When and why did humans start covering their genitals?

by LilG55

Not the most usual history question, and maybe it’s more a shower thought, but I’m trying my luck here... Nowadays we cover our genitals mostly because we are embarrased to show them and other would find it gross. However i guess it hasn’t always been like that. I’d expect it originally was for protective reasons. How far back is there evidence for humans covering their genitals and when/why did it become culturally expected?

This is a question that predates what this subreddit generally covers, so while there is overlap of experts, I'd suggest you crosspost to /r/AskAnthropology as this is more in their wheelhouse.
