I sometimes think about the changing times and how it's reflected in some young people's approach to nudity.

Two illustrations of this:

I was recently speaking with a young female colleague. She mentioned having been asked out by another person who works with us.
We got to talking and she freely spoke about possibly dating and sleeping with the guy. I asked her if it wouldn't be uncomfortable for her to continue working with him after, if it doesn't work out between them.
Her response: I really don't care about him seeing me naked, I'm much more concerned with opening up and having him see my vulnerabilities and then having to continue working with him.
I was struck by that comment and her approach to the nudity aspect.

Another case involves a young woman who is, for lack of a better term, a "friend of the family".
She was over recently enjoying a day in the sun and the pool with our family and some other friends.
At one point she wanted to go pick up some more drinks so she said she'd change in to street clothes. She proceeded to stand in full view of the others and strip off her swimsuit bottoms and replace them with underpants and shorts. She then left to go get the drinks.
Later, after her return, I heard one of the other young women present ask her about that. The girl who had taken off her bathing suit said something to the effect of "guys go shirtless because they don't have any organ that sticks out of the body but they won't go bottomless for the exact same reason. Women keep their tops on because their breasts stick out from the body...do the math...". Not an accurate quote but close enough.
