Why are we so concious about being naked? We are born naked, so why do we comport ourselves in clothing? For one part it is to conceal our sexual organs, which is understandable as its not exactly prefereable to have genitals near food. What my concern is our society's foolish problems with sexuality. Sex is natural, we believe it was created by God and that He said it was good. So why do we constantly infer sex or portray it in clever ways or use it to sell materiel goods? Sex is not something that has to be hidden, what is neccessary is that people understand its use and do not abuse it. We should not fear explaining it nor seeing it portrayed in movies and tv. Sex at its core is about procreation, what man in our "concious" state have made it simply about dominance and made it ugly. Dominance is a dangerous concept for man, it begets violence and warps our institutions and creates enmity. How much more peaceful could the world be if people were not so bent on dominating others? Sex should not be abused, like anything it can be addictive simply for the pleasure it brings, but pleasure is a basic experience and repeating an action simply for pleasure makes us more like the lower animals.
"Consider your origin; ye were not made to live as brutes, but to pursue virtue and knowledge."- Dante; Hell
I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Acting like animals pushes us farther from God, or at least a higher purpose, cause without purpose we might as well just all destroy ourselves. Everything in moderation is the way to live life. Do not allow any material thing to rule your life, whether it be sex, cigarettes, heroin, marajuana, gambling, etc... Accept that in life there will inevitably be suffering and that nothing you do will ever fully remove loss in your life, but appreciate life for the gift that it is. Dont feel compelled to buy into the rat race to give your life meaning chasing after the possibility of fulfillment on earth. Be naked once in a while its a freeing experience, do not think of it as shameful or degrading, just natural and beautiful. But exercise good judgement in all you do and do not force your beliefs on anyone just because you believe your beliefs are the answer.
