According to a study (forgot source, but google it), people who refer to themselves as "nude" are more comfortable with their bodies as opposed to people who refer to themselves as "naked".

As a vacationing nudist, I can point out a few things: 1) Clothes protect you from getting sunburned. Granted if you were nude all the time you'd get a base tan and so forth, but that still leaves you more vulnerable to skin cancer. Also, if you see some people who sun worship a lot, their skin looks like leather. 2) Clothes protect you from a lot of scrapes and scratches. Especially back in early times it would be a lot better to wear animal skins instead of being scratched up by thorn bushes. 3) It's a lot warmer in the winter, and a lot warmer when it is raining. 4) When hunting, animal skins help you hide the human smell from the animals. Swimsuits are kind of stupid, as they are worse than being naked. When you are naked and get out, you dry off very quickly and don't drip pool or ocean water all over the place. Sunscreen is a relatively new invention, especially ones that don't dye your skin.

Well, the words have different levels of negativeness so you would be more comfortable sunbathing in the nude than walking down the street naked. Everyone uses both, just in different situations.

'Naked' sort of implies 'defenseless', so I can see why ppl would be more comfortable with nude. However, I use the word 'naked'.

For nudist and naturists, we prefer nude. Nude means unclothed. Naked means unprotected.
