Have the PCs in your party seen each other naked?

[Sir Elton]

Until the end of the Renaissance, nudity wasn't much of a problem. Gratuitous nudity was of course seldom tolerated, so you couldn't walk naked in the streets; but no one objected if you were bathing naked in a river. Indeed, there's lot of medieval tales about knights falling in love after seeing a maiden bathing in a lake or river. When you didn't have a suitable river nearby, there were public baths, which weren't gender-segregated.

I don't totally agree with that assessment.

In my campaign, I don't intend to have a lot of the more nonsensical rules of modern society (i.e. required clothing). Of course, 98% would still wear them normally, but np otherwise. I'd imagine more lawful societies would prefer clothing to unify them.

The Barsoom crowd -- well, sort of.

See, one day after they'd all been DECAPTITATED they were wandering around in a castle and came across a room containing...

THEMSELVES

Suspended in green floaty gas, looking like teenagers, and naked. As I wrote in that session's journal entry: "It's a good thing nobody got drunk in this room."

In one campaign I played, myself and the only other female gamer in the group were both playing the only two female PCs in the group. For some reason, the mage, the bard, and the rogue kept dropping fireballs on us - which would promptly burn away our clothes. They always swore it was an accident (this was in 2nd edition, and the DM had you roll to place a spell where you wanted it). My character tended to wear chainmail (although not for long after a firebal heated it up) so she had some interesting burn marks.

Yeah, Lawful Evil and Lawful Neutral ones. A Lawful Good Society can invoke this, and still be Lawful Good. Perhaps even more Lawful Good. The best defense against predatory sex crimes are a society of naked people.

A society that adopts nakedness doesn't have to be Chaotic.

The party my PC is with had a wild and crazy day of skinny-dipping and lazing about. The general lechery transpired, of course, the last session before I joined up. So THEY'VE seen each other nekkid. My character has kept his air of nobility and otherness and perfection. Awesome perfection.

Why do people always associate Nudity with Sex? That's mystifying to me. OF course, I'm a naturist, so what do I know?

That poison ivy is never going to be your friend.

Because nudity is not having your genital parts covered.

If you wear just briefs, you're nigh-naked, but not naked.
On the other hand, if you wear just boots, you're naked, despite wearing something.

Television! It's an advertisement conspiracy, I tell you!
