A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

every time im alone with my boyfriend he tries to take off my clothes, when he does i start to feel selfconscious about my chest and the area between my legs. he has seen my chest before but i cant fight the urge to cover myself. i dont want to be selfconscious because he tells me that i have a great body and i know he wants more as i do myself. how can i stop being selfconscious?

Yes, you may be too self critical about your looks. Our culture puts a LOT of improper emphasis on women's appearance.

On the other hand - it could be your mind and emotions are telling you that you're going too far, too fast, with this guy at this stage of your relationship.

Person 12345 is right on the money. People are often too critical of themselves. You probably look just fine.

Why do you care so much if you are alone with him? Just take it all off and relax. You say he has seen your breasts. Guys like breasts of all shapes and sizes so don't worry. He will like ot look at them.

It sounds like you are concerned with your pubic region. Today's women keep that area well trimmed or bare. I prefer to see a little low trimmed growth. A bare floor looks too pre-adolescent to me and that kind of weirds me out... but that's just me.

As long as you are clean and well groomed you have nothing to be concerned with. Enjoy!

person12345 agony auntYou just need to believe him, he wouldn't say it if he didn't think so. Let him lavish you wish compliments about your body. Pretend you're confident in yourself and you'll start to believe it. It's like smiling when you're sad. You eventually start to feel better. And believe me, when he can't keep his hands off you once you're naked, you'll know you look great. So just act confident, and you'll get there.
