Where do you sit on the scale of being totally at ease with being naked, or covering up, even in front of your partner/children/in-laws?

If 1 is low and 10 is high I’m a 1

Marydoll Thu 28-Feb-19 15:05:40

I'm a prude! Always have been grin. blush
Now if I was a size 10, that might be a different matter.

Anja Thu 28-Feb-19 15:08:55

In laws? ?

MissAdventure Thu 28-Feb-19 15:09:32

I'm probably about the same, Maw
I was going to say I was a 2, but then I thought of the whole idea of wearing a bikini, and how it makes me cringe.
In front of my grandsons? Noo.

No!

I can't stand to look at myself, never mind inflicting it on others.

Cherrytree59 Thu 28-Feb-19 15:27:32

Partner/DH 10
Sister 10
DD 10
Doctor etc 10
Everybody else unless on a beach holiday would cover up.
So I guess 1 or 2
But that is out of respect for others not myself.

However not too bothered if in open changing at gym/swimming baths.

Sorry seem to have ? the issue.

I don't and never have had the figure to go naked or even bikini clad in public. I hate communal showers and even shop changing rooms.
I have never let GC see me naked = 1
DD hasn't seen me naked for several years =3
DH = 10
In laws shock = minus 42
Doctors =2

I remember some years ago, being away on holiday with my then boyfriend, his daughter and his mum.
(Exotic, I know!)

His mum came in from her early morning walk, and told us she was going straight away for a dip in the sea.
As she was saying it, she was undressing completely, pulling on her costume and swimming hat.. goggles and noseclip and she was gone!

Susan56 Thu 28-Feb-19 16:40:39

DH 10
Everybody else just no!

GrannyGravy13 Thu 28-Feb-19 16:59:28

My Husband wouldn't notice if I done the housework and gardening stark naked!!!!

My daughter will often come into my bathroom whilst I am showering to have an "important" conversation ???

All my GC have seen me starkers, but I avoid at all costs now as GS's are getting older.

Doctors, well once you have had children you are pretty much used to it!

Still wear a bikin on holiday, whether with family or friends.

Have been to a spa with D and DILs so communal changing, tried to be careful.

I have been carved up so much that my body isn't great any more. The days when I would walk around naked in front of OH have long gone. Always a nightie in the bedroom now. I find a cubicle to change in if I go swimming. My children and DGC don't see me in any state of undress either. I am a 0 I think sad

BlueBelle Thu 28-Feb-19 17:38:56

Zilch for anyone and everyone not out of embarrassment but respect

I have little embarrassment about being seen naked because it is just a body and we all have one but I respect that it embarrasses others. If anyone apart from my husband walks in on me naked, I find myself reassuring them not to worry and apologising. After all, I don't want them scarred for life at the sight! grin
