So Im new here, and while Im not hung like a horse or anything, I am here for a reason. I'm a pretty average guy in all aspects, 6'2", 210, 6.5" etc. Although I do happen to be quite intelligent with an IQ in the 98th percentile (hey, we all get to be vain about something, lol).
The reason I am here is that I have a horrible fear of nudity. The fear is totally irrational seeing that I wasn't raised that way. My father was a Marine and to him modesty was a silly notion. He taught me and my younger brother to never to ashamed of ones body because in the long run no one really cares. However, somewhere around the age of 13-14 I got VERY introverted and shy with puberty and my dad respected that. But, I never came out of it. My brother, on the other hand, wouldn't know what modesty was if Einstein sat down and tried to explain it. After a shower the towel for him is like the Holy Grail in the Indiana Jones, everything will crumble if it passes beyond the door to the bathroom, lol. Given my fear, he thinks Ive got a small dick, and teases accordingly, but its never really caused a problem between us. I brush it off. Not to mention because my bro thinks that, it has crossed my mind that maybe my dad does to, but knowing my dad he is just annoyed when he has to wait for me to get dressed before I let him in hte bathroom or my bedroom.
I guess because Im so modest I sometimes feel like Im the odd man out around here. I sought out the help of some friends, but they all were really uncomfortable talking about the subject, OR they shot me that whole "your all guys, get over it" response. I realize that its not a big deal, that is why its called an irrational fear, lol.
I just need advice on how to get over this. Hell, maybe even a gameplan since Im borderline OCD when it comes to planning things out logically. Thanks a bunch.
