Personally, I’d be fine with just allowing nudity and normalising it…at least at pools. That would take away all its power.

You think if all the women in the pool are naked that boobs will no longer have any appeal? This is complete nonsense.

I definitely get the sense that Germans are a lot less prudish than anglophones are, and they don't even have nudity allowed at all pools...just at a few relatively-easily-accessible public spaces.

It's not about "no longer having any appeal", it's about taking away the shock value.

I've been to clothing optional festivals and for the first day you look, then afterwards it just becomes the norm and you barely even notice.
