Well, glad to see some of you have a since of humor about the question.
Well it wasn't a serious question,was it?

Yes. Nude Belly Dancing occurs when someone bellydances while nude. It's considered more aesthetically appealing than Nude Tapdancing, and it's more common than Nude Tobogganing, but it's not nearly as popular as other things people do while naked. :yay::yay:
I don't know of any sites for Nude Belly Dancing, but I'm sure if you create one, the viewers will come. :shok: :lol:
I would spend all my $ on glitter. If all my stuff is gonna be hanging out, I'm gonna glitter it up! Might as well be sparkly!

OMG Shira! How did you maintain composure? That is sooo funny!
Some of them parts is pretty funny just hangin' around.
Just curious, is there a such thing as Nude Belly dancing? if so are there any sites for that type of thing?
A long while ago I came across a question and answer web site that dealt with Islamic law but for the life of me cannot remember which one it was. A lady inquired as to whether topless belly dance was permissable under Islamic law. The reply was that, yes, it is permissable. However, it was "made wicked" by the presence of men and/or by the presence of lesbians.
With all due respects to this religion, I found the idea to be a bit too prejudiced.
To me, prejudice arises when double standards are applied. Society has no difficulty with men and women in attendance at performances of topless men dancing. Gender orientation of the viewership (and the idea of any possible carnality) is held to be inconsequential. In theory (if we are to have an unprejudiced society) it should be equally open minded when it comes to females engaging in the same type of performance notwithstanding the audience or gender orientation or the possibility of carnality of its membership.
However, belly dance, West African tribal dance, and South seas dance all began well before today's religions did.
I was specifically excluding those areas of the world and cultures where exposure of the female breasts is normal and non-erotic. Topless belly dancing would also most likely be non erotic no matter what the gender/sexual orientation of the audience if conducted in a nudist/naturist club..............would apply to most societies where the breasts are normally covered.
If you take that statement to it’s logical conclusion then society and the Abrahamic religions should not have a prejudice against human sacrifice either, though I accept that’s taking it to the extreme!You are correct when you say that most religions may have given the same answer. However, belly dance, West African tribal dance, and South seas dance all began well before today's religions did. And society's prejudices against these forms of entertainment began when Abrahamic religion expanded its influence.
This is the nub of the whole discussion, in my humble opinion. Belly dancing is not “made wicked” by the presence of anyone. Belly dance, as it is promoted by the vast majority of users of this forum, is not an erotic dance form. It is only seen that way by people who don’t know what it’s about but think they do. THAT’S where prejudice comes in!… Its teachers are certainly entitled to their opinion. However, the idea that an art or cultural form is "made wicked" because of the presence of people of a different gender or gender orientation seems a bit prejudiced to me.
Expertise (or at least a small measure of knowledge) is something that is freely available.Wish I could claim some measure of expertise on Oriental dance but, alas, cannot make such a claim without my nose growing like George Bush's. Woops, make that, like Pinocchio's.
