I’ve often thought of the class between “woman should be decent” and “woman should be as sexy as possible” as a conflict of two cultural forces. The ones that want to be puritan and the ones who are horny. Both are rather powerful in American culture.
How interesting. Don’t you think that in general women are more uncomfortable with another womans nudity whether or not it is for entertainment or not?
