Looking for thoughts about an ENx story element

[PhilMarlowe]

Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series has basically all character naked. Both the male lead (John Carter) and the female lead (Princess Deja Thoris).

I bet lots of teenage boys read those books for that story element.

Hmm. On the one hand, starting at birth/preschool/kindergarten would give parents things to put in the photo album from the beginning to show their friends when they came over. On the other hand, you'd be kind of used to it by the time the puberty fairy came to visit.

I mean maybe they were singular photographs until middle school. And then they started doing group inspections out of nowhere because there are too many students to schedule single examinations.

That would be a nice touch, having them going in with kind of a resigned eye roll of "well, it's one quick picture and it's over" only to find out it's now much more.

That has potential. Using your idea of group photography, maybe this happens in the auditorium that's divided by a curtain, boys on one side girls on the other. The target gets cornered near the curtain and teased about his size and he gives his excuse. Then one of the other boys gets a willing girl to come over to the curtain which they part. This is the first nude girl the target has ever seen and despite his embarrassment gets as hard as he's ever been and yeah, it's still small, which leads to several other girls coming to look and now he's being teased by everyone.

Maybe he has a girlfriend and she comes over and starts ogling ALL of the other boys instead of him?

Mm, that'd turn things up a notch.

You ever read Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters? Everybody has to get naked to prove they’re not being controlled by alien slugs. That dude loved his nudism.

I've read a fair amount of Heinlein but not that one. He had some ideas about sex and nudity that certainly were outside the norm especially for the time.

I read that for the first time when I was a teenager.
