Because some people are hotter than others.

Only fat people are offended by sexy people being nude....and vice versa.

I was going to make a reference to Adam and Eve about that one. Good old censorship right from the bible.

Its cultural... When i was in Holland, i was talking to some locals... in school there guys and girls changed in the same locker room. The change room at public pools were co-ed as well. Bet lots of you couldn't imagine a co-ed change room in high school. To them its not even thought of as strange.

I guess it's easier to get work done without nudity?

quite possible... but the greeks were around for quite a while... and they had many differing concepts and ideas.

greek concept of logos -> zoroastrianism -> judeo-christianism

I don't know about you, but I sure dont enjoy running with my third leg dragging on the floor.

I wonder that as well. It is completely natural; there is nothing to be "ashamed of" or "embarassed" about. Why is it that the average child sees 10,000 murders on TV by the time he's 16, yet he can't even see another person's naked body? Is society saying that killing another human being is more acceptable than seeing someone naked? Even if you take it further and talk about sex, sex is still perfectly natural and there is nothing inherently taboo in it. If there was, the human race wouldn't survive past a generation. I think I once wrote a multi-page paper on something like this.

As far as I'm concerned, I think its because some religions like to think that humans are far and away more superior than animals, and this is just one of the ways they demonstrate it. Animals may run around unclothed, but god forbid humans actually stoop to such a level of primal simplicity. It's just another one of those absurd "humans were created to be masters of the earth" ideals.

I started a thread about this a long time ago, and everyone basically responded with "because it's gross."
