Worried about naked body

[fordfocused]

I came out of a long term relationship last year and have been single since then. I have recently met a man through work who I am very attracted to and him to me. We see each other occasionally at work and now message each other daily.

There is a huge sexual chemistry between us and we both want to take things to the next level. However I am very concerned about him seeing my naked body. At work I am very well presented, good bra and clothes to flatter my hourglass figure. However the reality is that I have saggy boobs and I have a load of stretch marks and loose skin on my tummy. I think he is going to be disappointed when he actually sees me naked.

Does anyone know of any good lingerie that will help me cover up a bit? Or any other tips?

OP you could be me, I know the feeling and a horrible one it is. I just think you've got to own it and be who you are and if he's a keeper, he won't care about that. However I do understand that self-esteem runs deeper than that; I mean, I am literally considering surgery. But he obviously likes you so don't let him get away due to body hang ups

I am in a similar position....a number of sections, breastfed and then over four stone weight loss! In clothes I mainly look fairly good but undressed I can’t stand the sight of myself.
I am getting surgery. For myself. My dh doesn’t seem to be in the least bit bothered though and acts like I’m a total goddess.

I can sympathise. I wouldn't tell him about specific insecurities, it may make you feel more awkward! You could say you're a bit nervous but he will probably expect that anyway, it's not like you sleep with a new person every week!

I'm single but when I first sleep with a man I was dating post kids, I was as nervous as you. I felt sick! But he was lovely and low lighting, trying to feel confident and a g&t helped me relax and enjoy it! He was also happy, didn't bat an eyelid over stretch marks, droopy boobs and bumpy belly.

Remember men have to worry about erections, giving orgasms and their own bodies too.
