How long did it take you to be comfortable about being naked around other people ? How did you get over being seen ? ( Reason why Im asking is im a very shy person and a friend asked me if I wanted to go "muddin" with him and his buddies and they go shirtless EVERYwhere ( and I still haven't told him Im bi :/ ) so that another thing, Anyway He wanted me to use his clothes and change with him and I came up with a lie so I wouldn't have to do it. )

True , I am very slow I guess ..... I don't like going shirtless around ANYONE Even my family I don't go shirtless in front of them ( I am like freakishly skinny and people think Ihave some kind of eating disorder ) so im boney and stuff like that :/

[ksdnfkfr]

everyone is different about it and there's nothing wrong with that. i'm kinda the exact opposite and oblivious to anyone seeing me bare, which isn't necessarily the best thing.

Really , How did you become so comfortable being naked in front of other people ?

[Gamma Male]

I couldn't care less about people seeing me naked.

He's autistic, and not caring about other people seeing you naked is kinda a big aspect of autism if I'm not mistaken.

[Big O]

Me either you just have to be confident and not give a sh*t YOLO

[CrazyPerson101]

Wow I didn't see that till you mentioned that :/ ...... I really need to pay more attention. Now I kinda feel bad :/

[christo17]

I don't care if somebody sees me naked.

[ksdnfkfr]

Really , How did you become so comfortable being naked in front of other people ?

because of my autism i have what's called lack of self awareness. it's just not something i think about. which has caused me to walk out of my room with nothing on when company was over or walk outside that way during a swimming party, so like i said not necessarily the best thing.

Wow I didn't see that till you mentioned that :/ ...... I really need to pay more attention. Now I kinda feel bad :/

no reason to feel bad at all. it's something we joke about at home or on vacation :)

Oh, it's not a big deal, I'm sure.

Ok :)

[Catholic Guy]

Sounds like he could be bi as well, it's just how confident you are about your body!

[pjones]

i have never been shy about my body or being naked in front of family or friends.

[Bmble_B]

lol, I'm still not comfortable around some people as it is! EVEN less naked.

[Hermes96]

See normally I'm really shy about my body but for the right guy I can do it but I really have to trust the guy

[CrazyPerson101]

Sounds like he could be bi as well, it's just how confident you are about your body!


Well idk , people say I have a nice body ( those of the FEW that have seen it ) and facial features ( I REALLY need a hair cut though :/ ) but idk I don't have much confidence at all I guess. I am a modest / shy person. I don't even like going shirtless in front of anyone ( unless its my cousin Elizabeth cause we've been close ever since she was born )

[CrazyPerson101]

same here , the last guy I felt that was was 3 years ago , I was 12 and h was 15 ( I used to spend the night at his house like every 2 days ) we were close and bestfriends till I moved and then it was like we just quit talking :/

[dball37]

Well, i'm mostly straight, but curious. And a lot of other guys my age are too. So, i thought if i don't care about being naked maybe being naked together could lead to some experimenting; even if we were just changing. So, usually i'll just say "look away if you care, but i don't care".

TL;DR: being naked might lead to some "experimenting"

Well If I change , I change in a stall cause its just wierd changing infront of someone else and I have been checked out before ( which was kinda creepy in one since but then again it was nice in another ) but Ok

1. What is muddin?
2. Some people are just like that-doesn't really go away I believe. Sorry

[CrazyPerson101]

It is were countrry boys get you on they're four wheeler and do find a muddy spot and drive through it as fast as the can thus getting you all messy but gives you excitement ( the rush of adrenaline ) He also wants me to go , froggin , fishing , build a actual fort and not a dinky pillow one , and some other stuff and thought so :/

[reiddec2]

probably when i realized that hey, every other guy has a dick so what the hell ;)

Thats what my friend Dale said but I still don't see how you can get naked infront of someone else, Ill eventually do it but idk :/

[Just Sayin]

i guess i have just kinda always been okay with it idk why

[reiddec2]

I think you won't be ok with it unless you know that others feel the same way…if that makes sense

[TheFSM]

I've speant most of my life shirtless, since I swim, so all I can suggest is repetition

[WithoutFear]

Eventually you just have to do it and realise people don't really care :)

[Abimania]

I'm comfortable already, but I never get the chance to be naked around other people.

I am still not completely comfortable. Before, I am still a little apprehensive but when it comes down to it I am completely fine. For me, I became more comfortable when I started playing for the senior rugby team at school about a year ago. Most of the team go naked in the changing rooms and so it is more unusual to not be naked in there... so yeah! :D

[Jason_Monty]

It really depends on the person. Some people are never comfortable being naked around others (I personally don't like being publically naked or shirtless around others) some people just love being shirtless and hate clothing.

Ahhhh Ok. I understand, You perffer to have clothes on but you are used to being around other guys so you're mor comfortable being around then naked ( or not ). That makes since ....

[Jeonard]

Yeah, that's exactly it. With guys I know and get along with there isn't really a problem

[DamoMac]

well, up until i was 13 i would never even think of getting naked in front of any one else, i was extremely private. But i formed and insanely tight bond with 7 boys, who have become my brothers and who i spend every week of my life with, and we got naked in front of each other all at the same time, and ever since then, after a couple more times doing it, i have become comfortable.

