Where Do You Stand? Sending a Lover Nude Photos

DearSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

We all have our own feelings about nudity. While some of you have no problem stripping down in front of a new guy or changing at the gym, others are more modest, keeping yourselves covered until you trust a person enough to see the real you. Being naked can be very freeing though, which is one of the reasons sex is so exciting, special, and arousing, but would you try to capture those feelings in print? Ladies, where do you stand on sending nude photos of yourself to someone you're in a relationship with?

Where Do You Stand: Being Naked in a New Relationship

DearSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:00:00 -0700

As annoying as dating can be, you can't deny that it's also equally exciting. Nothing beats the anticipation of having your first kiss, and of course, moving on to other fun pleasures in the bedroom. Sharing your body with someone else is a very special experience, so I'm wondering, how do you feel about getting naked when you're in a new relationship?

Are you shy at first, but then quickly warm up? Or are you the kind of person who is completely comfortable in her skin and can bare it all with no qualms? Maybe you're a little hesitant and you wait for the other person to get naked first, or does being naked make you utterly uncomfortable no matter who you're with? Share your feelings in the comment section below.

Très Bizarre: Man Charged For Being Naked in His Kitchen

TresSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Spending more time around the house naked might be good for the planet, but it could also land you in jail. The state of Virginia has charged Eric Williamson, 29, with indecent exposure for hanging out nude in his own home.

Early Monday morning, around 5:30 a.m., a naked Eric was making a cup of Joe in his kitchen. At the same time, a woman and her 7-year-old boy happened to walk through Eric's front yard. She called the police, who quickly arrived on the scene and arrested Eric. The reporting officers must have given Eric a chance to get dressed, because he's wearing clothes in his mug shot.

The police say that Eric wanted the strangers to see him naked. If prosecutors can prove that, Eric might be sentenced to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Considering it was so early in the morning and still dark out, it seems unlikely that he was standing in his kitchen naked waiting for random passersby to catch a glimpse. I doubt Eric will be convicted, but he still must be pretty upset about the whole situation. Perhaps the lady cutting through his lawn should be the one facing the law!

Dear Poll: Are you comfortable being Naked?

DearSugar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:00:00 -0700

How do you feel about being naked? In a previous poll, 42% of you said you feel more comfortable having sex with the lights off. Being secure in your own skin makes a huge difference in your overall well being says Laure Redmond, the author of Feel Good Naked. She was quoted in O Magazine's July 2007 issue saying,

"I just want women to feel good about their bodies so they can feel good about themselves - because when a women feels good naked, it shows"

For me, being comfortable and confident in my own skin came with age. Just like all young women, I fell victim to the media's obsession with skinny. While we all have our fair share of insecurities, what I want to know is, are you comfortable without any clothes on?

Dear Poll: Are You Comfortable Being Naked?

DearSugar — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:00:00 -0700

I treated myself to a much-needed massage this weekend. Relaxing in the steam room and taking my time in the locker room was exactly how I wanted to spend my Sunday afternoon. While I was getting dressed, I noticed that some of the women I was sharing the bathroom with weren't all that comfortable being naked in front of the other women.

While I happen to not be very modest, I understand that some women are not as keen on the idea of walking around naked in front of strangers, so ladies tell me, do you feel comfortable being naked in a locker room or spa bathroom?

Dear Poll: Do You Enjoy Being Naked?

DearSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:30:00 -0800

Many women have a volatile relationship with their body. One day they love it and the next they hate it, which is why flaunting your birthday suit is not for everyone. Plus, if you're not used to being naked, when you are, it can make you feel incredibly vulnerable. But there are also those women who love just being in their own skin and nothing else. Which sounds more like you?

Très Bizarre: Famillies Dressed in Naked Suits

TresSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:45:00 -0700

Thanks to the website Awkward Family Photos, we all know how uncomfortable family portraits can be. But some families are willing to really embrace the awkward nature of a family photo by dressing up in hand-knit naked suits for the occasion.

San Francisco's public television channel recently caught up with artist Anna Maltz, the woman who makes the head-to-toe suits and then takes photos of people wearing them. (I wonder if she also made the suit Sacha Baron Cohen wore at the Berlin premiere of Bruno?)

Anna explains that she got her inspiration from original naked people Adam and Eve. The only downside to wearing the suit? Curious people often feel free to squeeze what they believe to be fake breasts, when they're actually squeezing the real breasts that lie beneath the suits! Would ever try one on for size?

Calvin Klein Up to Old Tricks With Threesome Ad

TresSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:00:00 -0700

I doubt anyone is surprised that a Calvin Klein advertisement is causing controversy for being sexually charged. Despite the company's record, a new ad featuring one woman being "shared" by two men, while another watches, has aroused public outrage again.

Calvin Klein ironically (and predictably) uses a practically naked women to sell clothes and can only be described as pornographic. The billboard has upset families in the SoHo neighborhood in New York, where it resides. The company says the intention was to create "a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic," which I assume doesn't include children passing by the jumbo-size threesome.

This latest ad might not be Calvin Klein's most shocking - that prize probably goes to the 1995 TV campaign that alluded to child pornography. Even so, do you think this ad should be taken down?

Airport Security: They Get to See You Naked!

TresSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Did you think taking off your belt, shoes, and sometimes dignity at airport security was the end of it? Think again. It turns out that due to a newish technology, airport security can basically see images of you naked.

Privacy advocates are attempting to stop the US Department of Homeland Security from using whole-body imaging, a technology that is being used now in 19 airports and which displays a blurry but distinctly naked image of a passenger's body with the face blurred out.

The machines "detect both metallic and nonmetallic threat items to keep passengers safe," according to a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration, and some say the machines speed up the otherwise annoying and time-consuming process of metal detectors or pat-downs. To find out what privacy advocates are up in arms about, and to watch a demo of whole body imaging in a video, read more

Privacy advocates, from the ACLU to the Electronic Privacy Information Center, say that although the person working the machine never sees the image, and the person looking at the image never sees the passenger (they're in a remote location), there are larger concerns.

Where are the legal disclosures? What if TSA changes their policies down the road? The computer doesn't store the images, but what if that changes later? The machines are being used now in some courthouses in the US, and opponents claim that it's only a matter of time they show up in mundane spaces like malls.

According to one ACLU lawyer, "A choice between being groped and being stripped, I don't think we should pretend those are the only choices. People shouldn't be humiliated by their government."

Has surveillance gotten out of hand? Do you feel safer, or think technologies like whole-body imaging are worth it?

Do Tell: Were Your Parents Open About Their Sex Lives?

TresSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Most people I know get creeped out by the idea of their parents having sex (you probably thought "eeeeew" after reading that sentence). But some of the more freewheeling parents out there don't bother hiding their sexuality from their children.

Earlier this week on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, single mom Danielle spoke candidly about her love life with her young daughters. The girls informed their mother that her much younger boyfriend was just using her for her "goodies." Danielle told her girls she hopes they'll save their goodies for their husbands, since she doesn't want them to go through the same thing she has.

Some parents go even further than just talking about their sex lives with their children. In an interview this week, actor Shia LaBeouf says his sense of humor came from "seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked."

Did you have parents like that, or did your parents lead you to believe they were asexual?
