Personally, I'd be completely comfortable if people started walking around town naked.
Someone's never met my Uncle Larry.

Fully undressing to get naked or doing things in the nude intentionally is an action
But you do have a very good point. The OP is lacking. I made a mistake there!
What does nudity have to do with morality again?
Hello guys. Time to take a vote.
Do you consider nudity moral or immoral?
This of course refers to the general sense, not the specific sense. Like for example, walking naked downtown in the middle of the night, not with a married couple fooling around alone in their bed room (I guess it happens in the middle of the night too, lol).

I am thinking of turtles,of OMG how moral they are; just exposing their feet and head.
But does nudity have sexual connotations because we only encounter it in a sexual context? Would it still be titillating if it were commonly encountered in ordinary, non-sexual situations?I believe in self-restraint and humility as both (good) moral virtues, which may be violated if one walked naked in the streets. It really depends the intent for which you are walking down the street first. Also I believe this issue is heavily related to sex and sexual urge (and the morality of that). (if Nudity did not have sexual connotations then this problem would not arise).
You're equating nudity with 'our sexual urges/life'. I don't see these as intrinsically connected.There are two stances to this that are dominant (from what I see). The first stance seems to suggest that we should be free to overindulge and proudly show our sexual urges/life in public life. There is nothing wrong with sex being discussed and paraded publicly. This would lead us to the conclusion that nudity in whatever case is okay (because even if my nudity evoked sexual desire within you, there is no need to be ashamed of it, because indulging in our sexual urges publicly is a permissible thing).
More likely it operates on the basis that sex is shocking, makes you uncomfortable and should be hidden away.. . .This view operates on the basis, that sex is very precious and should only be shared in privacy of our homes with our partner. Furthermore, some societies (many of the Greeks, Eastern societies etc), and many religions treat overindulgence in sex, as a flaw in character
Yet the "sky clad" Jains walk around completely naked -- to avoid attachment and promote a spiritual life.I know in traditional Hinduism, excessive sexualisation of society is frowned upon because promoting it actually causes people become further attached to the body, which is an impediment to spiritual life.

I don't see it as a question of natural. It's "natural" for humans to war on competing tribes. Natural isn't always desirable.Even with the best of intentions for just being "natural," if a person decided to walk naked through a school, I think that is wrong action, and they should be arrested. This is not because I think there is anything inherently wrong with being naked, but because it is an action that would be expected to be so shocking to children, as to be experienced as a trauma.
