Sorry if I stirred the pot. :o
No, I am not saying being comfortable with nudity is at all inappropriate but I was saying that it not uncommon to be uncomfortable being nude with strangers. And being forced to so something one is uncomfortable with is inappropriate.

no judgement meant. truly. and I did question my own words when writing them b/c I realized they could have been taken the wrong way. but I couldn't in a short time frame find more "appropriate ones." :D

GOTCHA. :) That makes sense to me and I agree totally.

Sorry for misunderstanding/misinterpreting. :)

Good lord, you are NOT a prude - he's a sick individual who has control issues - one jerk usually attracts others, meaning his friends are just as slimy.

There's a difference between healthy sexuality and harmful - and he's deffinately on the harmful side.

I'm happy that you have gotten rid of him, if no - RUN!

What a putz.

actually in my post I was assuming that she didn't think they were appropriate for her. No judgement here.

Just because you are not comfortable in those situations and don't put yourself out there like that, that does not mean you are a prude. Different people have different levels of sexuality that they are comfortable with. Please don't take this the wrong way, as it is not a bad thing, but you have not had many partners, 4 @ age 34. You obviously have huge respect for yourself and need more then just a "connection" to jump into bed with someone. If those people are comfortable with things like that, more power too them. They should not make you feel uncomfortable for being at a different sexuality level, just as you should accept whatever level they are at.
