I am saying more confident nowadays, never really realized it years ago, I was allways the skinny little punk in High School, although I was gettin more pussy than the football guys were (from small town Texas where football is God) I was never really built enough to be anything more than 2nd string and the last one put in when we were really kickin ass, and even though I was more hung than the whole team, they still made me feel inadequate because of my build, I finally realized that it was probably out of jealousy in the showers. But I never really realized it until my 30's when my now ex-wife made me feel confident about my body. I did finally fill out everywhere else and am very confident about my body these days, this came from our naked weekends that we used to have, (Friday night till monday morning no clothes allowed, we lived in the country and would even go down to the fishing hole for a naked picnik, there is nothing like not having to worry about covering what your parents gave ya) anyway I don't worry about being naked in front of my buds these days, we are alot more grown up about this kind of thing than a bunch of teenagers, I guess my whole point with this is you are born naked, you have no choice with what you are born with, but if and when you become comfortable with it no matter what size you are, and small or large it takes time to become comfortable with either, you get ridiculed either way, accept what you have and have fun with it. Like I said I was in my early 30's before I realized that I was not a freak, and I love my body now and am not ashamed of it anymore.

I am just plain "NORMAL"
Not extra self confident or extra self-conscious.

If you are, you better not be going to Finland anytime soon, cos someone is gonna invite you to go into a sauna nude!

Still remember this time very clearly as I once had a Finn as a partner, got invited to her home country and uhh.... they do some weird stuff there!

I would like to show off my penis to the world and have everyone bow to me but I'm not an exhibitionist. Having a bunch of guys in a locker room ogling my penis when I use a urinal always makes me feel awkward and embarrassed (not ashamed). I feel that confidence level, for the most part, is not contingent upon penis size. The only time when my confidence is reliant upon my size is the major ego ride I get while boiling up with anticipation of sex. Everytime I've ever had sex, the girl was always shocked and dripping buckets when I unleashed my monster. That, I must admit, gets to my head a lot.

It wasn't until boot camp that I "exposed" myself to others but not by choice. After my first assignment my room mate really is the one who made me feel confident. He was always nude in the room and encouraged me to do too. "If u got it, show it" he'd say. We dated sisters and thats where I got more self confident. I wasn't very sexually active in high school but once I got started...yee hah! I don't have a problem at nude beaches or resorts, private parties or public dares...of course that will probably change when I get caught!!! :eek:

I'm not shy about being naked normally but I do have to admit that some situations make me embarassed.
The last time was when I had to go to the hospital to have a varicous vein injection, I had to stand in my boxers on a small platform/step thing while the doctor did the ultrasound. I wasn't naked but I'm very visable in underwear and kind of poke out the bottom a bit. I find it embarassing because I know what the nurse is thinking because of the reaction I've got from women before!

Dorset I have the same problem too. The tip is always at the bottom of the boxers, and in danger of poking out if I move the wrong way. Im considering moving to boxer-briefs for that reason. Oddly enough for how big I am soft, I really don't show a bulge unless im wearing running shorts. I wear baggier clothes, and in baggier basketball shorts, you can kind of see it. But I am long, and have lowhangers, they mostly go straight down, instead of arcing out.

for me im real comfortable nude around others but in my area it is very uptight and traditional straight guys dont go nude around eachother so theyre uncomfortable about it...at the doctors i dont really care but they always gotta make a silly comment about the size which i guess is a compliment...it was real nice when i went out to ca and everything was much more relaxed and i was able to chill wit the guys at the spa in the nude

Yes and no...soft i look average and to me look somewhat small to others in the shower, but once the blood flows it gurths up quite nicely and i know i am up there with the thickest of them in the room...

and since i dont really get hard in the showers, i only get that confidence booster when a girl is rubbing me up over the clothes.

Having guys checking out the store, while you're peeing is just plain gross. GROSS! It's like, "Hey! Wanna measure my turds too -- hold on, while I take a quick dump!"

Sick.

If I've been self-conscious nude, its only been because of being fat - never the size of my torpedo - and almost always has been a locker room thing. Doctor's office is so sterile, I've gotten past any unease there,..but only with a male doc. I never take a female physician, and when a female nurse instructs me to strip down to my nature, I respectfully decline and keep my underwear on.

Being big soft has been a good help to become more self conscious about being nude. Anyway it took me some years to realize it. I used to avoy any occasion where my penis could be seen, until last year.

Now i am getting self conscious because of size, but also because i understood that people are not there too look at me, and body is never a shame.

As I've gotten older I've become way less self conscious but i don't think its because of my size. Growing up i was always the really skinny kid. I was self conscious because of my weight / height. Now that I'm in my mid 20ies I've filled out and gotten past. I don't mind being being nude in front of other people at all.

I always thought that i'd be much less shy if i was well hung, but i don't know if that's true or not. But I sure would like to find out. Let's face it, men are judged, by ourselves and others, by the size of the dick. It's not the only measure of a man, but it's certainly an important one.

I have always had a bigger than average dick but I was physically short and skinny as a teenager, so I was shy. I have always been a nudist at heart but did it in private. After puberty and time in the military I gained confidence. Now I don't care who sees me naked, as long as they are not offended.

Now I am an exhibitionist, pretty much the opposite of when I was a teen. I prefer female doctors and will strip naked for them at the drop of a hat. In fact, if anyone asked me to strip I would do so, doctor or not.

I also don't understand shyness in the locker room. I have seen guys at the gym, showering in their swimsuits so that they are not exposed to others. Maybe they are not well endowed, I don't know. I strip naked as soon as I enter the locker room and walk to the showers naked. Some others also do this, including going to the basins and standing there naked while shaving.

Whether or not my penis size affects my behaviour, I don't know. I have seen guys at nudist camps who are fat and have so little to show that their balls are a little bubble in the groin and their penises have retracted into their body fat. They are just as naked as I am, as the most well-hung guy at the camp.

Usually I get weird stares since I'm not very tall, yet have a larger than avg penis. To be honest I'm more self-conscious as a result of peoples reactions to how big I am. My old gym was basically a bathouse (I had no clue, my sister picked it out) and I was getting hit on constantly and alot of them were married. Not the most comfortable situation.

The idea that a man would be uncomfortably self-conscious about being hung is puzzling to me, although I know some do feel this way. I understand, of course, individuals and their circumstances all vary. Personally, ever since I was old enough to realize I was well hung, I instinctively took pride in it. As I matured, I came to fully appreciate all the advantages of sporting a huge schlong, which far out weigh any disadvantages I’ve ever identified. Certainly one advantage is self-confidence. I think for most well hung men, having a big dick just gives us a certain swagger, so to speak. Granted, the size of man’s dick is a superficial concern and perhaps a silly source of confidence, but the plain truth is that, for many of us, it is something that matters more than it probably should.
