Different levels of acceptance of naked human body in a social setting in Europe and Asia. I personally have experienced it and find it non-sexual. It is not explainable why such basic human aspect is seen differently in Asia. Social mixed gender nudity has to become more acceptable.

Different cultures particularly Asians and Europeans view the naked human body in a social situation, very differently. I have lived and experienced both these cultures quite extensively, being born and grown up in Singapore and now living in Western Europe. In Singapore and Malaysia the view of nude human body is a complete taboo, at home itself and of course as a consequence it is something unimaginable in a social setting. However here in Europe, people from both the genders are very accepting of naked bodies of same as well as opposite genders. The very wide availability and use of mixed gender nude facilities proves that. Me having experienced it first hand over a long time now am absolutely certain that after some time viewing the naked body becomes very normal and has no sexual connotation to it. (I am yet to experience social nudity alone, I still do it only along with my husband together and only then do I feel comfortable. This I believe is because of my upbringing, where human nudity is a taboo). I ask myself, Is being naked with others of all the genders, together as a recreation maybe, really something totally non sexual and normal? And when this is the case, which I feel it is, why is it not accepted in Asia and some other similar cultures? How can such a basic human aspect be viewed so completely differently in different cultures? (Please see that I posted this earlier today but the post was removed by the moderators because of incomplete title. I have now presented my idea more elaborately in the title and reposting.)
