Nudity in Western culture

Nudity in front of strangers of the same sex is often more accepted than in front of those of the other or both sexes. For example when bathing or showering, in common changing rooms, etc. Sex-specific changing rooms and toilets serve to prevent accidental partial nudity in front of the other sex. In some cultures, to be seen naked, even by people of the same sex, is considered inappropriate and embarrassing.
