00:07Two persons can breed six kids without ever having gotten naked in front of each other.

00:14There can be a man, there can be a woman and they can have six babies without ever having seen each other naked.

00:23Not because they were having sex in the dark, but because nakedness is much more than taking off your clothes.

00:31There are so many people who get naked in front of each other.
