My 0.02$ (Canadian):

Human reproductive organs aren't nearly as exciting when you spend four years sitting in on autopsies where the corpse is, surprise surprise, people are naked.

It also helps that my boyfriend's mother randomly doesn't wear a top at home because of her hot flashes, and I've woken up his dad once while he was naked. It's somehow lost its impact for me.

...and the people I work for wonder why I've told them, "No, I *really* don't care if you wander around your apartment naked."

	You get kinda desensitized in art school too, with the nude models. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My experience was that after about five minutes, the model not only ceases to be a naked person, he or she ceases to be a person (and becomes a collection of planes, curves, surfaces and shadows). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've often wondered if the models get creeped out by being looked at in the same way one would look at a building or car... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That's what I've found too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I didn't. Probably because we kept getting randomly RIDICULOUSLY HOT young female models who sometimes came onto me. (And seeing as I'd not really explored my bisexuality yet at the time, I TOTALLY DIDN'T GET TO FIND OUT WHAT THE FUSS WAS ALL ABOUT DAMN IT!) I say that I regret nothing in this life, but clearly that's wrong. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I edit medical papers. Even 4Chan doesn't phase me any more. Standard nudity almost fails to register, sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I was in the car with two coworkers. Somehow the two of them got to the topic of sleeping naked. "I could never. I'm afraid stuff will get...up there," said one. The other replies, "I'm afraid there will be a fire or something and I would have to flee the house naked and everyone will see me."

"Actually, I do in the summer and find it a lot more comfortable to sleep in the heat that way," I chimed in.

They gave each other this look and quickly changed the topic.

	"Stuff will get up there" -- What stuff? Are there ninja cooter dwarves that run about in the dark and stuff quails in your snatch? Is that where lost socks go? Housekeys? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Suddenly the stories about man-eating vaginas make much more sense... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TRUE STORY: I'm in an online, multiversal role-play where I have a character who is rumoured to have a rather nasty case of vagina dentata. Behold, my favourite icon. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I am now going to randomly blame things on the Ninja Cooter Dwarves.]

Flat tire? It was the Ninja Cooter Dwarves.

Paycheck delayed? Ninja Cooter Dwarves.

Tree in your backyard fell on your house? Ninja Cooter Dwarves.

Seriously though, I'm not sure what she expected to get stuck "up there." Nor do I know why the fact that sometimes I am naked is that dismaying, but maybe to her that was the great revelation on where all her lost socks went.

	They do get everywhere. Gah. I remember being out somewhere with a girl that I knew who was (for the most part) sane, rational and intelligent -- right up until she mentioned that she thought you could get pregnant through your belly button. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sounds like a boyfriend I had in college...and he was a bio major so he should have known better! But it sounds like this girl probably was sane, rational and intelligent, but sorely lacked sex ed! (Reply to this)(Parent)
