woman who dies of anorexia, 1000 women will die of causes related to obesity.

A nudist family playing volleyball on the beach or baking cookies in the kitchen is not pornography per se, and if it's not pornography it isn't obscene, and it's obscenity which is illegal, not pornography.

The pictures arent illegal as Lens said, its when you charge people to jerk off to them, thats when it becomes illegal. When its sold as sex, it is looked at as obcene. Any picture sold as sex involving a naked child, will be open and shut in a court... its all how you look at it ya know.
