Nude Aliens?

I had a random thought awhile ago that's been bugging me ever since.

Assume for the moment (despite the lack of hard evidence) that most of the eye-witness accounts of alien abductions are true - that occasionally some space bois decide to come to Earth and perform experiments on humans.

Why are they always naked in these stories?

Human started wearing clothing long ago, and this trend doesn't seem to stop anytime soon. Even though nudity isn't intrinsically sexual, no one would be able to focus on anything but sex if we decided to go naked all of the sudden. We wouldn't be nearly as productive as a species and would likely never become space-faring.

So why would the aliens be naked? If their biology is similar to our own, they obviously reproduce similarly and would likely have ran into the same dilemma as us.

One could argue that they also do not appear to have genitals in these descriptions, and that perhaps they removed them long ago and hence do not need clothes in order to avoid sexual distractions. But wouldn't this seem a bit extreme, given that it severely inhibits reproductive ability? Or perhaps the advent of gene editing, artificial wombs and other technologies allowed them to transcend standard reproductive procedures. Could they instead be merely biological vessels and not the actual organisms themselves?

>inb4 you're high
Yeah but that's besides the point, I wasn't high when I came up with this shit.

they are perverts that's why they are nude

Higher evolved beings may get over the shame.

Because that's how Hollywood has always depicted them and that's what these fake stories are based on.

If we assume they are true, then there must be some reason they are screwing with earthlings.

This boils down to two things: they can travel insane distances at little cost and, either the universe is filled with life or they are nearly omniscient of things in the cosmos.

There is practically zero reason to study earthlings beyond some statistical analysis in almost any scenario. There is definitely no reason to want to claim Earth even with the commonly cited motive of mining gold.

In spite of this, we are to assume they are here. They are a species so whimsical as to kidnap and anal probe people for pornography and somehow not whimsical enough to begin open trade or other types of conflict. All of this and you are wondering why they are naked?

The only reason I can think of is so Jesus has a litmus test for the wickedness and perversity of man. Final judgment begins on such a day that a thirteen year old male of esteemed heritage masturbates to skull fucking one of the greys. Yep, right there in the bible for sure.

Zeta reticuli grays are not naked. They have a tight form fitting garment. The only other aliens that have contacted humans directly are the tall whites, and they wear similar garments for thermal equilibrium

>Why are they always naked in these stories?
They're not.

ayy lmao

The mantis I saw wore a black cape and hood. It didn't cover him entirely but I never see anything that black again for decades. Last year in the news as a matter of fact.

tight fitting organic fabric, like a highly advanced neoprene body suit, also hides genitals and makes everyone look androgynous
i mean it's not like i believe in the stuff but you can come up with a plausible reason quite easily

this

clothing has far more purposes than just cultural shame at nudity (which in many countries is quite minimal, or irrelevant in certain contexts). like comfort in variable temperature and conditions, for example.

>keep house (spaceship) at constant ideal temperature
>live alone or with people you know very well for long time
>don't have to go outside often, just stay in and do science
I think would stop bothering putting on clothes pretty soon.

They're here for bitcoin

>no one would be able to focus on anything but sex if we decided to go naked all of the sudden
That's not how it works

environmental suit.

I was once abducted by an alien in suit

A tuxedo?

>Why are they always naked in these stories?
The greys are machine elves. They are from another dimension, and have no sexual reproduction. They therefore don't need clothes.

I don't know what they do, but apparently they deal with shamans and sometimes disguise as owls. And possibly have a fight with the spider aliens.

They might be employed as maintenance personel of this world.

I think they must do a lots of their anal probing thingy and its much less messy to lube up if naked

They're cold-blooded, have cloacas, and all of them are gay. Next question?

Would robots or biosynthetic creatures need/desire clothing? It's a means to maintain temperature first, fashion second.

When temps are much more flexible, there's no need for clothing. There's no shame, either, and no sexual angst to worry about if you're all genderless.

They are also likely flexible on what they can breathe to maintain bodily functions if they are biosynthetic creatures designed for interstellar missions to other planets, thus no need for suits and no susceptibility to contagions.

They upright bipedal design is likely a common universal occurrence seeing as though it frees up two hands for handling things, and two legs make it much easier to navigate over various terrains with least energy use.
