Nudity or nakedness is the state of wearing no clothing. It is sometimes used to refer to wearing significantly less clothing than expected by the conventions of a particular culture and situation, and in particular exposing the bare skin of intimate parts, I am glad that is out in the open…
Although nude and naked have the same objective meaning (i.e. not covered by clothing) and a common origin, they have differing subjective connotations, which partly match their differing etymologies (”nude” originally had a meaning of “plain, bare, unadorned” in a broader sense when introduced into English from Latin “nudus”, while “naked” derives from the common early English word for “unclothed” that is cognate with “nudus”).
Some consider one term more appropriate than the other, some don’t.
As a general rule, public nudity is not considered “proper” in most societies. There are, however, many exceptions and particular circumstances in which nudity is tolerated, accepted, or even encouraged.
In general and across cultures, most restrictions are found for exposure of those parts of the human body that put in evidence sexual arousal between male and female adults. Therefore, sex organs and women’s breasts are often covered, even when other parts of the body may be freely uncovered.
Nakedness (full or partial) can be part of a corporal punishment or as an imposed humiliation (especially when administered in public). In fact, torture manuals may distinguish between the male and female psychological aversion from self-exposure versus being disrobed.
What the fuck, nudity is a love of all things God made.
