Do you feel comfortable naked?

[SunshineOverStress]

Random question!
I’ve never felt comfortable naked, and currently trying to lose weight so that i can finally be happy and comfortable with my body! I’m not massive, currently 10 st 5 at 5 ft 7 and a size 10, but my belly has like a line sort of thing under it? And the skin almost looks a bit loose even though I’m only 29 and no kids!

Just wondered if others feel similar or just think sod it anyway?

@lemoncrisp

Yes I am ok about seeing myself naked even though I am only 5ft 3in and weigh 11 stone 11. Its the heaviest i have ever been and I am aiming to lose a stone. I always think I look better naked but maybe i just have crappy dress sense.🤔

That's what I was going to say - look better naked but I am a shit dresser (and not interested in fashion at all)

Yes, I'm a 22 and 5ft 8 but never been self conscious about nudity. If in a sauna or changing room I know nobody is paying too much attention and with a lover if I'm naked with them I figure they're happy to be there by dint of the situation.

Well I do, I'm 60, 5 foot 4 and 13st and not a pretty sight but I've been a naturist since I was in my 20's and going to the clubs for a swim and sunbathe has shown me there is nothing to be ashamed of with regards to your body and ageing. There is always someone fatter and wrinklier and in the end you just do not notice what other people look like, all you do is have fun.
Everyone should go, they would stop getting so hung up on their tiny imperfections.

Apart from being cold I don’t mind being naked.

I’m mid 40’s, 5’ 6” and weigh 72 kgs. My clothes are mostly size 12.

I’ve had 2 ds’s. They both happily wander into the bathroom if I’m in the bath or shower for a chat! If I’m away for the weekend with female friends I’m not someone to hide under a towel constantly after showering. I won’t parade around naked but neither will I make putting my bra on more awkward than usual!!

I am very confident naked. Always have been and it’s nothing to do with having a great body - I don’t. I’m a size 16-18 and have uneven boobs and a big c section jelly belly but I really don’t care and I love my body, it’s the only one I’ll get and I think if someone is sexually interested enough to get to that stage with me then surely a few wobbles won’t put them off and it does well fuck them...!

Yes. Sometimes I joke (only to myself obviously!) that I look better naked than in clothes!

I am 65kg and 170cm but I have a very athletic figure due to the sports I do. So my body fat percentage is low but I have strong arms, shoulders, thighs, defined abs etc. In a strappy or halter neck too I think I look a bit ... masculine? 😳 I can’t think of a better word. Maybe those styles just don’t suit me. And I guess in jeans and trousers you don’t really see the definition in my thighs or bum. Is it chub is it not? I don’t care. I love my body and what it can do.

No, hate being naked. I never look at myself in a mirror naked if I can help it.

I also feel uncomfortable in a bikini/swimsuit. I'm slim but flabby and have cellulite and just feel disappointed in how I look.

I don't just other people's bodies harshly on the beach though. I generally think everyone else looks good and I'm a bit gross.

Yes, I like being naked. I dare say most people would think there were all sorts of things wrong with my body, but somehow, the less I wear, the less I care what anybody thinks. I'm much more self-conscious about being fully dressed in an outfit that doesn't feel quite right.

I am from Northern Europe, and it makes me sad how uncomfortable so many women can feel about their bodies

Seeing people naked, normal people, in a non sexualised setting, is liberating. If you did not grow up with that, all you have to compare yourself with is models, actresses and influencers... hardly representative

We need more nudist beaches here (and hot weather)

I am happy to be naked as long as I am not cold

"I am from Northern Europe, and it makes me sad how uncomfortable so many women can feel about their bodies"

Why? What has it got to do with you?

Jesus that’s rude. I’m from the U.K. and I’m sad by how uncomfortable many women are with their bodies.

Why is it rude to ask why she's sad when it doesn't affect her at all. And I consider the UK to be in northern Europe as well.

@ThenCatoJumpedOut yes I totally agree with this

No!

@Onedropbeat and @ThenCatoJumpedOut - there are few things better than a naked swim and drying off feeling the sun on your body without a care in the world.

But right now, I’d put up with a naked swim in a pool.

I do. Not because I'm gorgeous. I'm currently about 11.5 stone and I'm only 5ft 4. I've had 3 dcs by c- section and up until a year ago i was usually around 10 stone, so big changes for my body. I do want to lose weight, and i will, but no i think I'm great clothed and naked regardless of my weight and huge stomach!

@Gwenhwyfar I just feel sad about women feeling negative about their own bodies

Feeling something for someone even if it has nothing to do with you is called empathy I think?

I don’t think it’s a negative thing?

When my friends beat themselves up over their perceived flaws I think it’s sad/a shame

It's negative because it's very patronising. If someone doesn't like being naked it doesn't mean they're incredibly unhappy, it just means they like wearing clothes. They're not doing anybody any harm, including themselves!
Find something real to feel sad about.

I shall feel sad about your comment instead then

With your permission of course

I am in front of DH and DC but wouldn't parade on a nudist beach. I am short and not toned and my boobs now look like deflated balloons but I birthed two kids and am 20 years older than when we met. I could excercise and get toned and look better. But it is just not a hang up I have. Have others. My body isn't one of them.

Post meno here.
54
5ft 3 Fighting weight 8/10 currently 9st due to lockdown over eating but I will fix that come spring.
Generally happy naked
Sticky out tummy
Bit of bum wobble
But tiny waist even after meno and children .
Good shapely legs
Of course no one sees me naked but husband of 33 years or occasionally the kids .
When you get to this age after health scares and losing friends to cancer you are just happy to have a body that works.
I am also glad I wasn't young in the selfie / Instagram era- so unrealistic and damaging for you people.
Top tips - body moisturiser and fake tan take a good half stone off.

I feel very 'untucked' in, when naked. Just wobbly
