On page 173, Shalit makes it clear that public opinion is shocked by public nudity. She uses an example of a man who couldn't help but stare at his friend's breasts at the beach; "My eyes rested where I knew they shouldn't." I was a victim of this same example on a trip to Miami. However, by the end of the week I was so used to seeing it that I was not phased. Is embarrassment in this situation natural modesty or culture shock?

I think that if a person doesn't see public nudity often then they would be shocked. On the other hand if a person is exposed to public nudity it wouldn't be that shocking.
