I had a similar personality to this in my very early 20s, so I know it when I see it. I blamed it on be raised extremely prudish, just to get to college and find out that "normal" and "typical" were not what I had experienced, so I suddenly was hopeful in making up for lost time as my mind would race with possible scenarios, none of which ever came to fruition.

I can believe nudity was genuinely discussed as a possibility very early in planning the production, but the poster then got wind of it and assumed it would definitely be happening, as opposed to being something that would almost certainly get struck out at the next meeting. I guess with a lot of productions of Hair, early on there's some talk of "wouldn't it be ker-azy if we actually did the nude scene?", and then in most cases it ends up either omitted completely or heavily watered down.
