	Modesty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modesty comprises a set of culturally or religiously determined values that relate to the presentation of the self to others.
		Body modesty is the wish or requirement not to expose too much of the human body; this applies to the bare skin, but also to hair and to the display of undergarments, and especially to the intimate parts; it involves not only covering body parts, but also obscuring their shape.
		Modesty is conditioned by religion, culture, occasion, and who is present; for example, a Finnish person who might happily take all one's clothes off in a mixed sauna would probably not want to walk down the street naked.
