More interesting question, why does the taboo against nudity come from in the first place?

Almost certainly, few things have influence the formation of culture so much as religion.
Well i read most of them.
Because i only seen this in New York , NF. But i got kicked out of many of my classes for being gay. But i can kind of understand the locker room, but really i took it to heart. I mean so what people are gay , they are just like everyone ,with rights. Gay people arnt some creepers checking out every single person of the same sex. If they do there just like every guy or girl thats looking at the differnt sex.
I mean i seen a handful of kids get kicked out there classes and the locker room for being gay.
They didnt do anything but in class taking notes,or in the locker room changing for class.
I dont know all the laws off hand.But is that right to do that in New York.

edit- unless i misunderstood your post. mmm
Much of Western culture was formed by Christianity, simply due to a historically large number of Christians. There is no way they could have not influenced our culture, and for a long time Christian sects took a dim view of sexuality for various reasons.
Then comes the question of how to determine how an individual is actually gay. There may very well be several gay people already in the locker room that are in the closet about their sexuality; to stereotype and throw a person out of a social environment such as a school is a definite example of discrimination.
You can't go around pointing fingers just because you 'think' someone is a certain way -- it's ignorant to say the least.

In plenty of areas, natives had absolutely no problem with casual nudity. That this is a problem, says so much about the repression inherent in our society.

Uh, yes. That's the reason why people think it's a problem to have different genders undress together.
really? i have a problem with guys looking at me simply because im very insecure about my body. i dont like to do anything that attracts attention. nothing to do with religion. =|

Point is, if not for our sexual insecurities, undressing wouldn't "attract attention".

You wouldn't think that if you were an Australian native who was raised to think there was nothing wrong with going about nude.Point is, if not for our sexual insecurities, undressing wouldn't "attract attention".
I disagree, it would be if she were raised in a culture that placed no value on beauty the insecurity about appearance wouldn't exist.

my insecurity doesnt have to do with nudity specifically though. =\ and theres nothing that points to such a specific "sexual preference" being a result of religious influences.
