no..im not at the place with my body yet

I don't know, like if i'd established a comfortable threshold with a close friend then i guess i wouldn't feel too uncomfortable. 2. When i'm by myself i pretty much run around without anything on, but in front of strangers it takes a different tone.

I'm cool with being nekkid in front of people I don't know. I actually find it really comforting to be around other naked women at spas, gyms, etc—because it's a reminder that real women come in all shapes and sizes.

I'm uncomfortable even with a towel wrapped around

I feel EXACTLY the same way, Bella, but I have said as much to friends of mine, and they looked at me like I was crazy. Glad you understand. I used to care, but as I get older, I just get less and less modest.

im uncomfortable.. and i don't know why.. i just don't like the feeling i guess haha.. i like to be wrapped up in a towel.. on the other hand .. at home.. i love putting on lotion all over my body in front on the mirror so i don't miss a spot!! haha.. and my boyfriend loves it too!!... he will walk by and just stare at me i love that... but that's as far as my comfort goes..

umm I love to be naked at home and I could care less in front of my friends but with strangers I feel like I'm going to be judged or criticized for something. It might have something to do with my social anxiety.

Let me put it this way... you will have trouble putting me in clothes! Lol. I don't mind being naked in front of other women in the locker room and actually, I don't mind being naked for art sake in front of dozens of people. Nervous yes, but definetly not uncomfortable or ashamed.

yes...well i like being naked by myself, in my room, and i like my body

But you have to agree, some girls just like to look and criticise others, so i dont want to be naked infront of others that will judge my apperance

sorry
but its the truth

I'm fine with my body, but I don't like seeing strangers naked, and I don't like them seeing me naked. Probably the only thing "conservative" about me!

--i agree giggle! i love being naked in general-- but i have pretty big boobs for my size and i feel like women rip me apart in CLOTHES.. i could never handle those looks naked so its a towel for me

Ditto Giggle. I want to be that girl, but not there yet!

I love my body, and recenlty I have become more comfortable being naked. My boyfriend always compliments me on how he loves my body and gets so excited when I'm naked so I have gotten use to it more and more.
I mean, I usualyl don't sit naked aorund peopel I don't know...but watching tv in the comfort of my own house with the shades down - why not?!

I am actually. Weird because I have insecurities just like every other person! But I don't know... I'm okay with it! Haha.

defintely not, i wouldn't even be comfortable in just a towel!

I'm fine with it most of the time... as long as I'm not in one of my "moods" and all down on myself

Age has not helped me with my modesty problem, its made it worse.

I am fine with my body, but I would not feel comfortable being naked in a spa or locker room setting. Perhaps it is because I get completely weirded out when I see other women naked. Particularly in a locker room setting, I don't see why people need to conduct their business while naked. When I shower or change in a public place, I put my clothes on before stepping into a common area, and I would feel much more comfortable if everyone else did the same.

I agree with Amanda-La once again

i like to be naky but i dont like people looking at me naked unless its my boyfriend. but i will get naked in a locker room.

I am fine changing down to bottoms in front of a close friend but that's it. In locker rooms it's underwear.

I think there is a huge difference between European mentality and American. I am not sure what messes up the heads of American women so badly, but there is just no reason to be afraid of being nude in this kind of setting with other women.

i'm comfortable by myself and with my guy, maybe my close friends, and i guess i'm ok at the gym, but i'm not a flaunter. i like to keep it to myself.

I don't mind walking around in a thong, but naked is just a bit too much for me.

I have the same problem as Sofiababy...

I put other, I don't mind being naked when I'm in the steam room or the sauna but I don't like walking around the locker room naked

Totally honest answer is, parts of me...
I love certain sections and cringe at others.
I love my breasts & not my tummy.
My booty... What booty!
Just look into my eyes and it's all good...
Ha ha...

wheNo... my body is gross and I can't even look at myself in the mirror. The only time I could stand to look at myself was when I was very underweight and even then I thought I was pudgy.... I need help, I guess...

In college I played soccer and the entire team would pile into a big shower room after we were done practicing and basically all shower together. Not in a sexy way - it was just a big room with like 10 shower heads - we were all very far apart. After that I was cured of any modesty.

However, I generally don't just strip in front of friends. Being comfortable naked is great, but I like to try to consider if the people around me would be comfortable as well.

I work out at a gym every day where the showers are just one big room with poles in the center, so Im not too shy. I dont believe people should go trapsing around naked for the sake of it from one end of the locker room to the other, but i you need to change or shower, whats the big deal? I think part of the reason women are so much more insecure about their bodies is that society became open to locker room type nudity. Now the only naked women we see are models and actresses---and even they are airbrushed. Seeing the homecoming queen with weird boobs is all it takes to realize we are all just women, why be insecure?

