And I'm still not sure why 5 year olds and adult being naked is different. This is the question I keep asking that nobody seems to have an answer to. They say kids aren't sexual... I don't think there's anything inherently sexual about an adult being naked either. So what's the difference? And why is it fine to snap a photo of your kid (without their consent) totally nude, put it on a calendar and mail it around the world to family? If your kid snapped a photo of you in the shower and slapped it on the calendar without your input (maybe they thought it'd be a fun surprise for mom), how would you react when all your family started getting a big color spread to hang on their wall of you totally nude? Would you feel comfortable with it? So why is it ok to do that to your child? Because they don't know any better?
social construct also dictates that we say "excuse me" after we burp ... a totally natural process ... it also says we shouldn't piss on a tree although it's ok for a dog to ... what you're asking involves this whole thing of societals do's and don'ts ...
if i had to guess at an answer - i would say maybe that kids aren't concerned in general with their body image - only when they start getting fed the social norms at a later age do they get self-conscious at which point - they would probably not run around the beach naked ... or maybe they will ...
So you wouldn't be ok with being on a calendar in the same form that you would willingly put your kids on one?

i have no kids ... if i did - would not put my kids on a calendar as it's tacky to me ... if someone wants to put their kids in a calendar - it's fine by me ... it's also fine by me if they want to put themselves in a calendar ... naked or otherwise ...

Fair enough.
