These days I am like the Pope. Maybe I am a snob like him, because when I'm in the shower, I look down on the unemployed just like him!!

It mostly boils down to respect for yourself and others.
Nudity has its purpose...it is not to cause traffic accidents. LOL
God told Isaiah to go naked for 3 years. While he was going around preaching...how did he explain that when he met people? Was it humiliation or humor or both?
God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute...and he did. Did she keep her clothes on all the time?
All things are relative.
This is a chart that started out around the turn of the millennium and is still in use by some today.

Sin- causing them to view each other's nakedness with lust.
What sin? When God made them to be "wed" to one another. One would hope their spouse felt lust for them, wouldn't one?

I think it's a heightened awareness of themselves and their world that did not previously exist. Scripture does say their eyes were opened.

Lust has nothing and I mean nothing to do with the normal coarse of attraction between a couple from the moment they lay eyes on each other to the time they are watching the traffic go by in rocking chairs.
God made every step of that process and Satan was not even consulted.
Lust is the extreme inappropriate desire of anything. As connected with sex, it is outside the normal course of things. Adultery, homosexuality, whore mongering...etc.
My mother has always said, if you’re naked in your bedroom getting dressed and someone accidentally opens the door not knowing you’re in there, if you’re under 40, they must apologize to you and if you’re over 40 you must apologize to them.
No one's accidentally walking in on me, because I'm locking the door anytime I enter the bathroom or the bedroom.

I get instant constipation if there is no lock on the toilet door.No one's accidentally walking in on me, because I'm locking the door anytime I enter the bathroom or the bedroom.
The bible speaks a lot against nudity. Also, many societies associate nudity with sex, so some people might tend to act more sexual when looking at naked people. I personally don't feel comfortable around women who wear tight jeans or less clothing because of that.

One of the early symptoms associated with the decline of Man was an
intuitive sense of propriety.
For example: upon tasting the forbidden fruit, Adam covered his pelvic area
because he felt naked.
God demanded to know who told Adam that he was naked. In other words:
Who told Adam that genital exposure is indecent, i.e. where'd he get that?
Well; nobody told Adam that genital exposure is indecent. It was his natural
sense of right and wrong telling him so. In other words: Adam's moral
standards were his own moral standards rather than sacred standards, viz:
those standards of Adam's weren't the standards of the true God, rather, of
a false god.
• Gen 3:22 . . And the Lord God said: The man has now become like one of
us, knowing good and evil.
• John 10:34 . . Jesus answered them; Is it not written in your Law: I have
said you are gods?

• Matt 5:28 . . I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for
her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
How many Christians have been led to believe that passage teaches that a
normal male libido is sinful? My guess is: very near all of them, with very
few rare exceptions.
But why are so many so easily persuaded by that passage that a normal
male libido is sinful?
My guess is because they are biologically related to Adam; and seeing as
they are; then they have the very same intuitive feelings about sex and the
human body that he had, i.e. a guilt complex relative to sex and the human
body started out in the garden of Eden-- not due to God's handiwork, rather,
due to Adam experimenting with the forbidden fruit.

Cause for starters when Adam and Eve were first created obviously they were both naked. Second of all as long as you're not having sex with everybody in town for nudist colonies I don't really have one opinion or another about it. I actually enjoy being naked myself,.. but I don't think I would want everybody in the neighborhood to see me naked, and I don't think that I could unsee everybody else all natural as well. Also, what do women do when they get on their mensuration cycle in these colonies?
Because of sin donme by Adam and Eve and passed down to all of us- nudity ionfront of anyone but our spouse is forbidden. It leads to sexual sin or sinful thoughts as jesus said! God put clothes on them for they were ashamed of their nakedness. We corrupted Gods innocence.

You are assuming this....interesting in itself, hmmm. The record tells us they covered themselves....who knows, their whole person?
...Thus, sin and shame is associated with sexual organs. This needs to be rethought.
