My conflict with this is that 90% of the people that i hear using the word "nudist" have no idea what they're talking about and mistake it for exhibitionism, which is NOT the same.

Nudism isn't sexual, exhibitionism is.

I can think of two possible scenarios:

1.- We change nothing but the fact everyone is a nudist now, society has no modifications.

Let's suppose tomorrow everyone suddenly collectively decided to be a nudist. The amount of sex crimes worldwide would triple, there'd be a Diddy at every corner, people working in dangerous enviroments would die or at the very least be wounded.

I think it'd take a couple centuries before nudity becomes fully normalized to the point it is no longer something new but the status quo.


2.- In this scenario we're making two big assumptions: everyone can keep their sexual impulses on check and everyone (especially influential religious leaders) was fully commited and accepting of global nudity.

I don't think clothing stores would disappear but they would become more specialized, they wouldn't sell everyday clothes because there is no need for such thing so they would sell only for specific activities, for example, industrial gear, coats for winger, etc.

People would still want to show their status and personal style and how would they do that without clothes? Jewelry and hairstyles, this also would include accesories for your pubic hair. Body painting could also be a popular thing.

Public sanity would be taken way more seriously as STDs would spread very easily by sitting on public benches for example, or at the very least, everyone would be carrying a towel everywhere which leads me to my next point: we still need somewhere to put our phones and towels in and that would be backpacks or satchels, another industry that would bloom due to nudity.

Sexual education in schools would've been implemented way earlier in our history as it wouldn't have been seen as such a taboo topic, especially in third world countries where there were movements and protests to keep it outside schools during its early implementation.

I'd also think that our current sense of modesty would be inverted: wearing little to no jewelry and bodypaint, in other words, the more naked the more modest.

- Muslims would collectively have a meltdown.
- Clothing stores would go out of business. No point selling something no one's gonna buy.
- Anyone living in an arctic region would freeze to death when they go outside. Can't sit next to the heater forever...
- Everyone includes children...
- Nude also means no armour or protective gear. Some professions require it. A welder would go blind without a welding mask (and not over time either, INSTANTLY!), and get burned without an apron or gloves.

This hypothetical scenario is never proposed by someone with enough forward thinking skills to anticipate the countless ways this would endanger and even kill people.
