It's going to be a classy place," the 42-year-old Bosa says. "It's Vegas meets South Beach. We'll have sheer and beads in the decor, and a stage with proper lightning. We'll have a Vegas cabaret show on stage, with the feathers and the boas and the smoke. The girls will be instructed not to go totally nude until the end of their show."Now I believe that nude dancing is a means of personal expression and is protected by the first amendment, but local communities always try and outlaw these clubs, generally citing the usual misinformation that adult dancing brings a rise in sex crimes. The recent settlement in Alabama where the dancers are being forced to spray on latex is a prime example of government interference that has no basis in common sense. So what is the real reason for opposition to nude dancing?
"Say what?" screamed County Commission Chair Addie Greene. "Classy? How can you be nude and classy? With all the crime, Riviera Beach needs this like a hole in the head. We need to do something. Who approved this?""How can you be nude and classy?" What does that mean? Is the nude human body perceived to be something disgusting and immoral in and of itself, and must be properly clothed to be "classy"? This is just more false outrage, opposition rooted in religious fervor and a general fear of anything sexual.
These morality crusaders seem to believe that any human sexual expression, nude or otherwise, is a scourge upon society and will lead to perversions and sex crimes. The truth, in fact, is just the opposite. It's the repression of normal human sexuality that leads to frustration and deviance. Take the recent example of Colorado preacher Ted Haggard who suppressed his natural homosexual urges and tried to live a heterosexual life. His efforts to mask his true nature went to the extreme where he preached and wrote about the evils of homosexuality, while secretly living the lifestyle, which led to his removal and even the banishment of his books.
A society that suppresses normal human sexuality just breeds sexual frustration and deviancy. On one hand we use sex to sell virtually everything from booze to cars, and on the other we criminalize the mere exposure of the human body. Somehow Britney Spears gets her photo plastered all over the Internet with her genitals exposed, yet if one of these dancers in Florida does the same thing, there is fear of prosecution. You can turn on Cinemax on any Friday night and see lots of nude bodies engaging in sex acts, but a person cannot go skinny-dipping at the local water hole. The mixed-messages that American society is sending can only serve to further confuse what is already a muddled morass of what is right and wrong when it comes to nudity and sex.