Eh, naked's fine. I'm not in there to be judged, compare bodies, or anything other than steam, shower, and swelter. As a pragmatist, I also paint, dye my hair, clean the house, and used to mow my backyard naked (so I don't get my clothes dirty). I figure (usually) dressing sexily is what we do for men, dressing fashionably is what we do for other women. Naked is ME time!

I don't mind being naked, and my body is nowhere near perfect.

Definitely not, I have a hard time getting naked to take a bath!

Don't mind changing clothes, but have problems with nudity. I'm not secure enough with my body. With clothes on I think "Great" with clothes off I'm like "need bigger boobs, too skinny etc". I used to hate my chicken legs so much that I would go to track practice with pants....in southern florida. Yep need to get over some major issues b/f I get nude in front of others. I do think that the gym/spa is perfectly appropriate place for nudity. I don't get offended seeing other women naked. I think I would have a problem with public baths like in Japan where both sexes are welcome.

Not in the slightest. I'm not comfortable being naked when I'm alone.

I am comfortable being naked in front of others, always have been a little of an exhibitionist. However, I am only truly comfortable when I am comfortable in my own skin.

There have been "darker periods" where I let myself go, and I never got naked in front of anyone and literally threw away every mirror in my house.

It doesnt bother me. I know I dont have a perfect body, but neither does anyone else. I have come to accept myself and realise that there is nothing I can do about most of my imperfections (stretch marks, cellulite etc.)

I don't mind being naked. I'm very comfortable about my body, even though I always complain about my tummy & lovehandles.

I like my size but I want to tighten up but can't seem to get motivated to do because my clothes fit, my boyfriend loves my body and I am so lazy!

I'm definately comfortable with my body. One of the best days I have ever had was going to a nude day spa with a group of girlfriends. Yes there were couples there so there were nude men too but it was very liberating to just hang out and see the amazing Malibu views...

i'm too embarassed to be showing off my naked form. has anyone been to Japan and gone to the 'onsen' (spa)? all the women in there walk around naked and go from bath to bath. even rinsing in a publci area on stools in front of a mirror. it was an extremely confronting experience and i still remember my mum stripping of and immersing herself in that experience. but i just couldn't.

I am completely accepting and comfortable with my shape and my body, but I am more modest around strangers. I prefer to change in the changerooms and I don't walk around naked. I am totally comfortable doing that in the privacy of my own home, though.

i'm only comfortable being naked if i'm at home alone. the exception is the boyf.

sorry for the double posting...my browser froze for a good long while... *sigh*

I used to be incredibly shy about baring it all in front of other girls. One of my best friends had no qualms about it, and I saw her birthday suit plenty of times whether I was comfortable or not.

Then I went to an audition camp where the towel hooks were a good distance from the shower heads. I stood at a locker for a good bit, freaking out.
And then I saw all the other girls nekkid and realized that I looked better than some of them, and they weren't looking at each other but rather talking about rehearsals that day.
One of the most liberating moments in my life was taking the shower and not caring anymore.

I might not even be opposed to being a nude model for a sketching class.... as long as I don't know any of them personally!

Jadorechaussures and candi_s: I live in Japan and go to the onsen (public baths) once in a while. Ever since Japan opened to the rest of the world, more precisely since the 50s or so, there are no mix public baths anymore: men and women cannot go to the same baths anymore, thank god! Japanese people were not against it (they've had mix baths for centuries before that) but foreigners didn't allow that, so they had to change the rules.

However, public baths are very, very relaxing places and even if all the foreigners find this disgusting at first, they all get convinced and end up going there regularly. Basically, the other women are just like you: they're naked, they have the same body parts as you do and they're also shy sometimes!

Anyway, if you ever come to Japan, you should not miss the Onsen!! This is one of the best attractions in Japan and is also very good for your body and soul!!

i cant believe lots of people on here think its NOT NORMAL to be modest hahaha!! thats hilarious! im with giggle, dont like seeing ppl naked and dont want them seeing me that way.

just before i got married though i was always trying things on and i stopped caring if any women (as in the person helping me in the store) saw me in my underwear.. i guess u get used to it...

but now... i would be horrified. the fact ive put on weight since then prob has a lot to do with it but i would never have gone naked in front of anyone either.

i'm not that uncomfortable with it but i do like my privacy and i dont like walking around naked in front of people i dont know. but i dont mind if people see me as long as they're not staring.

Doesn't bother me at all. Friends, strangers, doesn't matter. I like being naked.