[matt_tgr]

Oooh I feel you man. I'm still not comfortable with being shirtless... I try to wear something all the time, even when I'm at home... and alone. I'm pretty skinny so maybe that's where this diffidence comes from. But by the looks of it (yes, I've checked your profile pic and you seem really cute and no, that's not weird) there's nothing to be ashamed of for you. I'm sure it still sucks, but hopefully we all will get more confident over time :)

[Remora]

i want to have clothes covering all my body 24/7.. only people i ever have been consiously naked with were my mom and a friend i experimented with, both of those times were really awkward and i just wanted to vanish...

and i won't be confortable with it anytime soon, no...

[CrazyPerson101]

Yeah, that's exactly it. With guys I know and get along with there isn't really a problem


Yeah well the only problem I have is I have grown up with girls my whole life so I naturally act like a girl ( I don't speak like one though ). Idk why I just am so the thought of taking off any of my clothes is like .... just you get my point. Thanks for explaining it though & taking the time to post in the thread :)

Same here but I haven't experimented much with any of my friends so I haven't ever been naked infront if any of my friends. Last time I was naked in front of my mom , I was 5 so its been 10 years of shyness for me .....

Wow, yeah! exactly that >.< last time my feminine parental unit AKA "mom" saw me naked was three years ago on holiday in Germany...

[Andrew2499]

To me it all depends on who it is. I'm comfortable being naked around friends as long as they get naked too. but i wont get naked with family.

I bet it was embarssasing ! I wouldn't be happy , id feel very violated and btw I like cats too :D

[Liam TWB]

It never bothered me that much and I think it was because I have two brothers that I'm used to being naked around at home, and I play a lot of team sports that mean showering together. As the guys have said, everyone is different and it's perfectly okay to feel the way you do - and most people probably are shy, at least a first.
All I could say is, after the first few times, the business of being bare will be less and less important compared to the fun you're having with the sport or game or whatever. Think of it like learning to swim - takes courage and effort to do succeed, but it's easy and massive fun once you've gotten used to it. ;)

[mychalo]

Having 5 boys sharing 1 bathroom you get comfortable nude with family quickly. Took baths with all my brothers at one time or another, we will jump into the shower with each other when short on time and we all use the pool nude. Have skinny dipped with a couple of my older brother's friends a few times but sadly none of my friends yet.

[That old kid]

True , I am very slow I guess ..... I don't like going shirtless around ANYONE Even my family I don't go shirtless in front of them ( I am like freakishly skinny and people think Ihave some kind of eating disorder ) so im boney and stuff like that :/

I too am skinny and I never used to be comfortable even wearing short sleeve t-shirts. I'm getting better about it but I found that most people don't care about how you look as much as you do. Learning to be comfortable with yourself helps a lot, but it takes time.

[Adrian]

still dont. i'm just not as confident as other people.

Same here :/

You guys are not alone :console:

[Big O]

For me bein naked is no problem because I don't have a problem with my size and I learned to accept I'm overweight but I'm not a tub of lard do it doesn't bother me anymore like it used too btw 7.5-7.75 Dick length

Ahhhh ok well I have grown up with women all my life , I lived in a house with 5 women , and me. I don't like being naked or even shirtless in front of people.

wow ... 6 boys ... man I feel bad for your parents :/ rasing boys aren't for the faint hearted ( but I bet ya'll are awesome ) ... Anyway I wish I had a brother my age or just about it , I only have a sister and she is 8 years younger than I am but she is a little diva XD. I've lived in with 5 women and JUST me so Im very shy

[CrazyPerson101]

I could have thought of 1 person of out 7 billion ( give or take a few ) people Id get naked with but its been 3 years and we don't talk much anymore. I don't get naked/shirtless in front of my family

[Bull]

Though I am the direct opposite of you I understand your position. It is you and that is ok. I am comfortable being naked with my family because I have always been naked with my family. It is just the way my brother and I grew up. I am 17 and he will be 16 in a couple of weeks. I don't see that your situation has anything to do with your sexual orientation. It is just you. If you are comfortable that is good. If you want to stretch your boundaries, the next time your friend offers, take him up on it. He may be looking for more of a relationship. You can get more comfortable with your body if you start being naked when you are in your room and in bed. The more you are naked, the more natural it will feel. As it becomes more natural feeling you will find it easier to be shirtless around family and close friends. How do you feel at the pool? :lol:

[Nacho01]

start doing it step by step , you will feel comfortable in a while

At the age of 15/16 I became extremely confident with myself, mainly because of the puberty changes because it was stuff I always wanted to do but couldn't but now I could (like sex in public places or just walking around naked) now I'm a very open person and my family is very open too. We are all pretty much nudists...no one is afraid to have sex out in the open or in their room with an open door! And I don't like clothes so I try to wear as less as possible and I'm naked where it's accepted....it'll take some time to get comfortable and pm if you have any more questions

[fast8]

Its something u have to work on by feeling comfortable with ur on body first

I'm still really shy about it so that I usually avoid swimming (even though I used to all the time) and changing rooms and, when I do, it can never be spur of the moment, like, I have to check first if any hair in places is too long or if I'm self-conscious about it and need to get rid of it (for a while I shaved my armpits and, if I went swimming, I would probably shave my chest). I'm very shy too and going shirtless freaks me out - I want to, but I can't, plus its hard to be in situations where I could end up staring at someone shirtless.

OMG the same thing happens to me and I wind up stareing at a shirtless dude and its embarrassing T.T I totaly understand ( although I don't have to shave my chest yet ) but I get your point.....
