is nudity normal?

For quite a long time, I've been battling with myself and the idea of nudity, and whether it was something that was intrinsically bad or not. I have decided that it isn't.

When I started to discover my "style" and express myself through what I wore, I began to realise that I was (and still am) drawn to shorter, sheer, flowy kind of things. Obviously not everything I wear will show off my bra or whatever, but I do like that kind of stuff, and it kind of started to eat me up inside that I do like that stuff.

I personally think, that I've been feeling bad about it, because of my own Christian upbringing. I feel that Christian beliefs have been embedded in the system and also been taught to our parents, us, our children ... EVERYONE. All of these beliefs have been what all of these "social rules" have been based on, and the idea that nudity, less clothes = bad, no self respect isn't an exception. A lot of the things that I've experienced have told me that wearing these shorter, sheerer kind of clothes, is bad. I don't hate my family and the people around me, but I do feel that they have really put unnecessary stress on me. 

This conflict with how I felt and what I was being told made me question this whole "issue." Is nudity ACTUALLY, bad? Is there anything morally wrong with it? No. I don't think there is. Wearing less clothes isn't going to kill someone. Wearing less clothes also doesn't mean that I have less self worth and self respect than a girl who wears more clothes than me. That is just a lie that we're told, so that women can't express their sexuality through clothing freely. It's important to really question all the things we're told are "bad" or that we can't do, and really ask ourselves if it's true, or not.

Another thing that I've had an issue with, is the fact that women's bodies are sexualised way, too much. We tend to sexualise women's bodies so much, that girls in schools are not allowed to show their shoulders, or wear short shorts on extremely hot days, because they'll be a "distraction" (meaning you've just sexualised a teenage girl's shoulder and legs. Gross). Why do we do this? Why do we always associate women's bodies with sex? Why can't a woman be wearing a mini skirt and a bralette because she felt good in that outfit and nothing else? Why do we always assume that a woman is wearing smaller clothes for men? Why does she always have to be sexual? And so what, if she does, want to be sexual? She can be if she wants to be, but it most certainly isn't for you (men).

So yeah. I've really been battling with this for quite a while. I've decided that I'm going to wear whatever I want though, because I know why I wear the things I wear and I don't need to explain it to anyone. I may just want to wear a bralette, denim jacket and shorts. It doesn't mean I don't have any self worth, or self respect. I freaking love myself and what I wear, doesn't change that.

What are your thoughts on nudity, smaller clothes, etc guys? Do you think it's acceptable or not? Why? Any experiences? Similar or completely different? I'd love to know!
