Interesting but.. I didn't download the full thing.. so I might sound stupid but, I think that the people who were answering this were 1. Nudist or naturists 2. People who basically like nudity cuz of pleasure.
I'm saying this because some of the answers are really like literally saying that.. + I know people in the states are stuck up , but no one asked those who are under 18, yet they are for sure the most. How do you say that.. self-aware body wise or something?..
I also find the result that the younger " adults" have skinny dipped more than old generations.. I don't know why but I find it absolutely not true.
I also find it interesting and in a way I learned that a while ago actually, that the the Richer people, are the more adventurous ones.. whether that means being a nudist or naturist.. or even swingers with expensive reservoirs or cruises etc.
On one hand, possibly accurate, sadly. On the other hand barely over 1000 people polled means that it polled less than 20 people "per state", and anyone with an ounce of sense would recognize that attitudes about a lot of things, but especially nudity, whether or not its serial, women's rights, etc. all vary *wildly* between US states, to a point that, on some topics, its almost like 2-3 completely different countries. Let's see a poll that isn't such a tiny percentage of the whole population that it could easily be skewed, despite the apparent range of demographics, by purely being mostly southern states, or mostly the east coast, or some other quirk in the data set.
Yes, the United States is a very diverse country. A similar YouGov poll in the UK showed a wide range of opinions about nudity. My impression is that broadly speaking the UK has more liberal attitudes to nudity than the US and that some countries on the European continent such as Denmark, Spain, Czech Republic are more accepting of the human body than in the UK. But anywhere you go there are people who if they saw their neighbour sunbathing naked would be shocked to the core while the neighbour on the other side could be perfectly OK with it.
The thing that I find puzzling is why there is such a strong taboo about seeing female nipples. I find breasts attractive and so do many of us I assume, but why is it that nipples in particular are often regarded as so shocking that the sight of one could harm a child? In the version of the Godfather films edited for television the scene where Al Pacino's character sees his wife topless on their wedding night is clumsily censored but later in the film someone is shot in the eye and we see all the horror of the cinema version.
Media. Decades, on decades, one decades, of the US media treating women's breastfeeding as "nudity", and either censoring them, and/or pushing merely showing them as being pornographic. All built on, ironically, your own statement, "...I find breasts attractive...", which, because of this would almost certainly trigger a very loud reaction from the very women trying to fight for topless freedom, to the effect, "It's not about whether or not you think my tits are attractive asshole!" Which just makes the whole thing even more of a mess over here.
Seriously.. I hate auto complete. I caught the instance when it tried to replace breasts with beasts, but utterly failed to see it replacing the other one with breastfeeding... and you can't even edit the flipping thing after to fix it... sigh...
Seems nudity is more acceptable than it used to be

All in all what all of this actually tells us?
