Why Do People Wear Clothes?

There are quite a few reasons for people wearing clothes in this day and age (Even though, one of them are really logical, except for body protection from cold and other elements. SO I will start off of how it original began.

I believe it started with religion (which makes more sense), even though the Bible does NOT condemn nudity. There is a part where it says that Adam and Eve ate an apple which caused them to BECOME ashamed of themselves, and THEN they hid their bodied with fig leaves due to shame. When God found them, he wondered why they were cencoring themselves. He found out they had eaten a cursed apple after God had told them not to. Since they had done so, God had kicked them out of the Kingdom. Before doing so, he had CREATED clothes for them, so they will have something to protect themselves from the dangers outside of the Kingdom (such as thorns and stuff), and possibly because they are ashamed of themselves. They were always nude before.

This is the part that confused people. The part where it says that God had clothes Adam and Eve, people assumed that he clothed theme because nudity was a sin, and that we are supposed to wear clothes. People had misread the Bible (which happens quite a bit). There has been many other things that have been misread. Wholesome nudity is the way to be, because it is natural. Wearing clothes when not required creates shame, and over the years, people have worn clothes, for many many years. Since they are used to their bodies being covered, they are ashamed of what they look like. God created people in His image. It's hard to believe that His image would be obscene or inappropriate. Satan (the Devil) greatest accomplishment would be for people to see God's greatest creation to be sin as sinful. That last sentence was a quite from some where's, but I don't think I said it correctly.

I believe it also says that hiding behind clothes, creates lust and sin (which is does, because it creates a mystery and ets people curious about what others look like, and it also creates boundaries and communication, causing others to judge and discriminate against one another.

The Bible also says how God (?) was nude for three years one time, and how others were nude. Also when being baptised, full nudity is required. Not even jewellery and stuff is allowed. It even says how people were asked to preach nude. So clearly, nudity is NOT a sin. It is nudity that ISN'T wholesome, that is a sin, such as how people sexualize nudity or so themselves off sexually, like exhibitionists. When I said before, how clothes creates lust and sin. This is how the textile society which we live, is pornocaited and corrupt. The textile society has a lot of judgemental and discrimination. This is why, there is a lot of hatred, bullying, pornography etc. When you watch TV, it is mostly filled with filth. When you go to the grocery store and look at the magazines. You see 3 things: Sex, Gossip and sexy body images.

In the Naturist world, this stuff doesn't exist, because we are all equal. It doesn't matter your gender, age, race, orientation, religion etc. We see each other as a human being, and who we are, not what we are, which is the way it's suppose to be.

But because of how society formed, people wear clothes, because they are ashamed of how they look. Everyone else is wearing clothes, and they are nude, so the feel over exposed and vulnerable. Since people are ashamed of how they look, this creates self esteem issues. People who don't like feeling like they are weak, stand up and look to out do others (or at least match them). Which is why we have so much bullying and stuff in the world. Most people who bully are, are insecure and scared just like the ones who are being bullied. The only difference is, they are going and great length to hide that, because they are afraid of what other people think for them or how they will think of them, of they knew they were not like the rest or different. People see that it works, so they join force, and pick on those they see as weak. They also do that to show others how tough they (think) they are It is sickening and really sad.

Most textiles, who are nude, are nude in a sexual way, which is way people thinking nudity and sex on the same level. That is probably why there are laws against nudity in most of the world. It is hard to understand why textiles sexualize nudity. I think it's because they don't feel as insecure as they would if they are nude in a wholesome way, also because of the amount of pornographic content around, they feel that is OK, and they simply do that for fun and entertainment, (and to entertain others). Can the world completely convert to Naturism. Short answer is yes, but it's not that simple. It will take quite awhile.

Textiles usually sleep with clothes on, but there is quite a few that do sleep nude (but usually only in the summer, when it really warm and humid out). Textiles usually shower nude (which is one of the few times that they are nude, that and changing clothes).
