Nudity. How do you feel about it

[Brutal Peanut]

I was taught to not like my body. It was never good enough,
there was always something I needed to do to be considered, 'beautiful'.

My mother was a very 'back-handed' compliment giver. It was always
really an insult and it was hard to just like myself, and it manifested
into my abusing diet pills and laxatives when I was in High School,
but I got over that and managed to not feel disgusted while looking
in the mirror; it took a few years.

Mens looks in public (clothes on) make me feel extremely uncomfortable.
My husband says, "They are looking at you because they think you are attractive.
It's a good thing." But it doesn't feel like it. When I was thirteen I decided
to wear shorts for the first time because of the summer heat. I was
walking to my friends house when I bunch of construction workers
started cat-calling, whistling, and saying some unpleasant things. Most
women feel empowered by it, but at that age, I felt sick. I felt dirty.
The feelings still crop up when out and about in public.


So personally, no, I am not comfortable when naked, ever.
I'm not even that comfortable wearing short-sleeved shirts, or shorts outside.

Unless it's only around my husband. I trust him not to make fun of me, or
insult me about what I look like whether naked or not.

I am indifferent to other peoples nudity, however.

I don't have any problem with nudity, either of others or myself.

I'm not particularly shy about my body (I don't mind changing/showering around my friends or anything if we're in the gym or something), as I tend to lose fat and build muscle quickly enough when I want to.

im fone as long as someone doesnt makes it awkward

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Nudity is awesome, otherwise porn would be pretty dull. People dry humping isn't anywhere near as fun. Oh, you mean myself. I'm cool with myself.

 

[The Austin]

I'm nude right now.


....... What?

 

[Kevlar Eater]

If others wanna do it, go for it. However, I'm too uncomfortable with my slightly overweight body.

If nudity is in movies or games, I would not care.

 

[crudus]

Public nudity is something that I think is not benficial.

But in a more private setting, nudity is good.

Can you elaborate that view point?

 

[Cupid]

I am very shy, so I'm not a fan. I blush when people say hello, I can't even imagine feeling so comfortable in the raw. I'm blushing just thinking about it. :/

 

[Wintermoot]

I dont like being naked

 

[UnwishedGunz]

i dont really mind, i've grown comfortable with mah body (even though i am a little over weight) i feel no need to be uncomfortable, maybe it would be to other people if for some reason i was naked in front of them, but, i just dont mind it, its no big deal to be naked

As the Subject line states its about nudity but more specifically about you. Im curious as to how most Escapists feel and what they do when inevitably the peel away all those layers and find themselves in thier "birthday suits"?

For me Personally Im some what horrified and by the sight of my self when Im unclothed and I quite hate the way I look in that state and as such when I need to wash up and I do my best to avoid standing infront of a mirror

See here in America that's how they condition you to be ashamed of the human body and consider it to be taboo. This only encourages deprivation of the soul. The entire sex industry is based off those principals to drive their success.

Nudity is an offense, not a harm. It is only injurious to people's sensibilities, not their long-term interests. Therefore it is not harmful.

 

[Wapox]

IDC...
If I gotta to change 'n stuff fine... If I aint gotta, like work and whatnot I most likely won't
If I'm alone it depends on whether I got home or slept last..

So depends on situation..

 

[jamesworkshop]

I enjoy it if I have had a nice but not too much amount to drink, we spend so much time in clothes that it's a strange feeling to notice what my skin is feeling, not really sure how to describe it.

 

[newwiseman]

I'm as white and pale as you can get, but I have good muscle tone. I find the ol' birthday suit very relaxing, clothes are very restrictive.

That said, and as much as I enjoy being nude, I believe there should be a licensing committee for who is allowed to go nude. They should also police thongs at the beach; I'll pay a quarter of every dollar I earn to the gov if it means I never have to see a fat person in a g-string or fat guy in a speedo... scratch that, any guy in a speedo.

 

[theriddlen]

What do i think about nudity?

....


HELL YEAH!

 

[Corjha]

I'm pleased with my naked form. I'm well-toned and tan, and 'sides, it's not the clothes that make the person; it's what's inside that counts. I can appreciate being nude with other people, I feel that it eliminates certain barriers. Some people I know would not agree, because it makes them "feel naked". I can get them to join along if they see how much fun I'm having though.

Thats the thing though...Im not always ashamed of or disgusted by the sight of myself naked I just more often than not dislike my average skinny build and the sight of my male anatomy hanging out

 

[carpathic]

I love nudity. Mine and the nudity of others. I have no issue with being naked. I am not that fab looking, but I run to keep in shape. I just think that being confident carries its own attractiveness. People will notice that rather than a small penis or love handles or saggy boobs or whatever you feel ails you.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Quite awkward if I'm honest. If I see someone I don't know very well naked, I don't know where to look.
I don't like getting dressed in front of others and occasionally become really self concious if I'm naked in front of my boyfriend. It makes me want to cry how bad I look in the nuddy, so I'll be as quick as possible.
