Nakedness and sexuality in contemporary mind and society

Something is amiss, something involving our most fundamental biological programming, the pictures we have drawn of it and the explicit beliefs we have attached to

them. We may have now recognised certain errors of our former ways, but we have not addressed them as we might have: we have reacted against our errors rather than dissolving and transforming them. Over the course of a specific historical evolution, just one of many possible historical evolutions, the naked form has come to be uncoupled in the most bizarre of manners from a ubiquitous aesthetic which is purely sexual.
