In the final sentence of the third paragraph of Sex and Gender Differences > Male Nudity (which begins "During women's weekly swim..."), change the word "insure" to "ensure" so the phrase correctly reads "to ensure hygiene." Brawlboy3794 (talk) 21:54, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

Done. —VeryRarelyStable 00:09, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

In 'Notes' c, in the German text "Verpöhnt ist […] der Versuch, sich in Badekleidung […] unter die Nackten zu mischen", verpöhnt should be spelled verpönt. The translation of the same excerpt (Pampered is the attempt […] to mix in bathing clothes among the naked ones) -- I suggest "Trying to mix with naked bathers while dressed is frowned on."

Thanks for that; II have updated to match. I changed "mix" to "mingle" as my (admittedly very limited) understanding of German makes that a slightly better fit. Feel free to change further. Jtrevor99 (talk) 04:27, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

For the last sentence on the third paragraph, please remove the part “that provided alternatives to sexualization.” The sentence was not about sexualization and there are no sources to back this part up. ~2025-33290-12 (talk) 00:17, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: Here's the latter part of the relevant paragraph:
Although improper dress might be socially embarrassing, the association of nudity with sin regarding sexuality began with Judeo-Christian societies, spreading through Europe in the post-classical period. Traditional clothing in temperate regions worldwide also reflect concerns for maintaining social status and order, as well as by necessity due to the colder climate. However, societies such as Japan and Finland maintain traditions of communal nudity based upon the use of baths and saunas that provided alternatives to sexualization. (emphasis added)
This paragraph is partly about sexuality, so this makes sense to me in this context. You are free to continue to discuss this, but please do not re-open the template until consensus has formed from discussion. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 01:28, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

"In many European countries, women may sunbathe without covering their breasts" image

I'm wondering why the face of the person on the "European beaches" image was blurred before inclusion? This blur was added to the photo it was sourced from. Given its context within the article and the other images, I hope I don't need to say more (but I can if needed), it leaves a very bad taste. — HermannusAlemannus (talk) 21:59, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

You might get answers if you ask at the file's Talk page on Wikimedia Commons. Generally when something like this is done to a photo it's because it's unclear whether the person depicted would want to be identifiable in such an image. There is a link to the unpixellated original (on Flickr) from the file's Wikimedia information page. —VeryRarelyStable 06:41, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Innapropriate

Please delete the photos of the children as it is sexualizing them ~2026-60867-9 (talk) 17:30, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Did you not read at the top of this page that Wikipedia is not censored? If you object to the images, you may delete them from the article yourself, or leave a message on the uploader's talk page. JHVipond (talk) 19:51, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
