Do you think clothing can encourage sexual objectification? That is, can it encourage us to sexually objectify people? Why or why not?
If so, do you think clothing is more or less likely to encourage sexual objectification than nudity? For instance, would you be more likely to expect strangers to see you as a sex object when you were clothed while walking along a city street, or when you were nude while walking along a resort trail? Why?
To what extent, if any, does sexual objectification depend on the person doing the sexual objectifying, and to what extent, if any, does it depend on the clothing, or lack of clothing, that someone is wearing?
Last, if you believe you would be less likely to be objectified by strangers at a nude resort, than by people in a city, is that actually because you are nude, or is there some other reason why that would be the case? For instance, perhaps nudists are for some reason more accepting of people in totality than non-nudists. Or perhaps, nudity itself is somehow a reason not to sexually objectify someone. What do you think?
