But individuals are less comfortable being naked among others more now than before, probably due to various factors, but body image issues and the risk of being photographed are probably two important ones.
This is seen in how especially girls/women act these days, almost no toplessness on the beach, refusing to shower in school etc.
There are exceptions of course, and I still believe Scandinavia is more relaxed than many other parts of the world, but it isn’t like it used to be 20 years ago, sadly.

I think everything relies on FHD cameras on smartphones + the reach and speed videos can spread via social media.
I'm sure people used to have bodyimage issues much more on the 90's, where all the celebrities and people on comercials were pretty, also you didn't have normal naked people on the internet to compare to yourself, like today
