Why does it embarrass you?

As an adult, I’ve come to accept the human body as it is. It comes in two genders, many sizes and shapes and several attractive colors. The human body is not erotic in itself, but the things men and women do with their bodies can be very erotic.
I am also of the opinion that actions of themselves are not erotic, but the intention with which the action is done makes the act erotic.
So why would a pantsing be so erotic? Maybe the pants-er has the satisfaction of the power from literally pulling it off, but for the pants-ee it’s simple nudity not of their own making.
I suppose it would be embarrassing for the recipient if the person being pantsed is somehow ashamed of his or her own body.
My body is like my car: it’s old, has a lot of mileage on it, has scratches and dings all over it, but still runs good. I’m not ashamed of it. It has been seen a few times by people who normally would not have a reason to see it, but I weathered those events with humor.
However, I did not start life with a good self-image of my body. I was raised very strict Catholic and anything that had anything to do with sex was either regulated (the Church had strict rules on with whom, when and how and why you are allowed have sex) or it was an outright sin. We were taught to be exceptionally modest.
There was no way that you were allowed to expose your body to anyone else, especially a member of the opposite sex. As a boy masturbation was off the table and even having impure thoughts was a sin. Girls had it even worse, they were not allowed to dress or act in such a way so as to give boys “impure thoughts.”
If there is any brainwashing technique that would make children think that there is something bad about their bodies, the Catholic Church of the 1950’s probably had the best of them.
Up until school age, most children have a limited sense of modesty especially with siblings. I have a sister, but I can’t recall either of us seeing the other naked. Normal modesty kicks in around grade school and by the time puberty hits the modesty meter peaks. Children of that age (probably more girls than boys) have a difficult time accepting their changing bodies.
So, maybe this is why I have my stories set with characters in mostly middle school age. Old enough to be modest, but not so confident with their bodies that they can “blow it off.”
