In college I had a lot of interest in drama, even though I was a business major, I took several drama classes and, as required, tried out for several roles. Unfortunately there was a guy there who went on to a professional career, so he got all the good roles, I was either a stage hand or worked in production. The college was old and the facilities were very lacking, there were no real dressing rooms, just areas we ran ropes and hung sheets, to at least give an illusion of privacy. But, for the most part, by the time they got to this level, the students who were serious had no problem with nudity, most Saturday night the drama students smoked pot and skinny dipped in a campus fountain, including some faculty.
By my second year I was an assistant director, responsibilities were to be backstage during productions making sure the right people were in costume and ready to go on when the cue came. So I was in and out of the dressing area by necessity, did I see a lot of bare boobs and underwear, yes, was it sexy, no, it was frantic.
After graduation I worked with a with professional opera house, we had six productions a year, I got to work with some big names like Beverly Sills. Several had a ballet corp performing as part of the production, I was trying to prevent wardrobe malfunctions, with ballet dancers it isn't easy.
