But being in underwear is not being nude. You are covered by cloth. it doesn't matter if that cloth comes out of a package labeled shorts or underpants. it's cloth and it covers the genitalia. so technically you can't really be considered nude in them.can you honestly always tell the difference between a woman in a bikini and a woman in a bra/underwear? not unless you touch the fabric in some cases, and yet one is allowed in public and the other is not.

You should be able to find what state laws apply by doing an Internet search using the name of your state and different key words like "decency laws", "nudity laws", "public nudity."

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

If that is the legal letter of the law then I highly disagree with this ban.

Well, I can't say I'd be totally opposed to it. But where I live it wouldn't be all that practical. The air is very dry and it's hot enough in the summer, you would get one hell of a sunburn. And in the winter, you would freeze.

Plus, there's the age-old axiom that those who seem most eager to be seen naked are usually the people nobody really wants to see naked.

LOL. That is for sure.
And in public there are sanitary/health concerns. I wouldn't want to sit down on that chair...

You're never completely naked if you're wearing a hat.
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.

If I'm sunbathing, it's over my face. Nasty wrinkles and all that.
