I have a lot of the same feelings about nudity. I prefer to be naked when sleeping, enjoy nude swimming, I find it relaxing to be naked or nearly so, and to be around others who are (hurray for Burning Man), I like being naked with friends, sometimes it has spiritual significance. I organised the Unisfa Annual Skinny-dipping expedition for years (I need to see if I can find someone younger and more in touch with the current membership to take over).
I'm probably more into nudity leading to sexual situations, by the sounds of it, but I value purely sensual nudity a great deal too.
On thing I'd add is that even purely sensual nudity is something I find really attractive because it indicates confidence and being comfortable with yourself.
I have to say, though, I don't really have a problem with people who do flaunt themselves a bit. I wouldn't do it myself, but it doesn't bother me when others do, especially if its a bit playful as well. Though I mostly agree on nudity to shock, especially as it doesn't shock me, or that many other people I know -- its sort of got underlying assumptions about the 'wrongness' of nudity that are the opposite of being comfortable with it.
