Availability is an interpretation, not a fact. You can be nude and uninterested. Clothed and curious. Wrapped in a towel and perfectly autonomous.
Confusion happens when we treat nudity as performance. If a body is always “for” someone, presence becomes provocation by default. That’s how we end up blaming victims for being visible and excusing violations as “misread signals.”
Let’s try a better script:
- Desire requires dialogue.
- Attention requires consent.
- Interest is expressed—never assumed.
Normalize those rules and nudity stops being a negotiation. It returns to what it has always been: a human baseline, capable of intimacy, yes, but not defined by it.
Your body can be seen without being seized. Anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t confused. They’re entitled.
