New relationship - naked worries - help!

I have a new relationship and we've slept together 6 times now and it's been pretty bloody brilliant. We get on well, but it's a very new relationship and thus far when we have had sex I have been very careful that my flaws are not quite as visible. For example, I have worn a lot of clever lingerie, a lot of suspenders and corsets and body stockings and all the fun stuff. I have been completely naked with him but only laying down.

Now we're meeting up and he has dscribed what he wants me to wear and been quite specific and while I find it really sexy I would look absolutely booody awful because of my tummy.

I am not talking Bridget Jones being a size 12 and thinking she's fat, I am talking about have an abolutely disgusting flabby belly!

What should I do? Just wear something else and not mention it?

That's me told! A frigid, old maid, on-the-shelf prude. Smile

'Tiny panties' though 😂
Seriously , I have the same issues about my body post pregnancy and weight gain due to medication. Huge overhang (and the rest).
My exh never wanted sex with me. The next man did but was critical of my body so really damaged my self esteem.
I tried again with somebody else and the sex was great but I was so self conscious and got to the point of really hating myself and my body.
I'm single now and it's nice at the moment not worrying about anybody seeing me naked.

Sorry Sweetsweet :( It can be tough when you feel self critical much less when your partner adds to that.

He's a very lovely man who's very excited his new girlfriend likes to play dress up (he'd never seen stockings in real life before) and it's exciting for both of us - I love it!

Just don't love the sight of me in micro knickers designed for someone with a much better bod!

That said, he said to me last night that he could not stop thinking about my body and how sexy I was, so he must see something diferrrent. His exes, as I said, appear to be tiny, but perhps he is just not that shallow that my proportions are the be all and end all for him
