Right now, I absolutely HATE being fully naked with my partner, and better believe the light is off when we do our thang!
I'm just curious, has anyone else gone through this and are now confident in their sex life to just be free and exposed?
Maybe I'm being silly, but I can't wait to get to that point where I feel sexy for my man

    Awesome, I was so self conscious before I didn't want anyone to see me naked. I feel good about my body now, and I feel sexier than ever.

    I'm not 100% there yet, but I'm on my way!

    One thing I have noticed is that we just seem to fit together better. I don't feel like I'm being smothered by my own fat when he's on top.

    Confession: sometimes I pull my shirt off and get so distracted looking at *my* new muscles in the mirror that I forget to look at him. ;) I definitely feel the a sexier girl having lost almost 30 pounds.

    Sex confidence definitely increases as weight decreases. It is nice to see more of your Mini Mr. because the fat around your groin area has subsided.

    I have found that I now have more energy to participate and my boyfriend definitely enjoys that.

    My body issues didn't disappear with the weight, unfortunately. I'm working on it, though.

    I've lost over 130 pounds and I'm totally self-conscious! My stomach and boobs are all icky now :( I will someday have a tummy tuck and breast lift.

    My husband has never had any hangups about my body - in fact he actually likes me curvier than I prefer myself. That said, I sometimes get so bummed if I pass the mirror and feel squishy that it does effect the way I feel about it all. I just try to remember the things he loves about me no matter what weight I am :)

    From a male's point of view, there's two parts of this. Or maybe three.

    First is the emotional/mental part. You feel better about yourself and feel like you look better, it makes everything better.

    Second, physically most males get a lot of padding around the groin area when they get fat that effectively causes them to lose length. Losing weight can make a difference of an inch or two.

    The last point has to do more with physical fitness than weight. Gaining a lot of aerobic fitness made all the difference in the world to me. Sex went from being a lot of hard work that, while pleasurable, always left me feeling like I was going to have a heart attack to being something that was just amazing again.

    I lost my boobs but kept a lot of my belly, so I'm not feeling any sexier naked, that's for sure. clothes look better, nekkid looks worse.

    I don't know why I constantly feel self conscious naked, he's seen me naked plenty of times but I always feel like I look disgusting and I don't want to see it so I'm sure he doesn't either! Lights off! I just want to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin

    Sex drive = up
    Frequency of sex = the same

    That sucks

    OP for me yes my sexual confidence has increased as I drop weight. I have other things to think about during sex like my partner pleasure.

    Used to more frequently. Life has just stepped in and been a real vag-block.

    That's not good :( -

    Mine is both equally UP... Frequency...5-6 times a week, every night if I let him... and we're married for 12 years now, in our mid 30's. My mom always tells me that we look like honeymooners all the time. hahah! I dont know we just can't get enough of each other I guess :)
