There has never been a proven case of someone catching an STI from touching a toilet seat etc. with their bare bum.

No thanks, I don't want to see naked old people wandering around. Plus here in Canada it'd be really fucking cold.

I thought I'd make a thread with a traditional misleading escapist title(TM) about a completely hypothetical scenario that is never going to happen. Let the flame wars commence!

The question is, what do you think the world would be like if everyone was forced to be naked 100% of the time? For the purposes of this scenario there are government-hired thugs that will force non-compliant troublemakers to strip at gunpoint, weather is not an issue, and any laws making public nudity illegal no longer apply. However, sexual harassment and indecent exposure laws still apply.

Personally I can see a load of health benefits and improvement in self-esteem, as nobody is going to be held to a ridiculous standard in the media anymore and sexualisation of partial or full nudity will be reduced. There's also a much greater incentive to keep in shape than if you were clothed.

On the other hand, it would completely destroy the clothing industry over night, and it does get quite chilly here in the UK. And I'm sure there would be lots of weirdos out there sexualising the lack of clothes, so we'd probably also need Paramilitary Pervert Police(TM) to discourage the commission of those sort of offences. Anyway, post your opinion or any insightful observations below, and don't forget to vote in the poll!

A completely butt-naked stranger and your favourite pet are drowning in a lake and you only have time to save one - which do you choose?
I was just about to make this thread... no really I was o-o
Mildly disturbed now...

Um, yeah why the hell not i could get on fine with it I have no real issues with my body or anything, especially since I got back in shape.

Edit: Incidentally I also don't care about the vast amount of scars I bear, self inflicted or otherwise.

As for the bonus question, the pet, fuck the stranger who I have no connection to.
Alternatively: my favourite pet is an Octopus! It would save the stranger > >

No and my dog.

I like my dog.. Alot, and its not likely that I'm alone on the scene.
I believe a stranger would rather save the strange man than the strange dog.

... unless they were like me ofc.

"Weather is not an issue"? Weather is a hell of an issue to not factor in!

Ah, I see you're from the UK.

Even if I could ignore the -40 weather, no. Clothes are nice.

Hell no, hanging free around todays plummeting temperatures and fast moving sharp objects is just asking for trouble.

Plus, the fat and the elderly will be naked too, I doubt humanity has enough toilets and sick bags to go around the entire population.

No. I have been growing up in a society with clothes being a legal requirement in public and thus I am stuck in that line of thought.

Now if I were to ignore how I was raised the answer would still be no. Rough surfaces such as rocks, gravel, hot asphalt would be painful. Walking in the forest would be really bad since the best protection is boots.

Now weather doesn't apply, does that even make sense? Even during the summer I rarely find the weather hot enough to require me to take off my shirt. Our summers last 2 months with luck.

Our society wouldn't change its beauty standards just because we were naked. It would just be glaringly obvious who didn't live up to it making the pressure worse. The number of people feeling awkward changing in a public locker room should be a hint.

Others have mentioned the fact that we have old, fat and otherwise ugly people that we do not want to see naked. I have seen those I don't want to see fully clothed.

Now there are all sorts of dangers, hygienic issues and such with walking around naked.

Glad you brought this up. Do you know that some heavy duty work gloves could have prevented HIV?

I figure there'd be tons of different consequences to something like that, but on a comfort level? As someone who lives in Florida and spends his time at home nude(unless I have company that objects to that) I'd be okay with that. Doubt I'd see much worse then I have in the showers at my old gym.

Personally I would be in a crippled state of sadness due to my horrible issues with my body. And I would save my dog.

Hell no. No. No. No... No!

Given that I am the sort of person who hesitates getting naked for showers, I wear swimming trunks in the shower if there are people round, it would be hellish for me. And while, yes, there are certain celebrities and other local people I'd enjoy seeing naked it would lead to many an inappropriate erection.

Also I once had a gentleman issue that had me so embarrassed it took me 10+ minutes to let the doctor to her job, if I had to let people see that in public... Fuck it, I'd just kill myself.

What about when a guy finds a girl attractive.... There is a biological reaction that occurs...

It depends. Is this something that was just enforced today on a bunch of people who are accustomed to wearing clothes? If this is the case, then I think it would be a nightmare.

On the other hand, if we're talking about a hypothetical society where everyone has grown up naked, surrounded by naked people, where public nudity is seen as the norm, then I guess you just wouldn't notice anything being amiss, so it would be ok.

Yeah, if you see boners all the time they kind of won't be anything "OHMIGOSHAPENISIAMSCARREDFORLIFE!"-worthy.

Though I'd be against a law that would tell me to be stark-naked. I like not freezing to death, and not having to mop up the entire apartment every time I come home from rainy weather.

Pfft the weather here in the UK is pathetic. People get bent out of shape over half an inch of snow for a day. I went to Switzerland and there was 4 feet of it on everything and I swear no fuck was given at any point by anyone.

And I maintained my two layers only policy >_O

I'd assume that would be a good thing a lot of the time, for those guys whom don't have the balls to tell a girl how they feel...

On topic:

While I wouldn't mind being naked all the time (Even in Britain where it's raining even when it's not) in the sense that I'm comfortable with the way I look and don't mind extreme cold with little clothing (I always wear jeans and a t-shirt, even when there's over 5 inches of snow and everything's icy)

What I would have a problem with is the lack of pockets on my natural body. I already struggle with enough pockets to carry around all the stuff I need to the point I have a jacket tied around my waist purely for the additional 2-4 pockets.

Two layers is definitely the maximum. I sometimes go with one layer because I am of Viking blood.
