The way we feel and think about nudity is split down a gendered line. I’m not even going to bother arguing or belabouring that point as it is remarkably self-evident. I do want to talk about naked women though. One in particular, the Aphrodite of Knidos, who happens to be made of marble.
Pliny, writing centuries after its creation, describes how people would sail from all over the place to come and visit the sculpture. The story goes that Praxiteles sculpted two Aphrodites, one clothed (or, more accurately, draped) and one fully naked. He offered the sculptures to the ancient residents of the islands Kos and Knidos, with Kos getting first dibs. Kos picked the draped, demure model while the Knidians accepted the spicier version gladly (presumably). It was so lucrative as a visitor attraction that when King Nikomedes tried to buy it off the Knidians, offering to get rid of the huge pile of debt they’d accumulated, the Knidians refused. They kept the statue and kept raking it in.
