Yes, I think so you nakedest woman. I also agree with the comfortable vs. uncomfortable argument of nude vs. naked.

So then, if I don't feel uncomfortable being nude in any situation, does that mean I'm never naked?

If we were meant to be naked, we would have been born that way.

"Naked" is definitely a state of mind as opposed to a state of undress. I was once invited by a friend to come spend the day with her at her pool. As she was aware of my nudist inclinations, she proposed that that I go nude if I so desired. I accepted and stripped down; but I quickly became aware that she was a bit taken aback by the site of my actual nudity. As she kept blushing and looking away, I became very much aware of my nudity and her inner turmoil with it. At that moment, I felt naked. You could say that it was her reaction to my nudity that triggered a sense of vulnerability and nakedness.

Personally, I consider the word 'naked' a textile term. There seems to be a vulgar connotation to it. Nude seems (to me) a much healthier and respectful way of expressing the absence of clothes.

I'm constantly relating things to art when I come here (in my art life, there's always a debate somewhere between what is art and what is pornography).

Anyway, I've seen a lot of artistic nudes, but I have yet to see any artistic "nakeds".

I agree with the term "Nude is not Lewd" however naked can imply some form of shame.

For me "naked" is the word "nude" with a chuckle applied to it, as in; Surf Naked, Ski Naked and what we have embroidered on our towels, "Get Naked." There is no shame in any of it.

The words nude and naked are defined meaning without clothes (uncovered),i would say not much of a difference really. Nudist one who believes in the value of nakedness for health.In other words one can be nude/naked enjoying life naturally however they call it they'd be nude/naked.Its their choice.

go n nude

To me, nudity is voluntary, and is desired by the person being without clothing.

Nakedness is a state of profound, involuntary vulnerability, because of lack of clothing. .

“I rise early almost every morning and sit in my chamber, without any clothes whatever, half an hour or an hour, according to the season, either reading or writing.”
Ben Franklin

nude is being comfortable in your skin, naked is when a neighbor see you through the window or in the backyard and is not comfortable with your skin.
