with my ex, it took me about a month to be really comfortable.
These days, I'm a lot more confident about my own body (even though it hasn't changed much).
I have body issues too but for some reason I've never had them with a partner, and especially not with FH. Maybe it comes from my mum, who when explaining why it was ok to not shave your legs obsessively said "if someone gets that close to you to notice, they're probably not going to care" - which I've always found to be true! I think I get more self conscious around other girls than I ever did with boys, who just love boobies and don't care what you look like as long as you are naked :)
I never had that with him. I agree with mountain.bride. I usually have that issue when I'm around girls
I'm lucky to have a good body/figure, which my SO loves. (30D bra size. Oh yeah.) Being naked isn't a problem and I felt pretty comfortable from the start with him. He's always complimented me on it. Buuuuut...I'm very unphotogenic, and every time I see a new picture of myself, I'm mortified and want to crawl under a rock for a few days. Lame. :(
I would rather walk around naked, just so I look better in photos! LOL.
I'm not sure how long it took - even now, on some days, I just want to cover up. FI is wonderful and is constantly telling me how beautiful he thinks I am. Maybe it comes from the comfortable nature of our relationship, but with him, I really get to step outside of my hang-ups.
I still have my "low self-esteem/image" days...but over all, I think I'm very comfortable with myself. Working out regularly helps me mentally, I've noticed. I'm just a lot happier and more comfortable being naked (or even fully clothed!) when I work out consistently, rather than just sporadically. As far as how long it took in this relationship...maybe 6 months to TRULY let loose (aka, walk naturallly without thinking about sucking in my gut) :)
I was just really conforable with my fi we waiting a long time about a year anyway.
I agree with Mountain.bride. I've only had it around other women. During college, I was a little more shy, but around 26, it was no big deal. I'm plus size and most people would think I'd run, but I don't. I even like sex during the middle of the day.LOL
Back in the day - I was skinny and very open physically and sexually...but having kids changes everything! I still have the baby weight (my son is 3!) and am now more self-concious than ever. I just dim the lights a bit more than I use to! =) Being around other women doesn't bother me much. I only really care what my man thinks!
It took living together for me. This might be TMI but... in high school, we sneaked around in order to have sex, usually when his parents weren't home or when we were house sitting for FSIL & FBIL, so there was always that fear of being caught, and it not be okay. Now that it is our room, I feel more comfortable.
I still have my days where I really wish I hadn't had that beer or slice of pizza or whatever.
Like Samantha from Sex and the City, I have a delusionally high self esteem. hehe Although I'm FAR from perfect I've always been comfortable with being naked infront of people. This probably stems from being a dancer and in theatre and having to change backstage in front of people all the time. Also when I was younger my Mom really encouraged me to be confortable with my body. When the other girls wore t-shirts over their bathingsuits, my Mom never let me do that and told me to be proud of my body.
So basically, I never had an "adjustment" period to get comfortable being naked in front of people.
It took a little while, but once I got over it once, I was over it for good. I can't remember the last time it bugged me to be nakies around him. LOL.
I didn't have any problems stripping down in front of my man. haha. I'm not perfect by any means at all, but I've always been comfortable with my body so if I need to change and someone is around then they're going to be watching me change.
I was always pretty conservative and no one saw me fully naked until after college. The first guy who saw me was a total @$$, but luckily that relationship at least did make me really comfortable in the buff...since I had known my DH for mos. before being naked with him, I don't really remember being worried about it
I think I'm actually way more nervous being in a swimsuit in public than I am naked in front of men I'm dating. I mean, I have cellulite, stretchmarks and not super perky boobs (most aren't if they are natural DDs), but I just don't care...bc he wouldn't date me if he wasn't attracted to me.
oh man.. this is tough. i actually haven't been with my fiance yet, since we're waiting. i am SO nervous. i know he loves me the way i am, but i seriously don't want to be naked in front of him. maybe in the dark while i'm lying down.. ha. i want to be with him, of course. i just wish i could be clothed while it was happening.
The only person ive veen comfy with is my SO. I love my body so much more now that I am a bit older and can appreciate myself for not just my body, but everything about me and my SO is amazing and so encouraging. He doesn't care because he wouldn't want someone to judge him on his body either. Altho I think he is so sexy lol :)
I had this one man tell me years ago.....if your thinking about YOU when we are in bed....I'm not doing my job! HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM makes sense! So now I think about how to do MY job! And my fear of being naked is gone! Then I'm feeling sexy!
@Meowkers, that is so awesome and refreshing to hear, good for you!!!
Im pretty comfortable naked around Teddy...but when he starts whistling and going "ooooooo" in a sexy way I get kind of embarrassed! but for the most part im pretty ok with it :)
I've always been comfortable naked around my FI. He makes comment regularly about liking it when I have no clothes on (LOL!), so I guess that makes it a little easier to feel comfortable
I've never had problems being naked around my FI, he's always made me feel beautiful and constantly is talking about my body and my different features in a positive way. Being with him has actually raised my self-esteem because if I'm having a "fat day" my FI can almost always bring me out of it and make me see myself as beautiful. Plus, I know that he won't judge my body because he's not totally comfortable with his body. During high school, a few months before I met him, my FI stopped eating properly and would eat very very small meals. He ended up losing 40 pounds in a month and kept it off. Because of his rapid weight loss he has some areas with extra skin (apparently, I don't notice it at all, even when he tries to point it out). I know that he wouldn't judge me because, as Chipmunk said, it's not like he would want someone to judge him ( :

Random post i know, but i have always had a few body issues, most girls do i guess.
How long did it take you if ever, to feel that comfy with your partner that you felt comfortable to "nude" up without being embarassed?
I am pretty good with it now, but still have the lights off on a bad night lol
Just curious as to how other girls feel about this?
