> It's interesting how the word "nude" boosts posts to the top

We're mammals. Despite our large cerebrums and ability for abstract reasoning, we're still primates. Of course we're drawn to sex, food, and emotion.

I think it's more interesting that we're surprised by this. Sure, it's good to try to overcome your bestial nature, but pretending it isn't there at all seems a bit silly.




We seem to be the only mammals that are particularly attracted to nudity. As far as I can tell, no other mammal even notices when one of their species is naked.


How can they? Do any other animals have a concept of clothing?
