Why naked?

My urge to be tied usually goes along with being naked. Heck, if it were allowed, I would be happy being naked almost any place any time the temperature permits. It feels right.

Throughout the history of life, nudity and sex have virtually nothing in common. Unfortunately, in our culture, nudity is associated with sex and perversion. Lets untangle some of these intertwined threads...

What factors drive nudity while being tied?

1) A larger sense of helplessness and vulnerability. Somehow that is an important part of being tied up.

2) A sense of exposure, no part hidden, truth, a kind of intimacy.
Accepting helplessness and total exposure tends to open cosmic connections. It is also very much like being born.

3) Risk of being caught, embarrassed, nothing you can do about it. Breaking a taboo.
The current strength of sexual drive tends to drive the need for risk.

4) There is often, but not always, an element of sexual fantasy.
Strangely enough, being naked is not closely related to that.
