Well, you don't have to get into any of that in the fics...*g* But actually, what all that kinda boils down to is that here in the USA, we freak out about nudity. Personally, I wish the human body were viewed more like the natural thing that it is, but the world we live in is such that nakedness = SEX!!!11one. Legally, I could go out topless right now, but I won't because people would either ogle me or freak out. ...Plus it's cold.
