Difference between nude and naked

Tous à Poil

I READ with interest about the French picture book Tous à Poil (Everybody Gets Naked) by Claire Franek and Marc Daniau, which shows people of all shapes, sizes and ages disrobing and jumping into the sea.

This is a book that will never be sold in a Malaysian bookstore for, although it contains nothing of a sexual nature (which might be deemed unsuitable for children), I believe a naked body is considered a sexual object by the powers-that-be. Thus, Tous à Poil would be seen as a work of pornography – obscene and likely to have a degenerative affect on our children’s morals.
