Being naked in front of DP/DH

He wiped my bum when I was giving birth to ds. Compared to that, my body is amazing.
I have no qualms being naked in front of anyone, really. Should the need arise.

I've never been comfortable walking around naked when I'm in the house BY MYSELF!

I'm really envious of all of you who are so at ease in your bodies. I know on a logical level that my body is fine. I'm slim and healthy. But I feel so ashamed of my body. It's got worse as I've got older. I hate being undressed around DP. I know it's not healthy but I don't know how to change it.

Sorry, he called you fat whilst pregnant with his child??

Some of these replies are so sad. Everyone should do what their comfortable with, but if you honestly think your partner would dump you if they saw you had (shock horror) a fat belly or whatever, then they're not much of a partner.

Also I'm sorry to tell you that if you've ever had sex- whether its in low light or with a t-shirt on or whatever the poster who hides her tummy from her husband has done for the past almost 40 years- then your partner already knows what you look like naked.

I'm with you @eqpi4t2hbsnktd , four kids here including two caesarians. About 2 stone more than I should be, but appreciative of my healthy body (working in a hospice may influence that feeling too!). DH is the lucky bugger who sees me naked every day! I wish every woman could think the way you do.

Ooh he's a snakey one! Twisting logic to suit his agenda with the 'you were sensitive already' comment. Like he doesn't know he could make that better or worse. Not sure what his game is other than trying to keep the power balance in his favour, but i don't care for it much. This isn't about how being naked makes you feel, its about how he makes you feel.

I don't have any problems with being seen naked, although not in front of my dcs, so I don't get much opportunity to be naked at home these days. And definitely too cold not to be in several fleece layers these days.

I think this varies in personality and how comfortable you are in your own body and with that person. I’m in a new ish relationship and comfortable because he is and does walk around naked. So I do the same. Previously I was more cautious.

We absolutely walk around naked in front of each other. I never considered that people didn't tbh.

So it is just him you are uncomfortable with it - the fact you are I think is because of him not you

I have no issues being naked in front of DH. I mean, this is the same man who cleaned my weeping episiotomy wounds and wiped my backside when I was post-partum. I have zero shame and I'm proud of my body. I've always been like that though. My body isn't something to be embarrassed about, even with its flaws and functions!

Only man to ever say a bad word about my body was some moron who made a clever comment about my teenage stretchmarks. His loss, I kicked him out and got with my best (female, and very complimentary!) friend instead. 🤣

I walk around naked all the time and cannot think of the last time I had a bath without someone wanting to tell me something.
My body is amazing. I am nearly 50, had two kids, got one inverted nipple (so I look like I'm winking), stretch marks, those weird bumps on the tops of my arms, hairy legs but hardly any pubes, my arse wobbles and my tits look like used tea bags.
My body is amazing. It gets me here everyday. Be proud.

I wouldn’t walk around naked (do you mean like go in the kitchen, put the kettle on type thing etc?) I wouldn't even do that living on my own, I'm just not comfortable with that sort of thing, naturism etc not my bag. I didn't have an issue with it in the bedroom but no one is going to be seeing me in the nuddy anymore, those days have thankfully gone.

I’m very comfortable in my own skin and generally walk about naked while getting ready etc. I’d probably be naked in the house most of the time if I didn’t have neighbours, lol. I’m not big now, but have been bigger and was comfortable then too. If my partner didn’t like it, that’s his problem (he loves it). My partner is less keen on being naked as he feels he is too heavy right now. He is bigger than he should be for his health but it doesn’t bother me from a visual point of view and I wouldn’t dream of saying anything.

Well I don’t generally walk around naked because it’s too bloody cold in the house. I’m grabbing clothes not to preserve my modesty but to keep warm.
On the odd day we have a heatwave I’m happy to be naked; although DH would probably think whatever I was wearing needs ironing 😂

I don't generally walk around naked even if I am in the house myself! Probably just habit and comfort (warmth) more than anything else. If we had just DTD and I was going for a pee in the ensuite I'd go naked for example, but not really any other time.

I put on a towelling dressing gown when I come out the shower to keep warm/dry off totally and would get dressed in front of him i.e. open dressing gown and put on knickers/trousers, then take it off to put on bra/top, but I wouldn't walk about naked. I am mid 50s and huge!

Yes I agree. For me the not wanting to be naked is about me and not DH. I also never display any bits when changing at the swimming pool or if I'm sharing a room with a friend or even sister. I just don't like my body and can't bear anyone to look at it. If we are intimate the lights are usually low but that's different anyhow. You could be someone with no inhibitions during sex and still hate walking around naked. They are not the same thing.

I think it's probably not uncommon to feel uncomfortable with it, but also I think it's pretty tragic that as a whole we're so uncomfortable with our own bodies.

I wander round naked quite a lot, it's convenient. Although less at this time of year when it's colder.

Brought up being comfortable naked around DM (and DF up to a certain age) & absolutely happy doing the same with DH. I was self conscious about my cellulite & he said he loves it because it’s a part of me ❤️

Its not pitch black, but I’d rather a low level lamplight. I will usually leave my knickers on, get into bed and they come off when I’m ready. Afterwards I’ll ask him to grab my towel or wait until he’s in the bathroom to get up. If i get up first I’d sit on the side of the bed and put pants and t shirt on, not stride across the room butt naked. I’m not like “close your eyes I’m getting up!” I just try and be a bit modest.

I've been like that my whole marriage- I'm late 60s now - which is why my husband thinks I have a great body and legs. 😆. I think a bit of mystery works too, and I don't want to flaunt my wobbly bits thanks very much

You do you and don't be bullied into doing anything which makes you feel uncomfortable/ by anyone, including on this forum. I bet there are loads who are like you.

I can see how he would come to the conclusion that you’re sensitive about your weight - I think a lot of men just think ‘weight’ and ‘body shape’ are the same thing. Of course they really aren’t! But if you really don’t like him to see your body in certain ways, to the point where you avoid certain positions etc for that reason, I can see why he’s drawn that conclusion.

I know we all have our insecurities about different things, and that it’s difficult to overcome them sometimes - but it’s obvious to me that your DP clearly massively fancies you! He is absolutely not going to have a single negative thought about your body when you’re on top of him, or on his face, or any of that, because he would too busy having the time of his life. But I completely understand that those sorts of worries about appearance etc aren’t easy to just dismiss - I have plenty of insecurities myself. Mine just aren’t related to nakedness.

I don't 'walk round naked' on purpose for prolonged periods even when I'm on my own, but have always been happy to be seen naked by partners as and when it occurs.

Yeah if my Dh called me fat he wouldn’t be seeing me naked either. It would make me feel very self conscious and I am actually fat. But because he never has said anything to me I am 100% comfortable being naked around him
