Cheery Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 On the subject of looking at naked bodies, I posted about this on the 'asexual moments' thread. I'm in art school and practice anatomy a lot at the moment, which means looking at pictures of nude people and drawing them to get a feel for anatomical correctness. But it really doesn't go further than that. I like to look at these pictures because I'm interested in how the body is shaped, where the muscles are, how they move in certain poses. But it's like looking at a picture of, say, a vase. I'm interested in the aesthetic and funcionality but I don't feel 'turned on' by nudity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gymgirl Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 To me, nudity is horribly disgusting. That of others as well as my own. I strictly avoid ever being naked, even when taking a bath or shower (alone). Images of (partially) naked people are so repulsive and unsettling to me that my girlfriend censors all media (newspapers, journals, tv, internet...) for me and removes everything offensive.

Conscientious Ghost Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yes, I care. I already hate looking at my naked body because I would feel the desire to slash off areas of my body I don't need. It's awkward if another person is naked in front of me unless it's serving a purpose for education like science, art, anatomy etc., but it's flesh. People can walk naked around the house, and I'll just adjust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvenofaven Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I absolutely hate being naked, and I would hate to see other people naked, too. There's a thing called clothes and they were invented for a reason. And my reason is that they be worn nearly all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SMW22792 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This may sound silly, but I like looking at myself naked. Not the same can be said when looking at others though. Not that it's a complete turn off, but it surely isn't a turn on if that makes any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
defaultuser Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't like to be naked myself, makes me feel like an animal. As for another people, yes, I see "meat". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyt Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm fine with it since nudity by itself isn't sexual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't really mind seeing nudity. In shows and movies or whatever, it never ruins my enjoyment of it. Really to me all it means is simply not wearing clothes. Even seeing sexual nudity doesn't get any reaction out of me beyond "meh". After all, if I had an issue with seeing others naked, I wouldn't be able enjoy many things I love. Like the Pink Floyd The Wall movie. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leera Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nudity doesn't bother me one bit, but I don't look at naked bodies in the way most would,from an artist's perspective nude can be beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Green Kitten Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Think nothing of it. I don't think it's beautiful, I don't think it's repulsive... it just is, and it's not of any interest to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batts Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not a fan of nudity - especially my own. I hate mirrors and they make me feel really uncomfortable. When I go to the gym and see other women walking around the change rooms with everything hanging out it makes me a bit queasy. If it comes up in a movie or tv show I'll look away or leave the room. Nope I dont want to see that. Nope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterparker Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Others-wise I guess I'm indifferent regarding the whole thing) I kind of jokingly pin that on showering daily with other girls during marching band season but I just don't really mind, I suppose) As for myself I really don't think I'd mind being naked in front of other people if it wasn't some sexualized-ish situation somehow, or just with other aces) What I do mind more than that is wearing shirts or pants or any of that that would draw attention to me like that, if that makes sense) My sister and brother just kind of think I'm a prude for refusing to wear a bikini/etc to the beach but it's more of not wanting people to look at me than being ashamed of my body which they don't really get) Yet, hopefully) (This might be the only site where I don't feel entirely awkward writing about sex and nudity and it's rather strange to think of it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus710 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't know why I would run around naked. My house has windows everywhere and I usually feel paranoid and watched. I also don't like seeing myself in a mirror. Just feels like reducing myself to the body that carries my brain. I don't feel anything particular when seeing a person naked. Actually, I find myself staring at random people sometimes, wondering about their legs, butts, arms, etc. I can't understand why people would feel sexually attracted when seeing a naked person. But anyway, that's just what movies want to tell us, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beyourownspotlight Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Personally, I don't like being naked. I just get cold, and it's not very nice. If I'm in the shower, or the bath I don't mind, and I'll hang about in my towel rather than put on clothes. But I don't like people seeing me naked (I have far too much chub to enjoy being looked at). I don't mind other peoples nudity, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. In my line of work I see countless naked bodies daily, but even in my homelife other peoples nudity doesn't bother me. It's just skin, to me. We all have skin, and different bits and bobs. There's no point in being offended by a body in my opinion (other peoples I mean--- I still dislike mine). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhale Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I want to be naked as much as possible. I believe that it is the ideal for asexuality to live in a way where nudity is normal and non-sexual. If I was (or when I get) fat, I would still be naked as much as possible because I would love my "unattractive" body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharpie_mini Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 For me, nudity is just a fact of life. My boyfriend often comes out of the shower naked to change clothes. I've got nothing against it in general. That being said, I hate the way my body looks, and I don't like other people to see me. My boyfriend's never even seen me fully naked. I never wear anything above my knees or elbows, and few of my tops show off my chest - I mostly wear button-ups or blouses for work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zapstileon Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't mind nudity. I only mind my own nudity because I don't like some of my body parts. Other people are free to be as naked as they please. I wouldn't be put off if I walked into a room where someone stood naked. It's happened more times than I can remember. I see person without clothes, nothing more or less than that. I'd probably give them a coat to cover up if it was cold or something, but that is out of considerations other than embarrassment or discontent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cairne Bloodhoof Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 You can hardly see me naked. Only when I take shower. Other than that, I always wear clothes. As for other people... I don't find men aesthetically pleasing, so I don't have to see them naked. I find women are aestheticaly pleasing, but I don't have to see them naked either. I prefer when people have their clothes on. If they like to walk naked, it's their thing. I won't judge them because of that, just as I won't judge sexual for having sex.

Squawk Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Naked bodies are aesthetically unappealing. I appreciate the shape and outlines, but other than that... The only thing a human body could possibly look pretty to me would be fully clothed. Even then, I'm very picky about the clothes, so something fashionable and that accents the human figure without actually showing any flesh... Walking naked around the house? Not if I can help it. Can't do much about showers, but that's about it. I walk in on my parents when they're in their underwear and stuff, and well, it doesn't kill me, but that sure as hell doesn't mean I enjoy it. Specially the private parts. I mean, do people actually LOOK at those things? They're hideous. How someone could ever find those pieces desirable is beyond me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Contrarian Expatriate Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Nothing wrong with it innately, but it's something best done alone as it can lead to annoying presumptions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhenSummersGone Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like nudity when it comes to art but not how it is in porn. I like to wear clothes so I'm not naked much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helana12_03 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I never walk around naked. Ever! It makes me feel uncomfortable like my clothes are missing or something, even when I'm alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janus the Fox Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like my own nudity, could be relieving from sensory stress involving clothes, or can be preferable being nude for mastrubation. I'm not really interested in seeing anyone else nude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chebu Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Nudity can be beautiful, especially in art. But then I'd prefer sculpture and paintings to photography tbh. Personally I'd hate to be nekkid in front of anyone, for any reason. But it's nice to see the one you love naked, not in a sexual way though. Just seeing them, and only them. That they feel comfortable enough to be without clothing in your presence is a nice thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
