Some Truths About Male Nudity And Self Confidence

I believe that how a man feels about his nakedness is a strong indicator of his own self esteem.

If you belong to a gym or a sport where there is a change area and showers, just observe (if you don’t already), how the men interact there.

There are those with the tightly wrapped towel around their waist and they put on or take off their jocks with a deft movement under the towel. Often these are the younger men who don’t want to expose their sexual assets to anyone older than themselves.

Then there’s those mature men who are happy to let it all hang out. A casual towel over one shoulder and the rest of the body is totally naked and they seem not to have a care in the world.  They’ll happily chat whilst naked and not care about who might be looking at them. It has occurred to me more than once, they are this confident because they are generally well hung and/or have a well defined body. Those assets surely help with the confidence levels.

Then there’s the closeted bi man who has eyes like an eagles scanning the rooms activity for a surreptitious glimpse of a bit of cock. Generally his locker is close to the showers, especially if the shower area is an open communal area rather than the cubicles now so common. His eyes dart from one man to another, carefully avoiding any fixed eye contact. If he can leave the room having obtained an eyeful of real live manhood then that image will stay with him possibly for days to come and will be a useful image to recall whilst masturbating or having sex with his wife.

Then there’s the buddies who are close friends and touch each other with arms around bare shoulders and the jokes about sex and the girlfriends come thick and fast. Nudity is no issue as they are straight men and as such don’t have any sexual interest in other straight men. They’re just horny buddies with other things on their mind - like, how they will get laid tonight.

And what about the nude beach?  Do you enter and exit the water confidently, not wearing swimwear? Lie on your stomach whenever anyone passes?  Roll onto your back and fluff up your privates to attract a passer by? Go for a walk in the cruising area totally naked? Watch sex happening and not be embarrassed when you have an erection?   And would you allow yourself to be photographed nude?

And around home - do you swim or walk around naked, avoid being seen naked by neighbors, bask in the sun exposing everything or always wear clothing of some sort? 

Where do you stand in the nudity scale?

Are you at the super confident I-don’t-care-who-looks-at-me extreme or the must-always-be-covered-guilt-oppressed one?

Your answer will tell you a lot about how comfortable or otherwise you are about your nudity - and about how confident you feel about yourself.
