Controversy
The spread of naked parties has sparked international controversy. Some students do not like the idea of their school being associated with them, and these concerns have been discussed in different works of literature, such as Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons, and Natalie Krinsky, who turned her on-campus sex and relationship column into a novel, Chloe Does Yale, where the main character remarks that "Yalies shouldn't be naked. We are smart. Smart people are not attractive people."
Religious groups have attempted to have the parties banned in some municipalities, and an oft-cited column appeared in Christianity Today called "What to Say at a Naked Party," which cited concerns about sexual assault and objective morality.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
