    It wasn’t intended to be sexual, necessarily.

    Part of women’s lib was freedom from restrictive decency laws.

    It makes sense when you see what bathing suits used to look like.

    And the fact that police would enforce bathing suit rules at public beaches

    Star Trek was released in the 60s when the bikini and the miniskirt were very popular and countercultural, so modest clothes would have seemed anachronistic (well, not futuristic).

    Imagine a space burqa.
