nuadity

Nudity is the state of wearing no clothing.[1] It is related to the concept of modesty and is sometimes used to refer to wearing significantly less clothing than expected by the conventions of a particular culture and situation, and in particular exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. There are many terms used to describe various states of nudity. These terms may vary between (or within) different cultures and contexts, and may change over time. Sometimes such terms are used as euphemisms, sometimes as poetic terms, or humorously. Full nudity is used to describe a state of complete nudity, with no clothing (or covering) whatsoever, while full frontal nudity refers to wearing no clothing and facing the observer showing the whole front side of the body, including the pubic area, as opposed to partial frontal nudity i.e.: showing only bare breasts; or non-frontal nudity such as showing the buttocks, the whole back side of the body, or the body as viewed from any other direction. The term partial nudity refers to a state of less than complete nudity, and is sometimes used to refer to exposure of skin beyond what the person using the expression considers to be within the limits of modesty. If the exposure is within the standards of modesty of a given culture and setting (eg wearing a bikini at a non-nude beach), terms such as nudity, partial or otherwise, are not normally used. If however, the degree of exposure exceeds the cultural norms of the setting, or if the activity or setting includes nudity as an understood part of its function, such as a nude beach, terminology relating to nudity and degrees thereof are typically used.
