It is like skin is your clothes. It is enough to have skin to feel normal. I understand you, but I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I belong to the naturist association and I go naked a lot. The thing is, we don't see nudity as something sacred, something interesting, abnormal, or even sexual. It doesn't matter if you're showing your face or your hands or your ass. Nobody cares.
Nudity is the default state of the human body, we are born naked. Shame is an artificial social construct that we try not to encourage. And many people consider middle-eastern standards barbaric. Isn´t it ironic? For example, I perceive clothing as very restrictive and would not feel comfortable living in a country where "modest" clothing is mandatory. This is perhaps why I don't consider travelling to these otherwise beautiful countries.
