While i agree in the idea of destigmatizing sex, consent (or lack there of) is a key part in why this is so traumatic, without even considering the negative and wrongfully directed anger often targeted at the victim by their community.
I agree. I call myself a closet naturist because I’m all for the human body just being a human body and not ridiculously hyper-sexualised. But I’m also a sexual abuse survivor and that same hyper-sexualisation makes me very wary and anxious around people who are not also naturists.
I’ve been assaulted way too many times WITH clothes on to trust the general population who can’t comprehend that a naked body =/= sex and an open invitation.
Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.

yeah having your bodily autonomy removed for any reason is a traumatic experience.

Remembering this from Community.
“It’s Vietnam!” And he laughed. They had no idea what they were in for.
