Why do we wear clothes?

And then a sign of 'status'.

Where do I buy my "WP" t-shirt?

It's the PJ top.

I think we all become conscious of our bodies regardless of what society dictates. I don't feel comfortable naked.

A bit out of left field, but I guess it is travel related. I was recently asked, why we wear clothes. The enquirer told me he wore clothes as they were expected, but his preference was to not (tropical, close to equatorial).

Let's face it, there just two types of human, female and male, so if we know what each looks like naked, there are no secrets, so why do we continue to wear clothes in all circumstances?

You haven't just been watching a certain TV show on SBS have you?

Further to that, there is an entire group of people who chose not to, and they seem to be surviving ok.

They call that "reality TV", don't they? The version I get is not generally televised.

No, this is what I was talking about -> www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/nude

A whole world (well Europe) where clothing is no longer worn...

Can't access the link from where I am, so it will have to wait I'm afraid. I should also say, I'm neither pro nor anti nudity, it was just a question which got me pondering. I can see the benefits of clothing, but I also see benefits of none, for those not bothered by UV or cold, especially those that spend a lot of time in/on the water fishing.

I guess I am on the other extreme. I choose row 1 because I hate seeing any other people, no matter how well dressed. In fact, in my condition, I do not even notice clothes - just that there are people present. And I hate that. I wish people would wear clothes that made them COMPLETELY INVISIBLE to me.

I think Harry Potter had something like that!
