Me? :bats eyelids:
Bad? :bats again:
:LOL:
In Europe, I think we have a lot more nudity - it's quite usual for both sexes to be naked together in saunas etc..
Are you comfortable being naked?
On your own?
With a lover?
In the locker room?
With strangers of both sexes?
From what I know and have heard from friends/family who have visited Europe,. yes you are much more open than U.S. folks as far as nudity.
Personally, I like to be nude alone..., but love it a lot more with a lover..., ehhh in the locker room it doesn't do anything for me -- we should all just be changing clothes and getting out of there -- thats the point of the locker room,... with strangers... hmm... probably not so much. I mean, if I'm in some random German town/hotel where it is very normal in the spa to be naked amongst eachother I would probably be ok about it, but around here you can't just prance down the street and not get arrested lol., so I guess it depends on the place... so if a comfortable place (with comfortable people) sure, but anything otherwise no way.
I'm comfortable nude or in underwear. If I have guests I try to remember to put something on.
Same here. I hate looking down and seeing all my imperfections. It's nice to sleep naked when it's hot, or just sort of walk around naked for a few after a nice shower, but I get kind of sheepish being naked in front of someone new. It takes me a while (and a good amount of encouragement) before I can feel sexy naked in front of someone.
Reading through this thread has made me wonder what happened to all the no hang-ups,freedom loving,cool with nudity Woodstock generation in the U.S. Didn't they raise families to have the same relaxed attitudes?From what I know and have heard from friends/family who have visited Europe,. yes you are much more open than U.S. folks as far as nudity.
I am comfortable with all my many imperfections. I walk around the house nude in my yard and back porch {no fence either!},I also am naked when my friends come around or family. The exception being some of the male members. I am a nudist and before that I was a stripper for 15 years, so no problems with being naked. Even though I am much fatter than when I was dancing!
Naked is good for the soul! And my sex life! lol!

I really enjoy being naked! I feel very comfortable with my body but I have tact. I don't have a problem getting undressed if I need too but I don't go looking for excuses to.
In the summer (here in Southern Cali.) friends understand that they have to call before coming over, to give me a chance to get dressed. My signiture look is a bra and short-shorts.:biggrin1:

That would be a tough one, but in the right circumstance I could be.On your own? Yes...but really wasn't until I met my husband.
With a lover? See above.
In the locker room? Sure, but don't really prance around much.
With strangers of both sexes?
Mumzi- Try it and just maybe you'll like it. I see that you are from California, and in the "Golden State" there are a wide variety of naturist places where you and you're husband can dip your toes for the first time. First of all, the term nudist camp evokes a rustic place where people have two missing front incisors, wear ball caps, mullets, and perpetually hold a can of Budweiser while talking ad infinitum about NASCAR, restrictor plate racing and Jimmy-Jimmy Johnson. True there are those nudist gatherings, but so to there are several romantic retreats for couples in the Palm Springs area and up Northern California. Google up AANR for some links, take a deep breath, and go for it one of these weekends.:01:
Reading this makes me feel naive. I know that I have confidence in my self-image but I am very insecure about what I look like to others. Looking back on that statement alone makes me realize that I must not be as comfortable with myself as I say (seeing that I'm only projecting my own self-image). I find myself telling people that I'm a free spirit and will speak my mind but then I think about how much time I waste with what I excuse as "tact". Tact is commonly how I will justify not saying what I mean or wearing more than I'd like. I admire your ability to cast off those shackles. I always thought that I would lose respect from people if I don't keep myself in check, but then the part of myself that I hide asks; "Why do you seek their respect?" She says, "You will gain the respect you truly deserve, from those that truly mean it, once you have left your false pretense behind."
