Would you?

I'm pretty sure I would. Hot summer day, my shirt and shorts are too hot, rip it off and go naked!

I sunburn rather easily, so I probably wouldn't. Though I think it would be *nice to be able to survive harsh extremes of hot and cold, without needing to wear clothing.

*more like manly and hardcore

No. Britain is too cold. Even in the summer. I can wear trousers and a jumper in midsummer and still not break a sweat. That I'm really skinny and my body acts like a heat sink might help also.

DAMNIT! I forgot to make it public.

Yeah, I get far too hot in the summer. Although I'd probably end up with a horrendous case of sunburn.

Nah, I'm too hairy. And blonde body hair looks ueber-weird.

DAMNIT! I forgot to make it public.

Wouldn't that be Indecent Exposure?

i think the saying the clothes make the man is a good one.

how will man be made without clothes?!

but on the + side, no more chaffing!

Wouldn't that be Indecent Exposure?

Tee hee!

Probably not, I like wearing clothes to some extent. But I suppose down here in Florida, I would go to school shirtless through the months of August and September.

Topless, no problem. I like my boobs and wouldn't mind showing them off. But I'd be pretty uncomfortable showing off my genitalia to someone I wasn't planning to get really personal with.

But, if society was open to nudity, then wouldn't your showing of genitalia be not uncomfortable? Perhaps, even sex wouldn't be personal anymore.

No, probably not. :o

Where I live? You'd get eaten live by insects or burnt like toast.

No. I wouldn't want people to be able to see so much of me. I'd feel too vulnerable. Plus I live in Florida, so I would have sunburn...

I am way too pale to do that. Last thing I want is me willy to get roasted.

Got yourself a genuine hot dog then. :p

Ick. No.
I fully support anyone who wishes to be naked in public, though.

If society said it was ok to be naked, I wouldn't go within 50 feet of a subway, classroom or public bus without wearing a hazmat suit. Those places are disgusting enough already and most people in/on them are wearing pants now.
So, no, I wouldn't join in on the nakedness.

Hell no! Trust me, no one wants to see this naked.:eek:

I'd still stay clothed, I sleep in my clothes already, they feel like a part of me.

If it was warm enough, I suppose. It's just skin...

If it was that way from the start, yes. If it just suddenly became so one day, probably not.

Fuck. Yes.

I wouldn't want to sit my bare ass on the seats of the bus. Plus I get more than enough attention from creepy men as it is. So no.

Reeaally....*stares through the interwebz and out through the monitor!*

DAMNIT! I forgot to make it public.

I'm sure the posters who said they would go nude will make it public enough.
If you don't see them on the street, check the news.

I'd still stay dressed, since this is what I'd look like if I were naked on a hot summer day: http://blahblahblog.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/bacon.jpg

It'd be really disturbing to see some of the people on a hot day walking around naked and sweaty.

Reeaally....*stares through the interwebz and out through the monitor!*
*shudders*

*shudders*

Well, ya can't blame 'em too much.
:)

No, I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't even go topless. Guys are creepy enough as it is. :p

*shudders*

Don't worry, it was a friendly stare.

Like a hobbit popping out of a crack in the sidewalk with a merry "Good day!".

Great, great visual.

if it was socialy accseptible to go naked then the fashion industry and every place that sells sloths would either shut down or take a major hit in buisness.

plaus the economy would take a hit.

Sure! At least for the 2 seconds of Michigan weather that isn't some form of winter, anyway!

The only time I actually *want* to wear clothes is if I need the pockets.

I might go topless in some situations, but I can't see myself walking around completely nude.

I might go topless

:D

Would you?

I'm pretty sure I would. Hot summer day, my shirt and shorts are too hot, rip it off and go naked!

No. I'd be trying to hide the fact that I'm extremely turned on by the fact I'm seeing naked women all the time walking around.

Naw, too dangerous. I don't want to be the cause of a bear panic by walking around without my drawers on.

Only if I could walk around naked with Ruffy naked on my left, Brevious naked on my right, and dakini naked right in front of me. :D

I saved that for you ;)

Only when it isn't expected. :)

I'm old, fat, saggy and I have a redhead's complexion (in spite of being a brunette [salt-and-pepper]). No way am I going without clothes - it would cost more to cover me in sunscreen than to cover me with cloth.

