Meaning? I’m not sure what you’re focused on there.
He means that 40-50 years ago no one thought a negative thing about a pix of a naked baby, because no one thought about pedophiles {they were very rare, because if found out, they were 'disappeared'}.
My brother was home on leave from the Navy when my daughter was one year old and he brought her a {tot sized} Navy hat and blouse.
We took her pix with the hat, blouse, no pants, pack of Camel cigarettes and bottle of JTS Brown {my brother's favorite bourbon}, cutest baby pix you've ever seen.
Every family member that has ever seen that pix never gave a second thought that a one year old had no pants on.
In today's warped world, you could get 15 years in the slammer, just for possession of such a pix...BTW, the pix is long gone, it was lost in a flood that also took about a dozen of my guns.
Kind of like the Coppertone billboards, back when children weren’t considered sex objects.

That’s the problem - prosecutorial abuse. Along with the lack of common sense.
“BTW, the pix is long gone, it was lost in a flood that also took about a dozen of my guns.”

You can replace the guns, but not the photos. We’re probably the last generation who’s baby pics didn’t come off of cellphones and there’s a lot of wonderful memories of people, times & places on those old film pics.
