Scared of being naked

[PastaProMaker]

So what happened is I decide to sleep over at my GF's house. It's not the first time it happens, so I was completely relaxed about the whole thing. At some point, as per usual, we start touching each other (I rub her panties with my hand etc).. When at some point, I thought I wanted to try to get my first blowjob or at least a wank. So I'm about to pull my shorts down, the head comes out, when I suddently feel terribly anxious and force myself to pull them up again. She was not going to stop me so it was all my fault. I'm usually very good at dealing with pressure and anxiety, but in this case it was strikingly unbearable. Is it normal? How do i get around this? Please let me know

Maybe you aren't ready to have sex with your gf yet? I think you should try to analyse the reason you felt anxious. Once you know it, you'll find it much easier to deal with the anxiety.

maybe you were anxious because you were about to do something you had never done before and maybe you were feeling a little apprehensive about her seeing your body in an aroused state. Im just guessing here, but maybe you should re-examine the situation and find out yourself.

that's gotta be an awful feeling. i think you should talk to your g/f about it. it might make you feel more relaxed, and coming from a girl's POV, if she saw you take it out and slide it back in, she might be worried that there was something wrong with what she was doing. letting her in on your feelings would help you both out.

it is normal enough man. first time being naked and about to do a sexual activity with your gf. a lot of guys get anxious. talk about it with your gf, but eventually, if you are going to do that type of stuff, you will have to get naked

I think the first time your naked with someone, its weird for most people. Its just been drilled into our heads that its wrong to be nude with them. Maybe, and this is assuming you are actually ready for sex or whatever is going on, you should just trying something like watching TV in your underwear (both of you) or the least amount of clothing both of you are comfortable with. Just keep edging it along until you get to the point where you can be naked with each other.

*EDIT*

Not going into detail, but the first time i tried it, it literally took me like 10 minutes to get my shorts down. Don't be embarrassed, it happens to us all.

Thanks to everyone for your replies, hopefully I can get this issue sorted. Maybe I'm just not ready despite my age, who knows.
