I'm sure most men would struggle as to weather they should watch a naked woman or not. LMAO
I can imagine seeing your neighbors wife naked might be a tad weird but Bill has taken it way passed the mark. My bet is she knew all the time what was going on.
Some people have trouble separating nudity from sex. Susan was displaying nudity, but nothing of a sexual nature. However, the narrator seemed to have interpreted it as sexual, and then felt guilty about his sexual feelings.
That way of viewing things interfered with his friendship with the neighbors, and perhaps also his appreciation of what life has to offer.
It is unfortunate that he did not learn something from the experience that would reduce some of his dysfunctional interpretations. Perhaps Susan could have shared with both couples her love of nudity, although she had to contain it to just at home because of a bad experience with someone who interpreted it sexually. That might have caused the narrator to view things at least a little bit differently.
