Why do we wear clothes?

Have you ever thought about it? Every other animal doesn't wear clothes, except for us!

    Have you ever seen naked people wandering about? It's quite a fright..Go to spring break in a foreign country - your eyes will burn for days from the sights you see.

    Not everyone looks like a playboy bunny or Brad Pitt naked honey..

    Women with "Dorito" titties or men with what looks like a little "turtle-heads" poking out down yonder(genitals) yaouch!! Skin like leather, pale as powder, dry as the desert, big as houses, skinny as sticks, scars abounding, things a saggin down to the knee caps....

    Thanks but no thanks!
    I say let there be clothes honey!
    There's enough ugly in the world. Let's not add to it.

    When adam sinned we were shown right and wrong/ good and bad.

    Although not all, most animals have some sort of thick fur or pprotective scales, or feathers. Such protection is not without cost. For example, some animals have to shead most of their fur when warm weather comes along in order to tolerate the heat, and all such protection effects the ability to make use of the sense of touch. Humans have developed the ability to protect their skin through artificial means... allowing them to remove the protection for cleaning, change the type and amount, or even expose their bare skin at times when it may be advantageous to heighten the sense of touch to its maximum potential, such as when creating an intimate bond with a partner which may in turn lead to a more stable environment in which children may grow and learn.

    It's complicated... that's the point. Otherwise, why put up with being human... our lives are much more complex than those of most animals.

    #1 When it's winter we would freeze our asses off. And #2 1/2 of the stores we have today would have nothing to sell.

    Our fur left our body so clothes keeps us warm and also keep the sun rays of our body. so then we became so use to seeing each other with clothes on that nobody can be naked then.

    other animals have fur or feathers. we'd either freeze our butts off or sunburn to the crispy critter point. also just imagine running naked through a field of berry brambles. not a pretty picture.

    Mostly for protection, but there are many other good reasons, most of all which have been discussed/shown here.

    well we dont have fur as most of those irrational fellows,
    guess is a matter of necessity as comfort...

    i support nudity "privately", though wont deny it gets cold...

    we are reasonable animals, we are blessed cuz we can choose what fur to wear, instinctively!

    Answered Here's why ...

    Okay..., so I'm really technical so you are going to have to forgive me.

    We wear clothes to regulate body heat, protection from harmful sun rays, all sorts of things that will damage our skin and eventually our insides.

    It's protection that has been needed since cave men days!

    And other animals tend to have fur or some sort of protecting layer of something.


    I warned you!
