In another thread there was some lighthearted discussion going on about nudity, and a comment was made (a completely correct comment, by the way) that being nude in public is considered indecent exposure, and is a criminal offence. This is certainly true in UK, although I suppose it's only indecent exposure if someone sees you
Anyway, this is a subject I have thought about in the past, and I wrote a poem about it, which you can read here, if you're interested :

what occurred to me, when I was thinking about it, was the question of
why it is considered indecent, wrong for a person to be naked, when this is their natural state. We are born naked, clothes are technology, we have to manufacture them artificially to our natural state. It's like saying it's an arrestable offence to be without a mobile phone, or a watch, or something along those lines.
So, what is is about being naked that is wrong?
What say you?
