(under the subject line "All right, which is it?")

I translate this as

     The body is just a container.
     The body is just clothing.
     The body is just skin.

OR

     The body wants a container.
     The body wants clothing.
     The body wants skin.

All right, Michael, which is it?  (I suppose the first
translation is what you meant, and the question is an important
philosophical one.)
