> I don't think this is a good thing. If you're not seeing any "normal" naked bodies, and are only ever exposed to idealized movie/porn bodies, aren't you more likely to get all kinds of body issues?
I agree and it’s a vicious circle ; the reason this happens in the first place is because people are already self-conscious about their bodies in ways that previous generations weren’t (of course this is specific to time & place and there were other issues back in the day!). Getting to see the variety of naked bodies that exist IRL would surely help, but that’s exactly what one would be avoiding.
