The supermodel told Elle that she was surprised by the response from the public to nudity.
Christensen said: "I have no problems with showing my body. I'm Danish. Everyone's naked on the beaches. We don't really give a s**t.
"I just want the nudity to be in that normal, subtle way because my grandmother is still alive and I want to keep her another 15 years - I don't want her to get a shock!"
She added: "I love breasts. I love the female shape. It's crazy - you can have movie posters with men with machine guns but, oh, God forbid you show the nipples! That never ceases to amaze me.
"It's flabbergasting. I can understand if you have your legs spread and you're pushing yourself into the camera - that's sexually erotic. But the sensual contours in the male or female shape? Come on, guys, relax."
