    Jiggle? Wobble? I don't jiggle or wobble. I flap. In the wind.

    Nudity is embarassing because depending on your culture, nudity is associated with sex, and if you're ever seen naked, and you haven't planned it, you feel like you're being raped. It's even weirder when a family member sees you naked. :(

    One day about 6500 years ago, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, even though God (PBUH) had told them to stay away. This fruit gave them knowledge of good and evil, and this is the first point at which mankind became ashamed of their nakedness. For lo, it is written:

    6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

    7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

    Jebus and Stayin Dizzy are dead on. We are told right from when we can understand that nudity is bad and clothes are good. It's even a law to stay clothed right? But look in some countries they either are naked or wearing very little because clothes are not a custom in their country. But who knows, in the next 100 years half the people could be naked. About 100 years if someone walked by in a bikini or the like, everyone would've stared. It's not a big deal now.

    It's because we have been brought up to believe it is embarresing and socially unacceptable.

    Also, so I do not outshine everyone.

    I'm not physically attractive, and it only gets worse if I am not wearing any clothes. I would definitely be embarassed if I ended up naked in public.

    I see both ways in this, and you have to keep your mind open to other peoples sensitivities and taboos, like being naked. Personally, I wouldn't mind being in a Nudist Colony aside from the fact I would probably catch a sickness in the colder weather and die ><.

    hahaha...nice...

    Anyways, to us, its very embarrassing to walk up in a street all naked up, you know..? Some might take it as an insult, and some might see it differently...gets? I mean,some might mistaken you as a pok-pok, a famous term in Filipino teenagers that means prostitute. And yeah, it does feel awkward to have SOoOo many people stare at you in an odd way. And, it is also embarrassing to let people see the parts of your body which you don't want them to see, and some people get conscious of themselves.

    ArGghh..i don't know.. I'm not making any sense...

    I say we should all make a statement and show up at the white house naked, for people in other countries, come here and show up in front of the white house anyway. I'll bring the Camera. He'll have old Manus bring the signs, he's bound to come up with some witty slogen to sell the Idea.
