Shame in Nudity.

This interested me, http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1zGyUn/www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23247

why are people so ashamed of being naked? All other animals are naked, sure they have fur but that's them in their natural state. A group of psychologists took 8 ordinary people and brought them together to test why naked bodies make us uncomfortable. It's all in insecurities, one lady thought people might laugh at her, while guys were concerned about inappropriate excitement.
After a series of experiments, they became more comfortable with the bodies of others. Psychologists learned that people learn to be ashamed of being nude and seeing nudity. They're not born with that feeling.
