38. Your problem is with molesters seeing children naked?
There's a disconnect in your logic, I just misidentified it at first. See naked children isn't molestation, no matter what it makes you feel. Child molesters don't always act on their impulses, otherwise they'd be easier to spot. Also, seeing a naked child doesn't make someone, even a pedophile, automatically molest that child.

Nudity laws don't protect children from child molesters - child molestation and sexual predation laws do. Having no nudity laws doesn't mean everyone would walk around naked. In fact, if one were passed today, very few more people would feel comfortable enough to take all of their clothes off in public. Children and teens, for the most part, would be no more naked or in danger from molesters than they are anyway.

Previously, I hypothesized that your problem with nudity laws was a moralistic one, which may be the case, but it is also possible that you are simply comfortable making leaps of logic where I am not.
