Are unclothed children more likely to touch themselves

Some families are less conservative when clothing children. Depending on culture, climate or something else the kids may be playing while uncovered below the waist resulting in unimpaired access to their sensitive parts. Is a naked child, or a fully clothed child, more likely to touch their private parts? If you have multiple experiences, consider taking this poll multiple times.

Have you ever seen a child either completely naked or naked waist down?
