Would our society be better if everyone walked around nude except in inclement weather?

if that were actually the case... then societies would have developed towards that end

it is not the case in most cases

TL:DR... mosquitoes

[Weapon77]

That's definitely one way to look at it! But keep in mind how many tribes walk around naked around mosquitos all the time despite how big a problem malaria is. They just keep swtting themselves up for bad things, and you have to wonder why.

And our society in 1st world countries is developed enough that natural patterns hardly apply now. We could instate forms of nudity if we REALLY wanted to. Look at how unnatural cosmetic surgery is, yet here we are doing it. It is obviously worse for people, yet here it is spreading. So your initial argument has some merit but also some holes

[NathanDavis]

they do say that malaria has killed half of the humans that ever existed (also estimated to be around 100 billion human) so, that's definitely a lot of societies gone and done...

cosmetic surgery is not that much of an epidemic... tribes are not thriving today either, they're surviving, and barely

at the end of the day... being naked does not bring greater benefit to us as a society

[Weapon77]

100 billion? By modern estimates, about 109 billion people have died TOTAL. Like in all of history, and VERY few of them died of malaria. Maybe you skimmed an article and missed something. But only about 5 billion or fewer likely died of malaria. So it's only a major threat in areas with stagnant water (which is very fee places). Places eith flowing water would likely be fine. Eh, the Himba tribe is actually thriving, and they aren't the only tribe that practices nudity and toplessness. You might want to do more research before forming your opinions and sharing them.

But I totally agree that nudity seems stupid innmost cases for like 90% of the planet. So it's baffling how many women in America want to free the nipple 😂 I think they just want attention

[NathanDavis]

being constantly threatened by famine, war and modern infrastructure to the point in which many of them end up as refugees...

not my idea of thriving

their very way of life is about subsisting by default

[jshm2]

No. Don't be fucking stupid.

Nudist colonies exist, but none are productive spaces.

[Weapon77]

Agreed. And I'd argue that the same applies to how much coverage the clothing has. Really wish we could get that through the heads of some people...

[Anonymous]

Doubtful. There would be a lot more sexual assault on both genders.

[Weapon77]

Seems likely. But then I wonder about how it works for several South American and African tribes who are nude or mostly nude all the time. And what about nudist colonies? What makes those work?

They makes special anti-rape protection for young girls in a lot of countries. Look it up.
