Because a sexual relationship requires 2 people to touch, so it is a relatable setup.

yeah but like, you don't need to specify that one individual is naked. If that's a required factoid of the statement, the engineer, mathematician, and physicist should also be naked. But there's no mention of that.

Now i don't have much experience in relationships, particularly inter personal ones, but to my knowledge, you are generally clothed most of the time.

You are overthinking it. This is just a premise to setup the joke that an engineer deals with approximation while the other two give up because they'll never reach 0.

It could be a bowl of ice cream for all that matters, but people like corny jokes, so that's it.

no i understood that part. Unless the naked woman has something to do with that part of the joke itself, then i don't know why it's mentioned.
