The ratio of risk-reward when it comes to nudity is similar to that of the risk-reward associated with a helium balloon and a toddler.
While nudity sounds compelling, the actual percentage of people in the world who you would like to see naked is probably less than half.
Considerably less than half.
And the percentage of people in the world who you don’t want to see naked under any circumstances is probably greater than half.
In all likelihood much greater than half.
Therefore, if I was about to pull back a curtain and show you ten randomly-selected people who have removed all of their clothing, you might find yourself curious. Intrigued. Excited. Perhaps even aroused.
But statistically speaking, the odds of you seeing a naked person who you actually want to see naked is low.
Conversely, the odds of you seeing a naked person who you wish you had never seen naked is high.
As a result, the risk-reward ratio of nudity demands that you close your eyes before the curtain is ever drawn back lest your eyes fall upon an image that you can never forget.
Nudity seems compelling in theory, but in practice, it is only compelling under certain circumstances which are sadly less common in the world than you might initially think.
