Wikipedia

Nudity means nakedness. When talking about people, nudity means that the people talked about are not wearing any clothes.

Nudity can also mean that a person is wearing less clothing that other people would expect. In this regard, nudity is related to culture. Cultures talk about modesty. A given culture uses modesty to express how people should behave and what people should wear, in a given situation. A person wearing less clothing than expected will sometimes be called "nude", in that context.

Nudity can also talk about how a person feels. People that do not wear things they usually wear, such as jewellery, wigs or makeup may feel "naked", or "exposed". They also may feel ashamed because they wear less things than is usual for them.

When talking about an animal, other than people, nudity means that the animal does not have hair or fur.

Levels of nudity.

There are different levels of nudity. Societies have different moral values for these levels. One such level in English is called "full frontal nudity". This usually is a pose where the nude person faces the viewer. In this pose, there are no things covering parts of the body. Many societies see this as very bad. The image below called "Truth" shows this pose.

Most movies try not to show this type of nudity. This is often done by putting an object somewhere. This object will hide the pubic area of the naked actor or actress. This kind of nudity can also be seen in the picture "Woman Bathing" above.
