This is a serious question: why exactly do we have laws and stigmas against nudity?
I think it's strange that such laws and attitudes exist because our most natural state is in the nude. We are born nude and our bodies are just vehicles and representations of ourselves. Now, I understand why you would want someone to wear clothes in places like a grocery store or restaurant, or work, or school. I don't exactly want someone's nutsack next to the salad bar, either, but what about in other contexts? Why did we ever have the public breastfeeding stigma when such a thing is not only perfectly natural, but optimal for the the health of the baby? Why isn't every beach a nude beach?
It feels weird that we tend to see others' bodies as an offense. I mean, some peoples' bodies are aesthetically offensive, but we can always find something offensive about someone. Like in Victorian England and Islam, women are covered up for the sake of their modesty, but is that just a projection that most men are inherently animalistic baboons incapable of regulating their sexual urges? Or is that an issue of other insecurity on the part of the moderators? What if that indirectly fetishizes women because it sensitizes people to sexuality instead of desensitizing them to the human body? Why do the Japanese blur the sexual organs in pornography when you can clearly discern what is happening?
Where do you think the stigma comes from? Is it psychological, biological and/or evolutionary and what are your opinions on it?
