Being very self conscious about being seen naked.

I'm very self conscious about being seen naked, is it normal? Even by my parents and family etc. I don't think anyone's seen my wang but me for years lol (Im still a virgin).

    I don't even like to go swimming shirtless, and got a "C" in gym because I often refused to dress out. Yes, I would think it's normal.

    Around parents and family members yes, because that's just gross, but around a chick (especially horny) just pull it out and get lucky

    The best way to get over it is to get naked in the middle of social studies.

    I agree with Carl most people are self-conscious about being seen naked by others. But its not like your putting on a show for them. I was self-conscious at different times in my life but always got over it. I do think younger guys are more self-conscious about their bodies. They think they may not measure up or get a hard on possibly in public. Well were all not really that different, if you get a hard on cover up with a towel washrag or some thing. If some one dose see your hard on why is he looking at it any way. That's not really any big deal if he glances only if he stares..Dont worry you teens naked is no big deal, if it were we would never get lucky with our gals.

    no it's not normal to be so body concious, your parents already saw you naked and although they might not have seen it am sure they know what you look like naked. To get over it you should go to a naturist beach. You'll soon feel comfortable and will be happy to get naked too. You'll be pleasantly surprised how liberating it feels

    It's normal to be self-concious about nakedness. I was always shy and wouldn't even wear a pair of shorts for years. I got over this by getting up the nerve to go to a nudist resort far enough away from home that I wouldn't get caught. Much to my surprise, five minutes after I had undressed and was socializing with other naked people, I didn't even think about it. And from that time on, I've been able to shed my clothes at the drop of a hat -- no problems whatsoever.

    You get over it pretty quickly when there's sex involved.
    My body looks like a modern-art masterpiece, and my first gf was pretty good looking. It made me really nervous until I got the idea that she was INTO ME. Not my rippling abs. After a few times in the dark you'll be posing nude on the kitchen table for her. (Seriously Sheila, I want those pictures back!)

      I was going to ask that! Not sure how old the author is but probably at an age where it's no longer normal to walk around naked like a little child often does.

    What is a wang? Are you Chinese? If not, speak English like the rest of us here. Fearing being naked in front of others is a symptom of the sexual repression enforced mostly by Christianity and is the leading cause self loathing and body dysmorphic disorder.

    Personally I wouldn't undress in front of family but with people you know to be accepting of nudity makes personal acceptance of your own physical flaws (everyone has them) far easier to handle.
