Times have changed. Please don't try to reproduce that in an upscale hotel in Tokyo. They'll just call security (I've heard the story in first-hand).

Why would they call security for you being naked in your own room?

The story is that a trader working for one of the big foreign banks was staying at one of the top hotels, and would repeatedly call for room service and be stark naked when the (female) staff came in. I might be wrong about them calling security, I think they just told the bank they wouldn't accept reservations for that trader anymore.

Well, you have to admit that story is quite different from Feynman's, and has nothing to do with "the times" changing.

Your explanation below does not support the claim you make here.

Politely disregarding an unintentional exposure is rather different from being perved at repeatedly by a sexual predator.
