DS9 was the most sexually explicit star trek of them all.

Naked != Sexually Explicit

Censors in the 90s were obviously MUCH more concerned about portraying the love between two consenting adults who had been married in a previous life than they were about a sentient puddle of goo that can make himself look like he's dressed.

Hey, I love that they added the effect of his clothes dropping off him the first time he shape-shifts after regaining his shape-shifting abilities.

Hey, he had clothes on for the better part of a year.

Until that day he just left them lying on the Promenade and flew around the station.

Yet they didn't give skintight clothing to the only character who had a good reason to wear it...

Technically all he wears is a comm badge.

I was happier not noticing this.

That's nothing, Porthos is naked the whole time, and sometimes he gets fed cheese while lying naked on Archer's lap. Ugh.

Hmmmm.

Just remember: As a Changeling, Odo has nipples according to the episode "A Simple Investigation" which I rewatched yesterday. You're welcome.
