Why do we cover our body ?
-
i don't know about being courteous because my religious mumbo-jumbo staes you are only held responsible for yourselves (own souls).
but why in relation to other people? there are nude beaches, where it would be akward if you did wear clothes.
"court-e-see" kinda depends on whose court your in? -
Therefore it can be courteous to at least help others not be instinctive beasts and also you give others signals that you do not need to show your Body.
I know many people will not be spiritually enlightened sufficiently to share the same idea so you simply will have to look another way as you meet them if you feel that looking at them will stimulate the sex instinct into something undesirable. We cannot force them to cover themselves although if sufficient amounts of people will show disproval they might change.
We cannot force people to grow spiritually.
Be safe

peace to all,
just now a question poped in my head about dress thing. I was thinking, what is the main purpose of wearing dress or covering our body ? Is it to protect our body parts from getting hurt or like protecting our skin or certain parts which needs extra care to be healthy, like not getting infection or scars ?
OR is it about shame ?
If shame than why did God gave us something that we should feel ashamed of ? Of why should we be ashamed of God's creation ?
peace
i guess only people who get leered at for being attractive can understand this
unless you're an attention seeking person, there's no reason to dress lightly, or like a slut as i call it
the reason to dress is primarily for geographical reasons, then because of others
-
You are an "attention-seeker" because you are addicted to the hormone rush involved through the instinct. Satan is the problem.

Many tribal people's in hot countries wear absolutely minimal clothing and these peoples are often more spiritually focusedl than those who are raised in developed religion based societies, fully clothed. Clothing or lack of it has no bearing on spirituality and righteousness. I thinks it is culture that establishes morality and appropriate sexual behaviour. While there are individual preferences, different parts of the body are considered erotic in different cultures and beauty is also culturally influenced. Tribal people's have harsh punishments for those who break the rules and though they may not wear clothes, I think there is probably less rape and sexual molestation in their societies than in ours.

The Qur'an says 7.26
O CHILDREN of Adam! Indeed, We have bestowed upon you from on high garments to cover your nakedness, and as a thing of beauty but the garment of God-consciousness is the best of all. Herein lies a message from God, so that man? might take it to heart.
If we bear in mind questions of climate, around the world and around the year, nakedness should be more concern fromthe point of view of health and coomfort than fromthe point of view of shame as it is taken for grnted without proper foundation.
the foundation is biology
The shame as to the sexual parts I am not at all sure that the Qur'an means that rgarding the tree adam should not come near to.
but in the quran it says to subdue the eyes to not look at the private parts or something along that line

these tribes also never stepped on the moon or build buildings taller than the tallest trees they saw in their forest
you should read about the aboriginals in australia and the kind of practices they have there -

Although the later cover their women head to toe..Yet in summary
Fashion style has nothing to do and / or correlation with morality, spirituality or technological advancement. -

Here are some reasons to cover our bodies. Clothes provide comfort from heat
and the cold, clothes serve as a barrier between the skin and surfaces.
clothes cover the private parts (why do you think they are called
"privates" in the first place) Some clothes are attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Clothes can protect us from insects and scratches (that could be an irritant
or possibly be a cause of infection).peace
