I wondered if it's common for us to not even be bothered about simple nudity? I'm not a prude about it and genuinely don't care hahaha. I quite enjoy being nude. It's just not something I'm like YEAHHH I WANNA SEE HIM NAKED. And also, I don't necessarily want him to see me naked, purely on the basis that I'd see it as me teasing him

I get this. Unless it's a sexual setting, I have no qualms about seeing people naked. I don't particularly like genetals, but that's because they aren't aestetically pleasing. It's also only in sexual situations that I feel uncomfortable being naked, and I hate that feeling as usually I am comfortable without clothing

everywhere and nowhere

Personally, I'm very uncomfrotable about nudity. I feel unfortable when I don't have at least 4 pieces of clothing on (panties, bra, shirt and pants - but in fact rather 5, because it has to be extremely hot to make me consider not wearing a vest under my shirt). Nobody has seen me naked since I was a small child. Actually I feel uncomfortable even with a neckline reaching below the collarbone (I only wear men's vests in order to make necklines higher, but they aren't perfect either). Even in the summer usually the only uncovered parts of my body are head, neck, forearms and feet. As I'm definitely uneasy as well about seeing other people naked, especially people I consider close.

In fact, I have never even seen myself totally naked. I don't want to, I respect my body, but have no enthusiastic feelings about it and I have felt a lot of discomfort in hotels and hostels which had a large mirror in the bathroom - in required extra care not to see myself before I'm dressed.

It definitely is related in some way to my asexuality. For example, I feel like I could never try sex precisely for that reason. Do I have some level of curiosity about how it feels like? Yes. But I could never bring myself to undress in front of anyone, even in the dark, or to let her touch my private parts. And I don't want to feel otherwise, even if all society thinks that people like me Have A Problem and should be ashamed of themselves if they don't want to seek help and force themselves to be comfortable with nudity.

I thought it was interesting to read the OP's suggestion that asexuals might be more comfortable with nudity on account of not viewing it in a sexualized way. I hadn't heard that perspective before, but can see how that could be true for some asexuals. In contrast, I'm body/sex-repulsed and dislike nudity, whether it involves myself or other people. And much like the previous poster, I'm fine with this situation and have no plans to try to change.

I don't mind nudity in the slightest. I can be naked in front of others with little care.

I have seen all of my friends totally nude, all female as I dont have any male friends.  This is mostly because we will be trying on each others clothes, or have just gone clothes shopping so are trying on the stuff we just bought with stuff we already had.  It didn't do a thing for me in anyway what so ever, tho I did prefer it if they left their bra and panties on.  I haven't been naked in a public setting, like a changing room at a pool since i was about 10, but that is more because of the clothes I wear and not because of the nudity aspect.  Luckily I have become a good judge of what clothes suit me and my size as I could never get changed in a shop.

Well I'm ok in a certain way with nudity because it's our body after all,  but personally I avoid to see people naked because it feels awkward.

I think it has a lot to do with culture, like some people have already said. In Finland nudity is really normal, so it doesn't bother me. Of course there are individuals who differ from their own culture, but yeah.

I am totally comfortable being naked, I love the naked body, both male and female

Nudity is just a bundle of cells without clothing on. I've got no reason to care about it one way or the other.

From my early teen until about ten years ago, nobody had seen me naked. A camping friend then introduced me to nudism (I'll post the link to a thread later) and as they say, "The rest is history". 

 

I feel really 'free' when I'm naked whether it's just hanging out at the beach, a remote campsite or swimming.

Probably because I don't feel confident with my body (idiopathic hypogonadism) I would not want anyone to see me nude. 

I'm not comfortable with seeing people nude IRL either, but as an art form, painting, sculpture etc I'm fine with.

I have never felt any qualms with nudity and my time in water polo and performing arts (choir, dance and some drama) I've changed in front of and helped changed both guys and girls (quick changes and all) and been totally cool with it as have all of them. This "changing with purpose" takes out all potentially implied sex aspect and makes a lot more people comfortable than otherwise might be so makes sense that a lot of aces would feel similarly.

That necroposting, though.

 

To be on topic:

I'm not technically bothered by toplessness, but bottom nudity is an... iffy area for me.  I definitely don't want to be nude in front of anyone (I see it as a huge invasion of my personal space) and I don't really like being shirtless around people, but the latter had more to do with me being mildly pigeon-chested and not wanting people to ask about it.

 

As for women being topless in front of me, I make sure to look away from them but idk if that's just me being polite (there are more women/girls living with me than guys) or if I genuinely don't want to look.  I'm leaning towards the former, but maybe it's a combination of both?

HeteroRomanticAce

I am male, under 18, sex-repulsed hetero-romantic asexual. I hate pornography, but I am so attracted to nudism. Like most other comments, I don't mind male nudity, but I see the female body as "God's Art". I do not have a girlfriend yet, so I like looking at female nudity online (I mainly use Tumblr, because that is the easiest way to find non-sexual nudity), but when I get one, I will spend as much time as possible being naked with each other. I do not mind seeing other people naked, or vice versa (other people seeing us naked, in fact, I'd like if we would be seen naked). I do not understand why most of the world considers nudity sexual, or weird and why most asexuals are nudity-averse, if nudism is not sexual in first place. I am the type of person who would like the world to be naked.

I don't mind looking at men naked.  That actually turns me on I think.  (Am I even ace?  I don't like the actual touching of a stranger though.)

 

If I see women naked, that makes me uncomfortable.  I am not sure if that is because I'm repressing homosexuality, or else I just don't like it.  I have no idea, that is my struggle right now.

 

I used to be more confident with my own nudity when I was younger and thinner, but now I'm more self-conscious.  I even cover my arms because I think they're large, but that's not really related to sexuality.