Topless, no problem. I like my boobs and wouldn't mind showing them off. But I'd be pretty uncomfortable showing off my genitalia to someone I wasn't planning to get really personal with.

:) I like your boobs too.

Eh, I could do the whole no shirt thing, seeing as I do it at the beach and the pool. Completely nekid, I'm iffy.

This raises an interesting debate. As society I think we should be mature enough to see the naked form of a body (whether male or female). However I think with, respects to the entire clothing/textile industry, that as an integral part of society in its self we need to remain clothed. Clothes are a status symbol and they tell us much about a person (ie. Kim Il's use of the close to, but not entirely, military uniforms that he has)



As for me....I live in Texas so in the summers no clothes is a win/lose situation. All things considered I'd Probably go nood. I mean wth its just human anatomy right?

Fergi America;13103896']Sure! At least for the 2 seconds of Michigan weather that isn't some form of winter, anyway!

Okay, that does it.
You've actually solicited the first "Holy Fuckin' Shit!" reaction from me.
!
You aimin' for Ezekiel 1:10?

it's an interesting question.

However, it's not really the point, the point is more; will society ever change that much?

Nah, I quite enjoy clothing. Especially when it's well-tailored.

Yeah, I'd probably go nude. I'd want some type of bag to carry stuff in though.
In winter I'd like to wear hides though. Frostbite isn't fun.

Nah, I quite enjoy clothing. Especially when it's well-tailored.

Inseam or bustier?

I'd have to wear clothes just to avoid skin cancer and frostbite. But indoors? Maybe not. It would probably encourage people to take care of themselves.

I would spare everyone the horror of having to see my overweight, ugly, pasty pale body.

:DI've never watched whatever you're quoting, but still...

I just *knew* when I wrote about needing "pockets" that someone here would come up with something both funny and...weird! :D

No. Britain is too cold. Even in the summer. I can wear trousers and a jumper in midsummer and still not break a sweat. That I'm really skinny and my body acts like a heat sink might help also.

I don't know what britain you live in, its roasting in my one during the summer!

If temperature allowed it.
I'm naked most of the time when I'm at home anyway, it's just most comfortable.

it might take some getting used to, like any other social custom that is at first unfamiliar. i wear as little as i can as often as i can as it is, other then to avoid being too conspicuous. but arround the house, when it's just me and wifie, i don't wear anything as it is. being naked arround other people, would take some getting used to, but knowing it was the consensus of the surrounding social values would make getting used to it a lot easier.

usually i'm not inclined to make human society the judge of anything, but at the same time it is a reality that it is there and unable to be safely ignored.

weather and other conditions would still impose limits on the practicality. that's why clothes were invented, before ego became the reason for continuing to wear them even when they would not otherwise have been neccessitated.

not everyone is pretty to look at, but that isn't entirely pertinent either. we didn't evolve wearing cloths. i'm not sure weather humans lost their fur before or after they started wearing them though. i would imagine before, because evolutionary adoptations, as opposed to behavioral ones, do seem to take unimaginably long times, many many lifetimes worth of long times. possibly a lot longer then we've even been telling storys.

so basicly i'm cool with the concept, while admiting the reality that it would take me a while to get used to it.

=^^=
.../\...

Would you?

I'm pretty sure I would. Hot summer day, my shirt and shorts are too hot, rip it off and go naked!

Naah, I would never leave my barbaric fur loincloth!

Anyway, no, I don't think I would go naked in a hot summer day, I don't want the sun burning my flesh, also I would hate having people in a crowded underground train rubbing against by bare, unprotected flesh. I always wear long trousers and jackets in summer - better insulation, better protection from the sun: look at the Tuareg - 50 °C and totally covered in wool, they know!

if every one else was naked too and it was cloudy then hell ya!

No.

Clothes serve a very real and practical function where I live. To take them off is to invite certain illness.

