Some works feature nude characters that aren't concerned about their own nudity, but other characters watching are aroused and/or embarrased by the situation. Do they still deserve the casual_nudity tag?

Similar to nudity shown from an angle to focus on the genitals/butt/breasts of a character. Do these still count as non-sexual? I'm pretty sure not, since the situation is then meant to be put in a sexual light towards the viewers, but I'm just asking to be sure.

For the first question, as long as the nude character isn't embarrassed or being overtly seductive then it is still casual_nudity even if others aren't so casual about seeing it.

My understanding is that it isn't the image itself that is "non sexual" but the situation the character(s) is(are) in. So post #2459525 is really pushing it, but post #2527385 is well within the tag because she just happens to be naked while working on the car, not being sexy for the sake of anyone on her side of the 4th wall.

Some questionable cases:
post #2446289 This is definitely not in private, but since only one character is visible, we can't see how everyone else responds.
post #2730283 post #2631502 post #2591779 These take place in private, and the nude character seems to believe their behavior is perfectly normal, but others nearby are surprised/aroused/annoyed/etc.

For the most part, I agree with the comments above.

• The behavior of the nude character is most important for determining if casual_nudity is applicable. The nude character must be in a non-sexual situation. The nude character should not be aroused/concerned/embarrassed by their own state of nudity, or engaged in seductive behavior. Seductive behavior includes actions that aren't as explicitly sexual as sex or masturbation, but are still sexually suggestive (such as bedroom_eyes, presenting, or teasing).
• However, the reactions of other characters to the nude character isn't too important when determining if casual_nudity is applicable.
• Since a character must be nude for casual_nudity to apply, they must not be wearing any clothing. If a mostly_nude character is wearing clothing, but is still engaged in a non-sexual situation, then casual_exposure should be used instead.
• For the most part, the angle/focus of a post isn't much of an issue. Unless the angle/focus leaves the character's situation ambiguous or difficult to determine, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Here's another thing to consider: does the existence of casual nudity imply the existence of professional nudity?
