Sexual Shame
#26
RE: Sexual Shame
It might have some sort of context from an evolutionary standpoint.

This is pure conjecture, but there might be a competitive bias to not wanting your genitals exposed, combined with the idea that lots of diseases can be transmitted/caught through an exposed anus/genitals. This begs the question, but doesn't it sort of level the playing field for males with smaller penises to want things covered up? (The question begged being does bigger penis = better?) I don't know that there is any correlation between this and other selective traits (intelligence, male parental investment, race), but it there's got to be something there considering clothing of some sort predates Christianity by some 120,000 years.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
