Essentially I'm thinking this in afghanastan women cover their entire bodies. So men are attracted if women even show their feet by accident. They are kind of conditioned in such a way. In the US we are attracted to breast and buts. If women and men wore no clothes at all. After a while men would get conditioned not be be attracted to women for their bodies. It would be a less defining characteristic for reasons of attraction. Since men and women are not clothed.

I kinda get where you're going but I just can't forsee rape ever stopping...even if we all went naked for 500 years.

Your basic intention is appreciated, however cloths are for protection of body from hard weather and for external protection and for social comfort so it can't be avoided.
While coming to the point of bodily attraction, your point is right in one sense, but when it is considered on wholesome, it is not the total solution.
Because, these attractions are not just the outcome of exposing and hiding of body parts, rather these are results of
(i) many non-pure elements entering the body through food and resulting in negative impulses of the body. Like spicy, hot, drugs, alcohol, smoking, non-veg, stimulants, fast foods, saturated foods etc.
(ii) repeated negative and waste thoughts in the minds emerging out as some bad acts
(iii) bad company of people resulting in false mind sets
(iv) illusion about the fact that materialistic pleasures are purpose of life
(v) tendency of the negative minds to do the act, which they are not asked to do
(vi) not able to enjoy the real virtues of inner self
This is a multi facet problem which needs a holistic approach, but the solution of avoiding cloths may not be successful on a long term basis.
But your intensions are very good, hope to see a society free of any sexual intensions and any wrong acts .... Gods work in progress for a better world

Rape and sexual tension have absolutely nothing to do with clothing. If it were true, then aborigional people who don't wear clothes would never experience rape and sexual tension, yet they still do. That's like saying men in Brazil or Europe are not attracted to women's breasts because they have nude beaches there. Hogwash!

Rape is about power and control, one person exerting power over another. Dominance. Sexual tension is wanting soemthing that is perceived that we cannot have. The amount of clothing worn has nothing really to do with it.

Yes, however - some of us would eventually freeze. Clothing does not have such a limited reason. You do have a piece of a point but we could also all be dressed the same so we will at least stay warm. How's that working in schools?

I disagree with your hypothesis, but there is some merit to your reasoning. Men, being visually oriented, will be sexually attracted to whatever distinguishing features of a women they are exposed to. Completely clothes-less women would display softer, less-hairy skin, rounder overall features, and internal "nether-regions." Since heterosexual men tend to be attracted by gender-related differences, then there would be a greater degree of attraction with more to attract visually. So...no, nakedness would not help sexual aggression, nor would the moral advantages of women mostly covered in loose clothing eliminate all sexual attraction.

Rape happens in societies where people wear very little clothing. Rape is not about sex and attraction. It is about power and control and humiliation. A person who rapes has personal problems and issues that have nothing to do with the victim.

What a moronic theory. People rape other people not because of sexual attraction but because of power. They want to feel stronger and better than the other person.

Rape is not about sexual attratction, it's about control. So, no to your quesiton. I also think it would raise tension to see some guy walking around with a hard-on, people would wonder like "where is he going with THAT?", . . .
