I've had plenty of dreams- and still occasionally have them- where I show up to class one day and, surprise, there's a test. I am completely unprepared. The blood drains out of my face, my heart rate accelerates, and my skin flushes. These are not pleasant dreams. Thankfully, I've never been naked in them, despite that being an archetypical nightmare of our overschooled society.
Being caught naked in front of everyone. No clothes to hide behind, everything on display. Everyone can see us for how we really are- corporeally, of course. Terrifying. They see parts of us we'd rather keep private or only reveal in intimate moments. Even the thought of someone walking in on us while we're changing is an unpleasant thought. One has to be very confident with themselves to be comfortable being naked around others. This is irrespective of the aesthetics of that person's body, of course. A beautiful girl can be self-conscious while an ugly girl can be completely accepting and loving of how she looks. I bring this up not because this is an appeal for public nudity- but rather as a metaphor for conversational nudity. This is an appeal for naked conversations.
