There are circumstances in which nudity is not indecent is nudity as such should not be equated with physical shamelessness. Indecency is only where nudity is a negative role in terms of the value of a person plays [...] The human body is not in itself shameful, nor is it sensual responses for the same reason, and human sensuality in general. Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function of the interior of the person. "
