There is no difference between the words "naked" and "nude", in my opinion the words are pretty much interchangeable. The only thing that is different is how one interprets the words. A "nude" or "naked" body can be represented in a variety of ways. Most people will use the word "naked" when referring to a body presented in an arousing or sexual way, "naked" has a raw connotation, whereas many people use the word "nude" when referring to a body presented in an artistic way, which focuses on the form and shape of the body. I believe that it is the presentation of the "naked" or "nude" body that makes the difference, not which word is chosen to describe it. For example, if a strip club uses the phrase "all nude dancers" one does not attribute the strip club to art just because the word "nude" was used...
