If you lived in a world of naked bodies, there would be no need to go out and buy pictures of them. The basic idea is that clothing reduces the supply of "scenery". This why playboy can get away with charging you 3 bucks to look at something that was originally free. I believe Freud had a word for it: TABOO. It represents dicipline in it's purest form, without reason. Playboy represents the most sinister form of phychology, seduction. John.
