Naked? or Clothes on?

United States
February 9, 2009 8:09am CST
I know this is a touchy topic, but since when did that stop me? OK, that would be NEVER! This sounds too weird, so try not to laugh at me or frown up. I was just sitting here thinking about what my body look like with no clothes on, and I have to be honest here, it definitely isn't the greatest sight. I'm fully aware that this isn't the most positive thing to say about myself but I truly suck being "naked" but I can be a real eye opener, with the right clothes on of course. Better with clothes, that way I don't have to scare anyone with my hips and thighs, and I'm not gonna name the other bad parts coz this isn't an X-rated movie. Of course being naked is 100% natural, and if I'm remembering right, I think everyone was born naked right? So what is there to be embarrassed about? Maybe I should ask myself that question huh? Being naked isn't so bad as long as there's no one around to see it, and if someone's around, like a spouse or partner, the lights can always go off. Hey I'm not against the darkness. Hey it's not just me here, I've heard and read from everywhere that many people feel the same way, I didn't realize that until now. It must be normal or something. I'm sure all of this will change one day once I meet Mr. Right, who will make me feel sexy even though I'm NOT! I can talk about this here coz I'm sitting here hiding behind the computer screen, so NO ONE can see anything. Thank GOODNESS 4 that! I would be in trouble if they could. What about you? Naked? or Clothes on? If it's NOT too touchy 4 u. Sorry I just had to laugh at myself. What a sick sight!

Hey miracle! You silly woman you! I prefer to keep my clothes on too and the lights off! I think my boyfriend prefers it that way too! lol Come to think about it he does prefer the lights off! Should I be offended? Well, who cares, I don't! I don't know too many people, at least at my age who are in love with their body! In fact, I don't know too many people of any age (except maybe those very young hot ones) that are! So you are not alone by no means! And if you meet the right person it won't make any difference so don't stress yourself! Most people look better with clothes on! I can't wait to see the answers on this discussion!

As I've admitted before, I stalk myLot naked ALL the time. Must be honest & say it's NOT a beautiful sight!!! But then NOBODY is looking!!! That's my test to see if my man really loves me...I don't have to turn the lights off to be naked!!! When they truly love us, they love the lumps, the bumps, the flab, & EVERYTHING else about us!!! When I feel sexy, I AM sexy!!! I also have NO full length mirrors around my house, so I don't have to critique myself!!! As a matter of fact, the ONLY mirror in my house is over the bathroom sink & I can only see from the neck up!!!!

Lady Marissa has said it all, really. From a man's point of view, whatever turns us on, turns us on. (The same goes for anyone, really). If you love someone (or fancy them only), then nothing is going to stop you!

Thank you for confirming my thoughts!!! I worked with a man who was married to a woman that weighed 350 pounds. He was fooling around on her.....with a woman who weighed over 500 pounds because the wife refused to gain weight. He used to beg me to gain weight so we could date. I weighed 125 pounds & he thought I was Anorexic.

Even when I was the proper weight, I didn't like to look at my naked body, it was just too ugly. Now it's even worse, old and saggy and overweight. The only mirrors in my house is the one over the bathroom sink and a full length one in the basement and that's the way it will stay!

Hey, kiddo! Sorry I've been away from the computer all weekend. My son was here and we got pretty busy. I probably won't be around much this week either because of gathering up medical records and stuff to take with me to my disability hearing this Friday. But, I'll poke my head in while I can. At my age, I avoid full-length mirrors at all costs if I'm naked! LOL My husband says he loves my body but, well, you know men... they always have an ulterior motive. LOL I guess I'm not too bad for a gal pushing 60 (only 3 years, 2 months to go... shudder!!!!) but I still don't like it. Getting old sucks! Aren't clothes wonderful? They hide such a multitude of sins!

Haaaa! "multitude of sins" are the perfect words to describe it! I can't hang with full-length mirrors either. I might break it.

So give yourself some time, didn't you just have a kid? Just wait until you have abut 40 more years on you, then you can really laugh. I look in the mirror each morning and I don't look to bad but then I turn sideways and hurry and reach for the baggy cloths, the only thing that keeps me from just going right back to bed.

