We are both very into bringing others into our sex life and my new body has made me discover how uninhibited I am.... with my clothes on. Here is where my problem comes in. I am very nervous about being naked in front of someone other than my husband. With my clothes on I think I look good (ok, average, cute) but naked, the weight loss has left me flabby . How do I proceed when it comes to others? What should I expect? Should I be nervous that when it comes to taking off my clothes people are going to be running scared? We have never done this before and I am afraid of peoples reactions. Am I just overthinking things?
I can relate to you very much. Since May 06 until now I have gone from a 28W to a size 12, so yes I know what you mean...stretch marks and loose skin! Yep, I feel ya. And yes, there are times when I wonder what people think about me....trust me girl, other people are not looking at these things. You need to take pride in your accomplishment and strut your stuff!!! Confidence is a turn on, as long as you know that you are sexy and you show that confidence you will be alright!! Shelly
