when did the human being first decided to cover their genitals?

Answer 1

All these walking "Bible Dictionaries" will repeatedly quote you from the Bible - "Adam & Eve story" like a autorepeat Tape Player.

My theory is during the Pre-Historic Stages of Human life - Cave Men Era - he/she could have unknowingly played around with the idea of covering oneself with animal skin or leaves due to the cold, heat or from the rain. Eventually this idea spread across different "tribes" and became a kinda of "Fashion Statement" to cover onself with skin or leaves - "It looks good to be covered and it protect me from nature!". After covering ones genitals for long periods of time, such habits eventually registers into the brain as a normal ritual. And from then on 'openly exposing' oneself could have been automatically classified as uncivilised or an individual with lack of taste.

Answer 2

Is your question really about when humans first wore any sort of clothing? Archaeologists argue for dates from over 1 million to 40,000 years ago, depending on their line of investigation. In other words, we don't know.

A common hypothesis is that it was the migration to cooler climates which led to the use of covering. Some researchers think that humans may have lost their fur appox. 1 million years before then -- an extraordinarily long time for Adam and Eve to have been innocent in the garden, even by Biblical standards.

As far as I know, these hypotheses are all about clothing in general, with insufficient evidence to posit a specific emphasis on covering genitalia.

Answer 3

Wow... That was a while ago - I can scarcely recall the day, it's so way back in history.

I guess it was about four in the morning, the day of the first frost of the onrushing winter months. I was still a young up-and-comer way back then, but I recall it... that something was slowly happening. My temperature needle was taking a dip. It was turnin' down like a giraffe’s neck just a-bendin' into the grass. It was droppin’ until its tip pointed right at the very gates of ole Satin's Hell, all frozen over.

My lips were turning blue, my hair and my fingers felt stiff, but nothing else seemed to be effected that way. I know I recall thinking that it was a good thing I wasn't going stiff as a board... this frosty business was all new to me. And that's when it happen, it was one of those moments frozen in time. I got the shock of all shocks, looking down... Gee whiz, it really was a frightening sight to take in all at once... you should have seen it! My toes were as frosty white as freshly cleaned goose down -- just'a covered in frost. It was that cold, man - like cold to the bone.

So, I bundled-up. Yep, that was the day, the first day I took cover, and I'll tell ya, I kept bundled-up after that... unless the sun was out, brightly shinning and high in the sky. When that ole thing is out and up, I gotta tell ya, it's all KOOL then, and I don't mean nothin' about stuff bein' cold.

Yep... I recall that dark morning vividly now that I think about it: December 16th, 1965. That’s the very day I had to robe myself against the cold, cold world, and it's the day I decided that it just wasn't worth a hoot hangin’ out when it's cold.

Answer 4

Nobody really knows. But according to Christian bible beliefs, it was when Adam and Eve were created. They ate an apple the evil snake told them to eat, and that God had warned them to not. Once they ate the apple the snake said they would be as powerful as God. But instead they saw themselves, they saw themselves naked and felt shame. They created leaves to cover themselves. God was angry now he knew of their disbehaviour. He punished them by banning them from the luxury they lived in and coming into here. The snake was punished to have no legs and forever only slide on the floor.

Answer 5

When..?...some people still dont, look at some Afican or South American tribes, all natural. It started not as a cover for the private area but to cover from the outside elements, or keep warm.

Answer 6

According to the Bible, it was when Adam and Eve ate from the apple tree of Knowledge, and then had the Knowledge of shame of nudity. Thus bringing the all popular question "what would life be like today if Adam and Eve hadn't eaten from that one apple tree?"

Answer 7

I have no idea where you see the word apple in the Adam and Eve story. No one knows what that fruit was that Adam and Eve ate, but it did bring about the factor of lust in the equation. I am glad that men cover themselves, who wants to see that thing.

Answer 8

When Adam realized that Eve was eyeballing the new guy with a huge **** at a dance in the Garden of Eden.

Answer 9

It all happened in the garden of eden when adam and eve ate from the tree that god told them not too when they did they realized they were naked and were ashamed so the covered themselves with fig leaves

Answer 10

Perhaps when they were standing too close to the fire they had just discovered - and sparks flew out. Yikes!
Of course it could also have been when Adam and Eve did their thing according to some sources.