I wear loose clothes all the time, like stretch pants, jogging pants and long shirts.

well, being naked feels good but hey...i don't want to blind anyone while doing it..lol i like putting clothes on although during hot nights i wish i could sleep naked but my kids still sneak into my bed at night sometimes so thats out of the question. i really don't like the look of my body naked, i try to avoid looking sometimes. i used to look a lot when i had a semi-full body mirror. now i just have one in my bathroom medicine cabinet so i don't see much of my naked body when i take a show...maybe i should though, if i see it, i'll get disgusted and motivate myself to lose some weight...haha worth a try!

I prefer clothes on; my body is not such a great sight; the chest and upper back. Scars from teenage acne; someone tell me-do they go away themselves or I have to buy some over-priced cosmetic?

I'm not 100% comfortable with being naked. I've been a little self concious all my life. I'm alright with being naked when I'm in a place where I feel secure or around trustable people. But I would never go parading around in front of a bunch of people my nakednessfor any reason. xD

Don't feel bad. I am still carrying around m 5lbs of baby stomach. I hide them undeneath clothes that are loose, but still sexy. When I wear dark colors or just black itself, I look very smaller. My man loves the way that I look, he thinks that it is sexy. But not to me. He likes the fact that I have some skin on my bones. I constantly call myself fat, but he says that I am not. The truth is I am not fat. I am skinny mixed with being a medium size. When if I tell you my weight, you will never think that I am as a big as what you see. I don't look my weight at all. Although, I am overweight for my height. With that said, I hate my body too. I would crave for a flat and sexy stomach. I want my abs to be so flat that you could not tell that I had a baby. I want to lose 40lbs. Trust me you are not the only one.. But believe me you are beautiful and sexy no matter how you look. Just remember what one man may turn away, another one will come running to it.

Well I agree with what you said about being naked as long as someone don't gets offended when they see you naked. Honestly I am a little conscious ab out getting naked with other people around especially during PE classes when you have to change clothes in front of everyone. However I love wearing clothes too since I am not that sexy I think clothes could highlight my better parts.

I can say that I am a bit disappointed with the way my body looks now that I have given birth to 6 kids especially when I look into the mirror without my clothes on. It's like feeling so ugly every time I try to put on my old clothes. My waist line used to measure 24" some decade ago but now I am actually size 28-29" with bonus of over size inner thighs. Yuck! That's actually how I see myself when I am naked. But in fairness, I still have some curves. My hubby always tease me with my weight now. I am just 5'2" and 118 lbs at that. I hope that I can still shed these unwanted and uninvited fats.

To be naked sometimes is great. Well, of course you should be sure no one is watching or peeping on you somewhere.... I live alone and independent. There are times that after taking a bath, I love staying naked. Sometimes, I would also get naughty and tell my bf that I am naked....He's at the other side of the globe and impossible to instantly come and see me, with that he would feel aroused and will call me saying that I am unfair and so so bad. I love my body and good thing I have a good figure. My favorite part though is my behind.

Clothes can make us look bigger than we are! But it is nice to be able to cover up and protect ourselves. It does not matter as we are the ones who really know what we look like under our clothes!

Oh I thin I am better with clothes on. I am afraid I might scare people when I am naked.

LOL! You are too cute! I guess if most people were honest they'd admit that they didn't look very good naked either, but, with the right clothes on to flatter their figure they can be a real knockout and look very smart. I'm the same way, of course. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Well, I was always told that a mother's body is the most beautiful sight to see Whoever said that was full of it! I have 2 kids and I HAVE to wear clothes. Of course my youngest is only 7 months so I have some time to work on it yet. I was most comfortable naked after having my first child. I was always under weight before having her. The perfect weight after and now I'm just a bit heavier then I want to be. It's the belly pouch thing that I hate having.

When I'm by myself I spen alot of time naked! I feel comfortable and it keeps me cooler in the summer! I am morbid obese and even though I am I still have trouble expecting my body! At least when I'm home it doesn't bother me. If a had a boyfriend,which I doubt will ever happen again,must live full size women! If not I know I'll be insulted! That has happen in the past! Love my body and I'll be able to love mime more! Simple as that!
