Why is it awkward when someone wanders around completely naked but acceptable when wearing extremely revealing clothes?

[Anonymous]

When people see a naked person in public, that's not acceptable; but, when they barely cover some parts it gets acceptable?

[FunkyMonkee]

You're ALLOWED to walk around with your nipples showing,, as long as you have SOMETHING covering them, even if it's less than 100% transparent! I was waiting for a bus downtown one night when I walked past a police car with a female cop talking to a prostitute (I know she was because she hit ME up a week or so before!) and she was wearing a fishnet t-shirt!! The holes were big enough that you could EASILY see her nipples but the coppette just stood there for a good while talking to her like they were buddies!!

[Asker]

Why do you think that's the case?
Why are nipples sexual?

[FunkyMonkee]

I have to wonder if the hooker was actually also a cop under cover trying to bust guys for getting together with prostitutes.
As for nipples being sexual, most likely it's because we're not SUPPOSED to see them. About 100 years or so ago, if you saw a woman''s naked ankle it was very risque!

[NoOneEver]

I think mystery and allure keeps a persons interest whereas if someone is naked, it’s psychologically easier to associate the person with low moral fiber.. And they assume if this person is letting everyone see their goods, it makes them less special, which is more likely true in more cases than not.. but yeah, humans are judgmental over just about everything..

It's just like Halloween when you can dress like a slut and it's considered as being just a costume. On the beach you can wear as little as you can get away with and it's considered just a bathing suit. *shakes head*

[soe11]

Well explained, I do agree with you.👍👌

[modeve]

Complete nudity in public and wearing revealing dress are two different aspects; the former is considered obscene and highly objectionable while the latter is indecent.

[modeve]

Thanks for MHG.

[soe11]

Every outfits for suitable place, functions, climate of wether, and being a nude as well.
• For nude, nude beach.
• For bikini, swimming pool and beach or poolside party.
• For uniform, office duties, schools so on.
Every outfits are acceptable according to environment.

[Asker]

So, people should wear as majority in that environment?

[jobego]

i think it's both pretty awkward to people I don't know i guess the full nude a bit more because of the genitals
i honestly don't mind anyone being nude. gives you something to look at

[Asker]

People do fetishize many things, what is so special with genitalia?
And more importantly, breast is not genitalia

[jobego]

I don't know what's so bad about it. but seeing someone's genitalia is sexual.
breasts aren't no haha but naked does include penis and vagina

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

Actually while they could be considered sexual by the same standard the mouth and fingers could be as well. Since all of them can cause sexual arousal or pleasure. However we don't normally (before COVID) walk around with mask and gloves so we don't "offend people" instead we walk talk even shake hand with others.

[Sbsbsbdnd]

are u really expecting men to not see a vagina in a sexual way? lol, u can say genitals aren't sexual all u want, but u can't stop guys from seeing them in a sexual way, what he does in his mind isn't in ur controll lol

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

Okay hypothetical question... You were born in a nudist colony, raises in a nudist colony Never Once leaving said colony (much like the Amish have their own community) then one day you're brought to a city suddenly here are all of these people running around covered up some much more then others... How shocked and awkward would seeing all of those people running around be to you? Now as another example your child walks into the room while your naked... They just ask why do you look like. The reason is they haven't been conditioned to see it as sexual (taboo, something that shouldn't be shown or seen by others) so it holds little to no interest. Now if society were to change to a nudist society in no more then 2 or 3 generations (30-40 years) there would be no obsession over the human body.

[CheeseMonster]

At a beach or pool*

In public in general? Pretty sure that would still be awkward.

[Asker]

Well, especially in hot climates; You can see women wearing revealing clothes or sth like a bikini while doing sports.

[CheeseMonster]

Sports are like swimming, same principle.

[Princess_shruti]

It is not like that, as of in my place or country.

can't say about others..

[soe11]

You country allow?

[Sbsbsbdnd]

the bigger question is, why are animals like apes, dogs, gorillas, pigs cows and such allowed to wonder around naked in nature, when we are animals too?
were jus more evolved and intelligent animals

[FunkyMonkee]

ALL animals (except us) walk around naked.

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

Side note to me it would be awesome not awkward. :P

[VikingWarLord]

Many cultures still walk around completely NAKED to this day.
There is nothing evil about NUDITY.

[FunkyMonkee]

You got THAT right!! Animals run around naked all their lives!! We were born that way! No reason at all we HAVE to live that way.

[Yellovv]

Because in real life girls doesn't have that courage to do that...

[Asker]

Do you think that's why it's weird?
wearing revealing clothes also requires courage

[Yellovv]

I mean girls can't able to wear them in real life, they are just teasing...

[Asker]

I saw a lot of girls wander around with them. Celebrities are no exception

[Yellovv]

I like to see girls naked bodies also..

[Anonymous]

Actually, its not acceptable for a lot of people in either case.

[Asker]

I saw plenty of women in revealing clothes that get by with no problem. Same can't be said for nudes

[Opinion Owner]

I do too, but when girls dress like that all the time, it can give some guys the wrong impression.

[ChrisMaster69]

Is that same outfit acceptable in church?

[Asker]

No, but in public

[ChrisMaster69]

We have this thing called social standards.

For example in a lot of places guys and girls can go topless on the beach, however if entering a cafe or bar alongside the beach, they must wear a top.

The same reason (roughly) as to why you can’t wear a bikini to church is the same reason about being naked in public.

I go to nudist beaches and camps, so the nude thing does not phase me, however it’s when you say public, you don’t really want people wandering around shopping centres naked or in bikinis even.

[Asker]

Who sets this "social convention"

[ChrisMaster69]

Society and also local bylaws

You look at say Saudi Arabia, you could not even wear that at the beach.

Equally a lot of places where I live you could not wear it as pubs would throw the girl out.

[Tstrbrainer]

Yeah, more women should walk around naked

[AnnonEMouse]

Yes I agree.

[888theGreat]

Not everywhere

[Asker]

most places in western Europe, it is

[lycanthrope3]

Laws

[Asker]

Laws only reflect general view of topics. What I wonder is why people are afraid of complete nudity while only 2-piece small clothing is acceptable?

[lycanthrope3]

did not say i agreed, just that is the way it is
