I suppose this is like what happens when you dream - if you've ever had a dream where you were naked in public or similar, your subconscious is just trying to help you out with some social anxieties.
Of course, I use such virtual imaging techniques myself all the time, usually using the internet as a tool to assist. Only its everyone else that has no clothes on. And they're all women.