Tough call, really... on the one hand, I'd probably see much more of the hot guys I'm always wishing I could see more of, and it would be cooler on the hot days, and I kinda wouldn't mind baring all on some of my better-feeling days. On the other hand, I'd probably see much more of the un-hot people-- the morbidly obese, the heavily furred, ladyfolk on their light- thru heavy-days-- and it would be traumatic on cold days, and on my less confident days I'd either stay cooped up at home or feel out-of-place covered up on the nekkid streets.

However, if I was living in an all-hot-guy environment like a male sports commune or something, then I say toss the clothes and let's enjoy the open air :)

Oh, you should, you should. There are so, so many funny episodes of that show.

I sunburn too easily.

and I consider myself very considerate of others...

meaning I won't subject anyone else to the horrors of my bod. :p

Somethings are best left covered... :(

It's either too cold, or I'll get sunburned, or there are those god damned mosquitos that love my blood (seriously, nobody else around me gets bit when mosquitos are out). So clothes, ftw!

Try eating some garlic and layering your clothing a bit. Go with grey if you can.
Works for me and the shooting range.

I live in england... I'd freeze to death before I even got out the front door =(

It's far too cold for such silliness.

You must live in some futuristic winter wonder-land, it's 90F over here in Jersey.

No. One, I'm fat. Two, I have a rather large scar on my chest. Three, I'm kinda ugly.

I thought Ifreann resided in Superman's ice fortress :confused:

yeah for sure

except when its cold or the sun burns

clothes are made to protect and shield, not to hide skin

Yeah, it's called Ireland.
I thought Ifreann resided in Superman's ice fortress :confused:

Yes. Superman's ice fortress in Ireland.

I think public nudity should only become an option when Greenpeace relents and allows the Coastguard to harpoon the 'beach whales' that will invariably abuse the eyes and minds of the public. I don't think I'd go out nude, I'd burn where sunburns shouldn't be. As a matter of public policy, if public nudity is allowed, it should only be granted to people that have passed a physical with a Body Fat percentage no higher than the 'fitness' category.

Yes. Superman's ice fortress in Ireland.

Dude, it's in the Yukon. He wanted to be on the same continent as Metropolis.

I don't know what britain you live in, its roasting in my one during the summer!

AMK
xxxFor a while I lived in a country where it can reache 40C in the summer. I just don't find the UK hot any more. It can be warm, pleasantly warm, but never hot.

It would depend on about three factors:
1. My mood, if I'm in a sluffy mood I'm not going to prance around in the buff.
2. The weather, it can get up to 50C here (and I'm translucent) so I would roast.
3. The company - there are just some people you don't want be naked around.

I'm perfectly happy wandering around my house naked and in front of partners and stuff, so I guess if the weather's nice then yeah.

If it had always been that way then yes, I wouldn't think anything of it in the same way I don't think anything of not wearing a burka (imagian if people started to say that shirts where a sign of opression:eek:). If it went that way tomorrow, no. I might wear less-covering clothing and show more skin but only in nice weather.

Considering I don't care about society's opinions of anything else I do, why would clothes be the one where I start listening?

Yes. Superman's ice fortress in Ireland.

...you mean, it's not shot on location? :confused:

Hell Yeah!

I wonder if I could convince my boyfriend to do it.... I mean, if he saw me naked that might make him, but the thought of all those old people scares me so much that now i have to go get myself a juicebox to calm down... :P

No, I one of those weirdos who much prefers wearing clothes.

Hm.. on the one hand: I'd probably see a lot 'more' of the hot guys I'm always wishing I could see more of, because hot cocky 20-somethingish guys would probably get a kick out of going commando+. And I'm certain there'd be confident days where I could be like "hell yes, Imma go for my walk nekkid!" Plus it would be more comfortable on really hot days in the summer.

On the other hand: I know I'd see a lot 'more' of the people I absolutely don't want to see more of-- the morbidly obese, men and women alike, the heavily furred, the ladyfolk on their 'heavy' days... oh gawd... plus there'd be days when I was feeling unpretty and I'd want to go out dressed and there'd be hot nekkid guys who'd make me feel out of place. Then there'd be frigid Canadian winter days when going commando+ would be suicidal.

I know! Set me up to live in a clothing-optional all male sports commune with loose social mores and we'll call it an exceedingly happy comprimise :)
