Sex sells. In other words the title of John Updikes' short story "Nakedness" is attention grabbing. Off the bat you want to know who was naked? When were they naked? Where? Why? With who? Surprisingly Richard and Joan (a couple) and a young cop end up being on a nude beach. At first the couple and a cop standing near by are stunned that another couple ran by them naked, but they were curious to follow.
Again, all humans function that way. People want to know the juicy details to this "naughty deed" of being naked. It does take courage to follow a naked couple though... But they follow and what surprised us was that John Updike described the nude beach as having more clothes then the non-nude beach. It seemed that all the nude people had an emergency supply of clothes. But what for? Why did they have all these clothes? Why did the cop go with the couple to see the nude couple?
