Associations

“A girl in the Pacific islands wearing hardly any clothes and a Victorian lady completely covered in clothes might both be equally 'modest,' proper, or decent… and both, for all we could tell by their dress, might be equally chaste (or equally unchaste).” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity “Still, it is clear that many people perceive an association between nudity and overt sexuality. From the standpoint of scientific psychology it can be demonstrated that this connotation of nudity is no more than a learned sexual fetish. It is not an innate [human] characteristic.” —Dr. Conrad Manning, MD., "Virtues of Nakedness: Physical & Psychological Health”, CLOTHED WITH THE SUN, 7.3, p. 25ff) http://pastordavidrn.homestead.com/files/VirtuesNakedness-Manning.pdf
