Nude vs. Naked

Although used interchangeably, the use of the words nude and naked need some major clarification. I feel there is a subtle yet very important difference between the two.

Nude is a state of being psychologically and physically comfortable without clothes or covering. It is asexual in nature.

Naked, on the other hand, is being without protective clothing, psychologically or physically uncomfortable, or displaying overt sexuality.

The following photographs are in the nude classification. Please enjoy the beauty that is mankind.
