One of the beta readers that agreed to read a very early draft of the first novel of my trilogy requested exactly that.
He was in his 60s. He had an adult daughter nearly my own age at the time that had children of her own. He called the naked body description “an inevitability in the genre.” He left a punitive middling review, unasked for (I didn’t ask him to review the final work), probably because I stood firm and didn’t describe a malnourished teenage refugee girl’s naked body.
