Are we really naked as nature intended?

Not really where you live, but how long you've been there.  Skin conductance plays a big part, as does metabolism.  Indoors/outdoors also plays a factor.  72 degrees is just a median in a range of temperatures from the 100s to the 50s that naked well-fed people could eventually adapt to or feel some degree of comfort in without dying.

Most people in our culture are taught at a very young age that nudity is wrong if not sinful, and one should cover his or her private assets when not in the privacy of his or her own shower or bathroom.  This belief stems from the Puritanical religious beliefs on which this nation was built.  Unfortunately,this early childhood conditioning often backfires later in life with such things as repressed sexuality, fear of intimacy, and most of all an uncomfortable feeling with being nude (even in the privacy of one's own home).  \n\nBTW, I'm typing this entry in the nude!\n\nCheers!

I don't like being naked unless I am alone.  I am insecure out my body.  If I could be by myself constantly to drive, mow my lawn, swim, cook, clean, etc I would.  I hate the confines of clothing and shoes and have been that way since I was a kid.  I guess if I were more fit I would be a nudist!

"NAKED HIKING ON NATIONAL FOREST LAND"\nhttp://www.theplacewithnoname.com/hiking/sections/naked/nationalforest.htm\n\n"Frequently I hear naturists make the claim, 'There is no law regarding simple nudity on Federal (National Forest Service (NFS)) land.' While that may be true on some NFS land, it isn't true on all Federal land. Also, just because there isn't a Federal law governing an activity, that does NOT mean that the activity is actually legal.\n...\nThis is based entirely within the NFS rules. Section 261.58: Occupancy and use. 'When provided by an order, the following are prohibited:' - and Being publicly nude is one of the prohibited activities. \n\nWhat does 'Being publicly nude' mean? \n\n36 CFR 261.2 Definitions \n\nPublicly nude means nude in any place where a person may be observed by another person. Any person is nude if ..."\n\n"Laws about Nudism"\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/nudism1.htm\n\n"Federal law: No federal US federal law that either allows or prohibits nudity. The courts have not ruled whether the right to engage in naturism is guaranteed by the Constitution under its freedom of expression provision. Thus, the legality of various forms of undress is currently left up to the individual states and localities to decide. Nudity is generally allowed in some areas of some national parks, unless local laws have overriding jurisdiction."

No.  It speaks to the fallacy of the assumption that we are not animals.\n\nWe spend a hugely inordinate amount of time and energy pursuing sexual activity.  We're as driven by it as any other animal.  We may like to spin stories about the nobilities of our loves and lusts, but at the end of the day, it's the same instinct that inspires rabbits.  Or salmon.  Or any of the many creatures which mate for life, or unto death.  \n\nAny social creation such as law, religion, or tradition which purports to moderate or control behavior is only as evolved as its creators.   Our preoccupation with things sexual reflects our  nature.

Nudists work up a tan just like anyone else. Sunscreen, exposure and shade when their skin has had enough sun. But because they don't wear clothes unless nature or society outside their group requires it, nudists also get wind burned which helps keep their skin tanned so they can withstand more sun.\n\nThink about driving your car with your window down on a cloudy day. You are wearing a t-shirt and your arm is resting in the window. Even though the sun is hidden behind clouds you can still end up with your arm looking sun burned from exposure to the wind.\n\nThe combination of sun and wind can keep their skin tanned longer so they don't need as much protection as a non-nudist does.

A walk on the beach at sunset. A blanket with some wine and good things to snack on. Secluded. Getting naked slowly and deliberately or maybe doing the wild thing partially clothed. But the warmth from the sun and two bodies together makes things very sexy and romantic.

Full nudity is way better than some of the weird getups that people wear.  Nudity rocks.  Most men don't fantasize about the body, it is having sex

Short answer: No\n\nLong answer:\nWhen you are nude with other people in a social environment where sex is not the main focus you soon "forget" that they are in fact all naked.  You are still aware of that fact but, the shock value disappears very quickly.\n\nYou then find yourself interacting with them in the same way that you would had you been clothed.  You see people that you find attractive and others that you don't.  What would be rude would be to gawk, staring at someones crotch all the time would probably make them feel uneasy.  People who gawk and make others feel uneasy would probably be asked to leave.\n\nNow, the following may not be true at all nudist places but at the places my wife and I frequent people are very open about things.  They tend to chat very quickly, make newcomers feel at home and generally just have a good time.  There, when you get to know people better and because of the mutual respect people have they find it easier to talk about their bodies, you can compliment someone because they have a good figure, nice legs, beautifully pierced n*pples and not have to fear that they will take it in a negative way.  The checking out really becomes a conversation between two people rather than someone trying to catch a peek without being noticed.\n\nBut, in general, everybody knows that people are checking one another out.  It's a normal part of being human and when done in moderation it's perfectly fine and hey, let's face it it's fun.\n\nI do want to make it clear that when reading the above some people may think that you now have to look like a model to fit in but, this is not true at all.  When you are there you find that everyone has something that is worth checking out.  Most importantly, you realise that you have features that people want to check out, not because of anything sexual, but because   they genuinely find it beautiful at a human level.  Someone may have nice legs but no bust, one guy may be very well hung but have a belly or have really nice hands but a sensitive skin so they aren't very tanned.  An important side-effect of this is that you soon find yourself "checking out" personalities.  You begin to see people as not just bodies but, because they physically don't "hide" anything, their inner beauty becomes more prominent.  You find yourself "checking out" people you wouldn't normally, since they aren't magazine pretty, but because they take pride in the bodies they have rather that hide away because they fear that they will not live up to other peoples expectations.

Most likely we will be clothed in light. Don't know, but God has it covered. ;)  Also remember that shame will no longer be an issue, so we may be clothed in a spiritual garment that is a part of our being.

I don't know about your scenario, but I could not run naked where I am. I am stationed in Afghanistan with the Army. I could not go nude here because of the environment. It is over 100 degrees today in Kandahar and the wind, dust, insects and rough terrain would make things unbearable. All things to consider. The sun will burn your skin in about 10 minutes of exposure to it's rays. Without clothing, you dehydrate faster. My feet are not accustomed to walking on hot rocks and sand. The exposure of so much skin puts me at risk of getting bitten by every insect that wants to get me. And, I would get in trouble with my commander for being out of uniform.

AS LONG AS WE ARE NAKED, COUNT ME IN...

No because we don't just wear clothes to keep us warm but also to cover our private parts and protect us from other elements and also injury.
