Much as I support the idea of female nudity in general, I agree with the OP. People should be able to decide if they want to see a naked woman not have one suddenly appear before them. The photographer and the model should have arranged somebody else to have been present further away on the trail to advise people that they were taking nude pictures up ahead. Trail users would then be able to either turn back or pick up their pace depending on their inclinations.
I have to pile on with the “whatever” crowd. The female form is absolutely beautiful and has been admired in art throughout the ages. By making a big deal out of it and spiriting your son around a rock wall, you’re subtly perpetuating the ridiculous notion that nudity = sex = porn = bad. A simple answer to your son’s question would have sufficed. “What are they doing over there, daddy?”… “They’re taking pictures, son.”

I suppose that you have no problem with men publically exposing themselves to 10 year old girls.
The issue is choice. I sent my preteen to art classes that included figure drawing with naked models. Went with him and his sibs a few years previous to a resort that allowed topless bathing. He was fine, I was fine, my wife was fine. But we made the informed decision. Imposing that choice on others is not okay.

Oh, please. A perv exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl is not the same as photographing a naked male in a nature setting. :rolleyes:
Nudity aside, I’m having a little bit of trouble reconciling the two items quoted below:

It was going to be a beautiful day… 87F with a light breeze off the waterfalls.

shivering and hiding behind a tree right now.

I know it’s easy to shiver when you’re naked, and I guess she was upset, but 87 sounds about warm enough that shivering might not be necessary.
Uh, I don’t really have anywhere to go with that observation.

Did you ever think maybe he was just spending a day at the park with his daughter? 
Does this happen regularly at this park, and where may I find it?

Okay, my decision is for a naked woman to suddenly appear before me.
I’m waiting…
Just out of curiousity, has your son ever witnessed someone being killed, maimed or severely beaten on TV, in a movie or in a video game?
I’m upset.
Why does this happen to guys that have sons and don’t want to see hot naked women naked in the woods, but singles guys like myself get to see Banana Slugs. it’s just not fair.

I was just thinking about this - as cliché as it is to play the old “violence is so much more tolerated than sex/nudity in our culture, wtf?” whine, it’s a damn good point.
If I had to witness and explain a real (not just on TV) act of violence to my child, it would tear me up. I would truly be at an emotional loss and I’d feel terrible about it. If something happened like in the OP (seeing a naked woman in public) and my child asked me about it, I’d laugh my ass off.
Anyway, I know that’s a tangent but I really doubt your child is scarred for life. Hell, he’s a lucky boy, and now you both have a story to tell.

I dream of the day that a naked woman suddenly appears before me. I’ve given up all my other dreams by now due to the harsh facts of reality. It’s really the only dream I have left. Please don’t crush my dream, Little Nemo.
[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic]
Was actual sex being photographed or was it just a naked woman?
Because if it’s the latter, I think you’re overreacting.

I agree. It’s a human body; get over it.
In what manner was her bush “tacky”, is what I want to know.
Did you touch it and found your hand sticking to it?
Did it perhaps carry sponsorship?
Or was it shorn into a tasteless shape, such as an anchor or a clown face?

Since I’m scared by clowns, that would make oral sex a conflicted experience for me.
“Kiss the clown, honey.”

“Kiss his laughing face.”

Getting over a naked 20yo model might not be something you want to be doing with a 10yo kidling watching.
