Why is nudity embarrassing?

[lovehurts]

Because I have three nipples. People call me a circus freak.

In "The man with the golden gun"....The bad guy had 3 nipples too.
An unserious response for what I hope is an unserious post....

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.

Amen to what the 3 of you said. I like to be naked, and to be around others who do as well. Many cultures are not as hung up about nudity as most people in the U.S. are. At home, (in the U.S.) I was brought up to feel that nudity was shameful, and sexual; and nude beaches were places that only dirty old men hung out hoping to catch a glimpse of some naughty bits. But, thankfully, my experiences at clothing-optional beaches in other countries have changed my perception of the human body for the better.

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'd like it.

[boris no no]

I speant too much on my clothes.
Not going to let them go to waste on someone elses body

Everybody have something they're ashamed of concerning their body. Why expose your most vulnerable spot for the world to laugh at?

I don't have a vulnerable spot, so I'm more than happy to go starkers. I tihnk it's learned behaviour more than anything else. I've never really been taught that nudity is something evil or rude (not that I was brought up a naturist or anything), so the sight of people naked usually doesn't bother me.

Because it's ingrained into your mind by society.

I have to agree. My kids had to be thaught not to run around naked in the neighborhood. My 5 year old still does it every once in a while

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Because women wouldn't have anything to shop for, otherwise.

[Zeldy]

It just is >_< People are paranoid.

[KentaRawr!]

Nudity is embarrasing because you get pictures of yourself all over the internet.

>_> Integrated into society.

I have a third nipple. IT is actually a suggestive mole, but yea - I can cough up a picture if yall need - it is sexy.

Because it's like walking around in a banana suit with a pink umbrella. No one else is doing it.

However, it probably wouldn't be so embarassing if everyone else went naked.

[fantasyjunkie]

I have never been embarrassed by nudity. I just could never understand why people make such a big deal out of it.

We've been brought up wearing clothes for all of our lives (or most of us have, I hope). Of course we're going to find it embarrassing; it's natural.

Because I have three nipples. People call me a circus freak.

>>> I cried aloud with mirth and merriment..

>>> I think its embarrassing when you are ashamed of your body, like being fat or something..
You know, if i had the perfect body I always wanted I would be running naked through the streets right now..

I got no problems being naked. It's all a matter of self image, If you don't like what you got, or constantly compare it to what everyone else thinks about it or to other people's own bodies, thats when you get self concious and embarrassed

Or you could go with seinfeld theory. Your uncomfortable naked, because you got nothing to adjust. no pockets, wasitlines, ties, hats, etc. you can't adjust to make yourself feel just slightly better than before.


On a slight sidenote, does anyone else agree that it's slightly ridiculous that women tend to feel more embarrassed naked than men do? The female body is so much more... artistic than a mans body. we got stuff thats just like... stuck on there. females are very... fluid? i suppose thats a good word. smooth curves and whatnot, as opposed to having a large thing just kinda stuck between our legs, almost like it was an afterthought.
