Well my Husband is going to see me naked because that is my Husband and after being married and dedicating getting married starting our journey together well nothing will matter. But most people are more embarrassed of getting undressed in front of their Husband but take it this way after they've been to theirself so much in their child. But just be really sure and just don't be afraid

My advice? Don't fry bacon.

This thread made me laugh, because I was like this even before I had weight problems. Now, I am .... ahem .. *bigger* ... anyhow, one longtime boyfriend started laughing at me once when I used the sheets to cover myself up and said
"It isn't like I don't know what you look like, or that I don't know you have a weight issue". Then he told me he wouldn't be with me if he wasn't attracted to me. He just told me he wanted me to be healthy, but however I went about that was fine.

I have to tell you guys ... I felt more attractive at this weight (280) from then on because of his encouragement than I felt when I was 120lbs.

It is amazing what caring about someone can do for them

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. my husband thinks i am sexy even though i am way overweight. i have been with him too long to care and walk all over the house naked. although with past boyfriends i never would.

Hope you girls don't mind me jumping in?

I can understand this a little bit - while I have no problem walking around naked in the house, I don't feel very good about my body in an intimate, or sexual way. I don't think it's strange, per se, that a woman hasn't let her husband ever see her naked really, and I'm not so sure it has to do with self-esteem, it could be several other issues.

I have to agree with the others though, that said, being naked in front of your partner "should" be a normal thing. He loves you for a reason and he probably thinks you are the most gorgeous thing on the planet (I know my DP thinks this of me!), no matter WHAT you feel about yourself. Getting over this feeling about ourselves is hard though and it could be that counseling or reading a self-help book even could help.

I've always wondered about this...I don't have an issue with it for myself - I've always walked around in front of my ex's - and of the few boyfriends I've had - I've dated various body types of boyfriends. ie, my ex had an absolutely perfect amazing 6 pack body (no joke, it was gorgeous!) - and yet i had NO issues walking around in front of him with no clothes.


My current boyfriend - is definitely far from perfect - he has the beer belly (which i absolutely adore! lol...) and he even has scars on his back from childhood scoliosis - as well as some other bodily physical issues (mainly on his back) from the surgeries he endured due to the scoliosis...and he walks around naked in front of me allll the time. No problems. And, being that I've always suffered from bouts of low self-esteem during my life - I will admit, I always wonder to myself - even though as I said, I love him - every single jiggle of him...yet I do wonder how he can feel so comfortable like that. Again, not that I'm complaining, I just wonder.

Then again, on the other hand - when it comes to walking around naked...this is also another reason i'm looking forward to moving out of my current apartment (live with a roommate) - because I honestly just love BEING naked...this may be TMI - but i sleep that way and when I wake up in the middle of the night - I HATE having to scramble for my robe - cuz I'd rather just walk out of my room and into the kitchen without having to worry (and it's nice, in the mornings - my roommate leaves before me - so I don't have to worry...lol).

But honestly - it's the body God gave me - no it's not where I want it to be - but I flaunt it to the man who loves me! I figure - honestly, if he's going to love me - he's going to love all of me - even my naked jiggling parts. haha.

I think men are just more comfortable in general with their bodies, naked. At least they don't seem to have the issues that we women have and women also seem to be more accepting of our men in their birthday suit.

Which leads me to believe that this is an issue for the individual and is not only about self-confidence or self-esteem. Girls are also taught differently about our bodies than men are. There is more pressure on girls/women than on boys. There are so many factors that can be involved with having an issue like this!

very funny! how men and women take showers

Oh my....that made my day lol. It's totally true!

I wanted to pop in and say a few things.

SO has seen me nude during sex, but just seeing me nude as walking around the house. That is a no. I don't mind walking around in just my undies and sometimes bra. But never totally nude.

SO is very shy about her body. But that's okay. I love to sleep naked. (Someone else had mentioned the skin to skin contact! I LOVE IT!! It doens't have to be sexual. )SO normally sleeps in boxers.

Hah. i'm EXACTLY the same as that.

I love to be naked. and i don't mind being that way in front of my boyfriend at all. .

I used to be very very self conscious though when i was at school. I'd always have to change in the toilets, same at friends houses, and I would hate going swimming... i would wear long shorts and a t-shirt...whereas now i'll bound about in a bikini even though i'm fatter.


I think that if you're married you should feel able to be naked with that person and have them look at you....as people have said..clothing can only hide so much anyway...!

When I was thinner (170 or so), I wouldn't even get intimate w/ a boyfriend or whatever. Fast forward years later, and I almost live naked. lol I like to sleep naked and I usually wear skippy clothes in the house (noodle strap shirts, short shorts, small nightgowns). It doesn't mean I'm happy about my body. I'm just comfortable naked.

And I thought I was alone in this.....I have been married 10yrs and I have never let my husband see me naked. I to am a shut the door lights off person. But even at 125 lbs I was the same way. Maybe when I loose the weight this time I may shock him and prance around naked lol . After 10 yrs he may need CPR.....lol

I am glad I am not the only one who has this problem. I cannot let my boyfriend see me naked. Even if I am in the bath/shower or getting changed in the bedroom, I ALWAYS have the door shut. We have been together for nearly 7 years and I have never been able to go naked. I would love to be that confident that I could just get into bed naked with him, but I cant. I know it really gets to him and we have had many an argument over this as he feels there is no true passion when we are intimate as I am mostly covered up but I cannot break this. Maybe when I am at my target weight I will feel more confident and able to go naked, until then I am trapped with this way of thinking.
