Lust is considered morally wrong by the Abrahamic religions.
Nudity is a cultural thing. In some cultures, nudity is a part o everyday life so it doesn't hold the stigmatism it does in the US. However, I think it is a sin to use nudity to tempt somebody to lust after you.
Besides, I can't imagine disrobing for a shower to be sinful. lol.

Lust is a sin.
Nudity is not a sin, but being nude in front of another person for the purpose of enticing lust in that person is a sin.
I guess we coould debate whether a wife seductively taking her close off in front of her husband with the purpose of bringing out lust is sinful or not.
To me, lust is the desire of another person as a means to satisfy ones own physical desires. Lust denies the human dignity of the other person and reduces the other person as merely an object. This is sinful even in the context of marriage. Spouses need to respect each others dignity during sex.

Neither, if you're doing it right..... nudity is just nudity, we're born that way, it's people that attach charged meanings to it....Lust is essential to the perpetuation of the species, so that in and of itself isn't a sin, either.... People get in trouble for it when they're lusting after someone who is innapropriate, or in an innapropriate manner,.... but Lust, in and of itself, is essential to successful mating.....

Lust is a sin.
Nudity is not a sin in of itself, but it can easily cause others to lust, which causes them to sin. Jesus did say it is better to have a milstone tied to you and be thrown into the sea than to cause others to lust.
Just be careful and mindful. That's all

It is a sin to commit lust and to tempt others into it.
Matthew 5:28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Colossians 3:5
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Causing others to sin is equally wrong. Theres a passage in 2 Corinthians, I can't remember it word for word, but it talks about how its a sin to cause your brother or sister to stumble...

Lust is the sin
But let us not forget the seven deadly sins were theological concepts developed in late antiquities and the middle ages. Most of that culture is lost to u and we tend to interpret them with concepts we are familiar with.
Lust, for a medieval theologian, meant the seeking, or pursuing of the pleasures of the flesh - if the pleasures of the flesh came to you, perhaps God himself meant them to. And who would you then be to resist?

Lust is the sin- if acted on.

neither - nudity is natural and lust is a vice, unless you count the 'deadly sins'...

Great question!! According to some, and, if I can take it further, does this mean that God committed the first sin by making us unclothed?
Namaste

lust is the act of sin.
If you look at nude pics, people, then that is sin.
