Read Galatians 5:16 -26.

Especially verse 19 and find out what is meant by

Fornication
Uncleanness
Lewdness

Your research will tell you the answer.

Assuming you're coming at this from a somewhat conservative Christian POV:

The first question is why are you seeing your girlfriend naked?

There's a world of difference between seeing her naked because of some odd medical intervention scenario, and wanting to see her naked for sexual kicks.

What is the intent behind wanting to see her nudes?

Frank, your questions seems so odd to be almost funny sometimes that I question what you are really doing on this forum.

Are you serious always? Funny sometimes, serious other times? Putting us on?

No, it's not okay as a fundamentalist Christian to see her naked before you're married. Therefore, you two should turn off the lights first before getting into bed with each other.

Of course it is!!

Is it ok for your girlfriend (or boyfriend) to see you naked when you are unmarried?

Also, a resounding YES

As an atheist, I imagine that the people who wrote various scriptures way-back-when had several goals in mind. One of those goals was to put forth rules that would keep their people safe. So before there was science, monogamy was a good way to keep levels of STDs down.

But science has progressed, and it's not at all clear to me that abstaining from pre-marital sex is the best strategy for an overall healthy society.

Why? Do you have a girl friend? Or is this another bull in a china shop moment where you seek to be helpful to someone even though you really have no idea what you’re talking about?

Because the RF gods refuse to give them their own, private sub-Forum DIRs.

You mean this one?

Abrahamic Religions DIR

I mean, it's the OP's choice to put this in Q&A instead of their DIR. Maybe they want answers from people who don't care about Abrahamic scriptures? I mean, you gotta admit, @BSM1's response was the best. Wouldn't have happened if this thread was jammed in a DIR.

You’re assuming the Bible cares.
But to answer: Should the girlfriend not want it, then NO, it is NOT ok.
If the girlfriend wants the boyfriend to do so, then it is permitted.

The answer lies in the greatest commandment and the one LIKE it.

Friendship between Male and Female is still mystery to me let alone girlfriend and boyfriend.

Seeing your significant other naked may not be an issue but the concern is fire burns when comes in contact so best to avoid the situation if possible unless that is the intended outcome.

In regards to marriage it should be honourable and consummation of the flesh normally seemed to be the final marriage process.

Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Nah, ... I probably should have written: "Because the RF gods refuse to give them their own, personal sub-Forum DIRs", like this one: "Frank Goad DIR", and warn him every time he asks a question outside of it.
