I don't think you need more proof. We all know most men are lead by visuals.
There are male surgeons, doctors, midwives and nurses who work on naked females and they would get fired and fined if they committed rape.

Funny running across this thread, as I was just joking with my wife about going to Pirates Cove Beach. It's a public "clothing optional" beach.

...I always thought these places were membership only... Apparently they're not.

I don't. And when you became a Christian, it ceased to be your life. We as Christians are called to be modest. Please explain how public nudity is in any sense modest.
When Paul talked about how women should dress. He was saying that kindness, generosity, gentleness etc should be shown and displayed rather than jewellery. Also the bible says man judges by the outward appearance but God judges by the heart.

Disapproval with an eloquence beyond what I am capable of relaying or even imagining.


Sadly, that doesn't stop a lot of people from showing off. If it happens with certain outfits in the mall, it can happen on a nude beach.


But this can be achieved with frocks, habits, or uniforms. I don't see what benefit nudity has in this context.


It's a layer of protection against small foreign objects going into your butt crack. I would think that this extra layer would have health benefits for women as well. In terms of modesty, the less you can get away with showing off, the better. So if a swimsuit is functional and not fancy, that to me wins the modesty competition.


I have a hard time believing this cannot be accomplished with clothes on. Besides, if you've got it and if you hide it, I would think less people will try to flatter you for having it.
I guess you have never heard of hippies with hairy armpits and legs

This is not an explanation of why public nudity is modest.

There is a lot people who find hairy women and men disgusting. Is not modesty about not attracting sex. Satan would love to tempt people into overlooking what wisdom said in proverbs about falling for a prostitute.

  1. Modesty and immodesty is not limited to attracting people sexually. The pride that fuels immodesty is not dependent on the people who see you liking what you've got.
  2. Unfortunately, inappropriate content of that exists.
If you were naked among many other people who are naked how can you attract someone for sex?
It depends on what the people around you like.

The story of the Good Samaritan the naked man was humble and vulnerable. When I went to a nudist event I had to trust God that my clothes, wallet, car keys and phone didn’t get stolen while I was playing a game or swimming. I believe being naked does not make you prideful

I am able to reply because I use DuckDuckGo. Censorship, lack of privacy and the end of free speech is common among social media and search engines

It's usually just my wife and close friends who aren't bothered by nudity.
Nude by yourself. OK.
Nude with your wife. OK.
Nude with your friends. Not OK.

Assuming your nudity could become a near occasion of sin for others which, if you looked like me, would be true. Matthew 5:28.

Nudity in public is very non sexual and I don't see it as a temptation to take another man's wife. Ya, we appreciate each other's bodies that God gave us but that is a far cry from wanting to take another man's wife, which is what Jesus is taking about in Mt.5:28, the topic is adultery and the 10 commandments not what your eyes see.

I go to Gunnison Beach in NJ... which is part of Gateway National Park -- so people get nude on Federal land. #GodblessAmerica

That's your sin, not the nude person's, which makes it your problem, not theirs.

A wife isn't property.

But that is the way a wife was considered until just recently. Back in the late 50s a wife couldn't buy her own car without the man's name on the title because she was was his property even if she was paying for it with her own money. Well, she had to fight like hell to with the bank. Yes, that's the way you have to read the Bible if you want to understand it they way they did when Jesus was on the earth.
