Man breaks with his original and original state and clothing becomes a necessary added cultural element in a society full of tensions and contradictions, dramatically removed from the laws of Nature. Thus, the sexual parts could be a factor of social and emotional discord and should be repressed and hidden. However, in all cultures there is still the memory of original nudity and its positive innocence, the longing that when man possesses himself, the nude may again be possible, as modern nudism claims.
