Clothing Style/Amount Should Be Up to The Individual and Not Enforced by Law

In regards to: "relationships are always going to be damaged if revealing clothing is heralded as the norm" If a relationship is damaged by the sexual drive of one of the persons involved then that relationship was most likely built mostly on sex in the first place. It's true someone can love a person and be sexual attracted to many other people, but that doesn't mean they go off and take another as a lover. Humans are social creatures and bonds are important to most of us. I believe if anything having the mind constantly reminded of our sexual drives will make us understand them better. There is nothing shameful about having sexual thoughts even if you are in a relationship, but it's when you decide it's worth crossing your partner that relationships get ruined. I argue that if are minds were more accustomed to our sexuality then we would be less likely to lose ourselves and our partner over desires of sex because we are used to the stimulation and we understand it is a simple emotion just like sadness and happiness, driven by chemicals. In regards to: "if being open about the body is key to improving social esteem then, surely we should abandon all clothes when we can?" To this I say yes, that would be in agreement to my beliefs. If everyone was completely nude then my argument would be that everyone would gain a more mature respect and understanding of the human body. I don't believe however anyone should be forced to be nude if they do not wish to be. For me, if nudity was allowed I most likely would not participate, I grew up feeling my body is something to be self-conscious about, and I'm not sure if I would be able to break that mental barrier. However, I do believe if everyone was nude it would be a positive thing, ignoring health impacts as you had said, I believe it would give people a better appreciation for people of all shapes and sizes. In regards to: "I don't think it's fair to the younger generations to have them constantly compete for sex appeal" I feel that the same level of competition would be present regardless if everyone was clothed or not. Yes some people have less sexual attraction then others to the majority of people, but if the younger generations were more open about their sexual then they could have more mature talks about it. I believe in many cases suppressing sexuality is part of the reason the younger generation seeks it out so much. I believe it also would give people more appreciation for it, and it would show that everyone is different l. Many "attractive" people wear clothing and makeup to hide flaws. If everyone was exposed maybe the younger generation would realize the human body comes in all shapes and sizes and that it's out of a person's control. And if they can make that realization then they should be able to realize what makes a person more special is the thing they can control, their personality. There will always be those who lose themselves in the pursuit of sex, but I believe a better understanding of sexuality brings with it more mature thinking and ideologies, especially for the younger generation. In regards to: "arguable revealing your body is not necessarily the best way to stop self consciousness." I believe that revealing that humans are rarely as depicted in magazines would give people a better understanding of why body type and shape is of little importance when compared to personality. Many times clothing is made to hide flaws and make a person appear more attractive. Without this more people would see the flaws of each individual and have a better appreciation for their own bodies.
