So much to answer to.. Shall try my best.
First off, yes the naked body is natural. But that doesn't mean everyone should be naked, does it? Some people don't like the way the sun's heat feels on the skin, or the way the air does either. And some people do like the way clothes feel. If being naked in a clothed world is fine, being clothed in a naked world is fine too. If you don't want nudism to be singled out, don't single out that being clothed is "unnatural" or you just bring up a huge debate blah blah.
Next, you're born naked. Yes, this is true. However, you're also born without teeth or hair. As well, most big furry animals are completely bald when born. True, clothing is not something we grown ourselves. But simply using "born without clothes" as a point makes a horrible point, because there is a lot of things we're born without. And born with, for that matter. Such as the umbilical cord. So, we should keep that because it's a part of our body when we're born?
And finally, for as much as I care to reply to, sleeping in the nude being more comfortable. Yes, I find that it is more comfortable in ways. But as for sweating horribly under the blankets.. That has never bothered me. Strangely, that heat feels comfortable to me when I can barely stand in daylight without overheating something fierce. As for being warmer.. I don't know, I live quite far north, and attempting that during a nasty winter's night with all five of my thick quilts over me? Tried it, almost froze. Give me long underwear and a winter jacket to sleep in any day. And for the finally reasoning that sleeping naked is not always the most comfortable.. I'm not sure about every other male out there, but I find semi-tight boxers keeping my ah.. 'manhood' at bay is way more comfortable then letting it hang loose. Then again, I'm not a still sleeper. I move, and thus, letting myself hang out causes it to get into uncomfortable positions, or squished, and then I have to fix that before I can sleep well again.. I have always found that my boxers/briefs (I wear both) keep that from actually happening.
P.S. As a passing remark to the one who asked, yes. I have gotten dressed after sex before, just to go to sleep. (It's called her parent's living room couch. That would not have been a good morning otherwise.)
