A film about the consequences of public nudity
Our immediate ancestors didn’t start clothing themselves until around 170,000 years ago. This means that for 2.5 million years, humans walked the Earth completely naked.
It was Christian theology that saw the body — especially the female body — as a corruption of the human soul and hence in need of concealment.
This gave rise to the first patterns of shame and embarrassment around nudity. The age of obscuration was under way. And there seemed to be some correlation between devotion to God and a misguided zeal for demonisation.
Once we were aware that our nudity made us objects of desire, we became naked.
A nude body has to be seen as an object in order to become sexualised.
Walking around nude in front of humans was not a good way to keep a low profile with the community. It was an excellent way to make new friends, though.
Absolute nakedness was viewed as intrusive and confusing to the senses. The sight of the naked body gradually became less common and more shameful, even in private.
Our naked bodies were scrutinised, hyper-sexualised, and treated as vulgar, inappropriate and sometimes downright dangerous.
However, when the naked female body was explicitly displayed to provide a pleasurable spectacle for men in the 1950’s, it became a whole different story.
In those magazines, a woman was beautiful only if she was naked beneath her clothes.
Today, our visual diet is populated with images of naked hyper-sexualised bodies — most of them representing one narrow body type: thin and lean.
So, the nakedness we are most familiar with is rarely our own.
This, in turn, adds another layer of shame around our bodies: the shame of not looking quite the way we are ‘supposed’ to.
The patterns of shame, embarrassment, guilt, and even disgust that tightly veil the human body do not help us become more ‘civilised’. If anything, in many ways, they set us back.
There are still a few cultures and places in Europe where nudity is nothing extraordinary. And there’s one thing those places have in common — it is how little those people care about nakedness.
There’s no staring, no gawking, no harassment. No one is particularly interested in your body because it’s just one among many others.
Your nudity is normal. It’s natural. It’s not a big deal.
These folks know how to be naked — almost as if they had been raised that way.
There’s something liberating about nakedness which appeals to the child in us.
The more shameful and inherently sexual nakedness is considered, the more we have to hide our bodies, and the more obsessed and transfixed with it we become.
In our attempt to tame the ‘human animal’ side of us, we ended up with social norms that often bring out the very worst in humans, not the best.
But outside of relatively recent social norms and cultural practices, there’s no such thing as nakedness.
A human body existing on its own is just that — a body. It’s not inherently sexual, provocative, indecent or sinful.
A society free from shame contains just as many possibilities for revelation as a society running along smoothly in its own repressed rut.
We have much more to gain from realising we are part of nature, rather than continuously fighting against it.
We are all equally naked underneath our clothes.
At the end of the day, it’s a big circus, and a great parade. We’re all in it together, bare-assed in clown suits.
We spend a lot of money buying clothes, and yet we spend our best times naked.
In my best times, I do magic. With a twist. The twist is, my clothes are the first thing to disappear.
Naked people don’t follow fashion. They follow instincts.
I wear my nakedness the way other women wear pearls. I celebrate it, and relish the electricity of it.
If a picture paints a thousand words, then a naked person standing in front of you paints a thousand words with only vowels.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
ooooooooooooooooo…
eeeeeeeeeee!!!
Freedom is to stand naked in the moment, having no expectations, with nothing to lose or to gain. It allows you to make good on the lack of clothing.
Get naked and roll around in it. It’s contagious. There’s no need to be embarrassed. It’s only skin.
But remember, nothing makes you feel more naked than someone identifying a desire you never knew you possessed.
Exercise makes you look better naked. So does Tequila. Your choice.
— Charles Bukowski

I have been thinking during my morning walks: There are many disadvantages to being born a woman in modern society but many, many advantages too. For example; It would be far more acceptable to societal norms to see a woman naked in public than a man, particularly if the exhibitionist is aroused. Our race of flesh bags, so easily shocked by the sight of the flesh of another. What makes the nubile and athletic male and female form so appealing and the overweight, stretch marked, subcutaneous cellulite riddled bodies of the majority of humans so unappealing? The answer is obvious. Natural selection of the species. Our brains are wired to pick up both overt and subtle signals of sexual responsiveness, and it is clear in our brains that the athletic young bodies would fuck better than unhealthy meat sacks.
In terms of sexual equality; I am sure you know that women have more than twice the nerve endings in the penis (the vagina coming a poor third, making orgasm through only PIV rare... but possible). The clitoris is the only human organ whose function is only for pleasure. Women are biologically able to have multiple orgasms, and it has been suggested that regular stimulation of the clitoris will invoke a sexual fog within the female brain that concentrates itself on achieving further pleasure within their bodies. In other words; women can become sexually addicted more easily than men, whose own sexual fog drives them to look outwards beyond themselves, to the touch of others.
There is a misconception that women are (in general) more academically gifted than men. This is borne out of the fact that girls tend to be ahead of the maturity curve during puberty. Their growth into women starts much younger than the male journey to manhood; your breasts would have started to appear, and you (or girls your age) will have started having periods before you were a teen. Mother Nature prepares its pistils before readying its stamens. Men start to wake up and take notice long after the girls have analysed their sexual desires and have embarked on their grand tour of sexual awakening.
But we also know that the patriarchy has long tried to suppress this understanding. That male driven societies are designed to subjugate female desire into shame and guilt. There is a steady and growing empowerment within the sisterhood though. Men (and I count myself here) are unlearning taught values. Values handed down by our corrupted mothers whose ancestors had the patriarchy beaten into them.
Women have always been the subject of male artists. And male artists were allowed to develop their skills where women artists were again dismissed unless they were exceptional. Men love to paint and draw the nude female form. Our galleries are chock full of naked women. There are naked men there too, but they are clearly the minority. Men are visual beasts. We like to look. Nothing wrong with that. And if we have the talent, let's show it. Let's also see women take their desires onto canvas even if it is to replicate male desire.
