140. Apples and oranges..."In THAT environment" is the key here, right?

Your cancer patients are not at their best, are they? Not healthy, athletic, smiling, glowing, energetic. So comparing naked sick people with naked healthy people and saying you feel no lust for the sick people (who you view as biological anyway--a cancerous mammary gland rather than a big, beautiful breast) is really apples and oranges. Add to this that you see a lot of nudity so, as in a nudist camp or tribes where people walk around naked, it has no mystery and thus no allure.

Which is to say, nudity isn't the point. The stripper isn't just naked but doing an alluring dance around a pole. The topless waitress isn't just topless, but busty and jiggling the breasts in the man's face. What arouses a man or woman is what she doesn't usually get to see (which is why, back in the 19th century, a man could be aroused by seeing a woman's ankle), combined with certain sexually alluring attributes like health (etc) and the suggestion of sex to come in pose, look, etc.

So your argument that you're not aroused by naked bodies in THAT environment doesn't argue for how much control we have over feeling lust. Just how inured to nudity we can become if surrounded by it and taught to view it as other than sexual.
