Line 203:
** Elves of the [[Forgotten Realms]] normally don't see any problems with nudity, and humans who dealt with them too much (including the Seven Sisters) sometimes pick up their habits. Though they make adjustments to not become too much of a distraction when among the humans. In books, citizens of Cormanthor (''Elminster in Myth Drannor'') considered a handful of enchanted gems stuck to the skin to be a fashionable dress, and for the ladies of Evereska (''Return of the Archwizards''), the discovery that men who see them swimming start to breathe heavily was rather disconcerting. Drow also got Eilistraee—as one of the authors put it, "goddess of butt-neckid moon dance". To be fair, in her case, her nudity is supposed to represent freedom, which she embodies.
** ''Every'' female character pictured in ''[[Dark Sun]]''; way too hot for armor on the post-apocalyptic setting of Athas, and anyone who does not become a capable fighter will not last long, so the typical female adventurer is a [[Hot Amazon]] in a [[Chainmail Bikini]].
** The Vaati (aka Wind Dukes of Aaqa) are powerful beings associated with the [[Dismantled MacGuffin| Rod of Seven Parts]]. Both genders are tall, muscular humanoids who rarely wear clothing; being spirits of elemental air, they don't exactly need it to keep warm.
* The Nazzadi in ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]''.
* ''[[Exalted]]'' has the [[Artificial Human|Alchemical]] ''Thousand-Faceted Nelumbo'', who, given that she's a cold-proof robot and a loner by necessity, usually doesn't wear anything other than a cloak, which she casts off during a fight. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]], however, in that she's actually aware that this attracts stares-the cloak can reshape itself into normal clothing if she's forced into a social situation.

** Notable for doing it to raise awareness about the raw-food lifestyle. Now why people insist any lifestyle choice is inherently a "cause", is another thing.
* It does exist in certain situations: In some countries, like Germany or Finland, going completely nude into public, mixed-gender saunas is pretty much normal, which may surprise people from other places who are used to everyone covering themselves with bathing trunks, bikinis or towels.
* Reportedly, [[Joan of Arc]] decided it would be a bit pointless to worry much about modesty while travelling with the army, and was therefore frequently at least topless while getting in and out of her armor. Soldiers later testified that they felt no desire for her; whether this meant that she wasn't very attractive<ref>Probably not the case, based on some of the testimony given after her death at her "Rehabilitation".</ref> or that they did not want to admit to sexual desire for someone who was beloved to the point of worship is up for debate.
** Manners and habits were really different in medieval Europe, people were far more comfortable being nude around relatives and servants, or in certain circumstances (such as going bare-naked to the bathhouse from your house).
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130624132827/http://healthmad.com/mental-health/vestiphobia-the-fear-of-clothing/ Vestiphobia]—from Latin ''vestis'' (clothing) and Greek ''phobos'' (fear). A paranoid fear of clothing usually caused by a traumatic experience linked to cloth, it can be as minor as feeling very uncomfortable when wearing certain types of materials, to the point of being completely unable to handle getting dressed. One of the most common symptoms of vestiphobia is an overpowering conscious or subconscious desire to remove the offending articles of clothing. Unlike [[Naked People Are Funny|fiction]], this is [[Nightmare Fuel|not as]] [[Fridge Horror|funny as it sounds]].
