Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: What we think about nudity.
59 per cent of British people are either out-and-out uncomfortable naked, would prefer not to say or are unsure.
Only 42 per cent are comfortable in the buff.
Women (63 per cent) are significantly more likely than men (36 per cent) to feel uncomfortable naked.
Only 22 per cent say they often walk around the house naked when no one else is in.
Fewer than one in three (29 per cent) sleep naked in normal temperatures.
Three in four (73 per cent) have never gone skinny dipping.
65 per cent of people agree British people are too easily offended by matters relating to sex or nudity.
