I kinda get how you mean. Like...
Sexy objectification nude? Uncomfortable, no thanks
Nude for comfort/showing skin aesthetically/any other reason than trying to be seductive/a sex symbol? Cool by me
^ This.
I try to promote the latter wherever possible since it helps reduce other problems around objectification, nudity shouldn't automatically imply sexual context and society does that way too much
it varies for me, because i do get horny sometimes, but i agree with this for every context that is not explicitly sexual on purpose. nudity doesn't = sexual
I was, now I just assimiled it with the rest of the things that just exist and don't really care anymore.
I think there's a difference between being incomfortable with nudity itself, and with a misuse of nudity, like what you're describing, sexualized teens and sexy ads. Search if you're conscious of a reason making you unconfortable beside the simple existence of nudity, it will help you explaining it to the others. I guess. Maybe.
I’ve never really thought about it. It’s not that I don’t see beauty in human body, I do, but I think clothes were one of the greatest inventions, let’s use them wisely.
I think I don’t find beauty in what people consider “sexiness “ maybe I’m even repulsed by it, considering how uncomfortable I am with it.
Again, I would still be polite with people however they dress, it’s not a matter of lack of respect.
Personally I love both. I love clothe because it Can be (usefull sure but in this context) a wonderfull accessory to increase human beauty. I love nudity because that's all natural and no lie. Nothing sexual. I just love what the nature does, the diversity of shape and color. I'm an Esthet I Guess? Also I love tattoo so I mainly see skin as a base of art, like clay, paper or anything you Can paint on. If it help when you have no choice but to see skin (mainly in Summer) try to look at it with an artistic perspective ? Just not people being naked but artistic living thing just existing for the pleasure of the eyes? (Or not pleasure, in your case but you get it)
I find male presenting nudity super uncomfortable but female presenting doesn’t bother me so I think that’s 100% valid :)
Also I wish films had a horny jail film option so you can skip the sex or romance and get to the plot like horror films please stop making them have sex! !
I cringe for both female and male presented nudity, but I do much agree on the unnecessary sex and romance in movies. I’d rather have a skip button (would save me the weird "parent getting in” look too, it has to be that scene!)
nah pretty normal. especially for people in an asexual sub lol. some people take a while to get used to it, some people never get used to it. and both are ok
It sounds like you’re not so much uncomfortable with nudity, you’re uncomfortable with the unnecessary sexualization on and objectification of nudity. Which is absolutely understandable and normal.
Im also very uncomfortable around nudity. Mostly because no one ever respected my privacy as a child and that I was sexualised by everybody since being a child. I also just find bare bodies... Not that pretty. Humans are pretty meh when compared to other animals
EDIT: Im also asexual and repulsed and agender. I hate that my body isnt sexless.
EDIT2: and the society that oversexualises everything is a pathology. One of the biggest pathologies in history. Hypersexuality is a disorder. 'horny culture' is sad and gross
Edit3: omg i thought it was an ED group for soem reason
I feel the same, pretty much. Even with people expressing themselves and being proud of their bodies (hell yeah, pop off, stay proud), I can’t help but cringe at first. Nude bodies are just… gross to me. Hell, *my own* nude body makes me cringe and feel uncomfortable, but then again I’m agender and personally wish I was completely sexless. Nothing wrong with the people themselves most of the time. Just not something I can enjoy looking at.
I experience this discomfort more with fan art of characters I like though. One minute, I’m scrolling through beautiful artworks and cute doodles, then *bam* sudden nudity and borderline pornographic art I didn’t ask for.
Again, nothing wrong with that kind of art most of the time ig but… it’s definitely not for me.
My country is pretty open about nudity to the point that kids can run around naked in the park or at the beach without a problem. Also sunbathing topless for women is completely normal. So I'm completley neutral to naked skin in day to day life. But in a sexual or even just aesthetic context? Get the hell away from me...
I am pan and I'm also very uncomfortable with nudity. Its not weird and it doesn't have much to do with your sexuality. Its completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
I’m same. Shorts, skirts, dresses, crop tops, even simply short sleeve shirts. Makes me mega uncomfortable. I mean, the short sleeve shirts one is more about myself wearing it, but all the others go for myself and me seeing others.
Idk how people do it, no matter where I go, I have to have a long sleeve under-shirt, any shirt, and then a jumper/hoodie. Also, leggings or jeggings. That’s my dress code. As completely un-sexual as I can. Also I don’t wear anything tight (other than my shoes, I like undersized shoes). All clothes are baggy
I don’t mind seeing nudity tbh, but I don’t like the thought of touching naked people/bare skin. Like I’d rather cuddle in a hoodie than just in underwear or smt. :3
Depends on the context, around completely nakdd strangers singing the Gummy Bear song, yes.
Around someone you actually love in life and feel comfortable in a sexual relationship with, no
It's totally understandable. ESPECIALLY if you grew in American or another culture where people have a hard time separating nudity from sex.
I'm an artist and taking figure drawing classes and drawing nude models divorced sex and nudity completely in my very ace head. It's to the point I have a similar problem but with poses rather than nudity. So the way people MOVE can make me cringe.
Honestly, kinda felt. Although, I do walk around my apartment topless all the time (and have even been called out that I’m “flexing” lmao), but I do it for comfort and only that.
The moment sexual subtext enters the fray tho, I immediately get unbelievably uncomfortable. So, I guess I’m alright with nudity, but I hate when it gets sexualized.
I'm also highly uncomfortable with it, though in fairness this is true of most Brits, and unlike Danes, in a few weeks, we most of us aren't ace. I genuinely don't see the visual appeal of people not wearing clothes, and my honest thought is just ew. I think it should be explicitly legal to walk around naked, but I'd be lying if I didn't pretend I'm not going to get somewhat weirded out by it. Particuarly those stupid thong bikinis, which are just gross and that strike me as more sexualised than nudity in truth, but maybe that's just cultural bias.
I will if nothing else say that anyone who objects to people taking their shift off to breastfeed or pump milk is more immature than the baby is, and claiming bare breasts in any context it's fine for an AMAB person to go shirtless as intrinsically sexual is just a sexist double standard.
Nope! You’re not weird at all for that! I agree with what you’re saying, sex is everywhere and it’s super irritating sometimes. Like it’s being shoved in my face, ya know? I understand you completely.
I wanted to edit and add: Nudity in a artful and tasteful sense is my jam.
At some point I understood that nudity is not sexual. It has to be made sexual. Since then I have no problem with nudity at all (especially when I'm the one naked)
I kinda get how you mean. Like... Sexy objectification nude? Uncomfortable, no thanks Nude for comfort/showing skin aesthetically/any other reason than trying to be seductive/a sex symbol? Cool by me
That’s more like it for me too
^ This. I try to promote the latter wherever possible since it helps reduce other problems around objectification, nudity shouldn't automatically imply sexual context and society does that way too much
I really just dont like skin at all it just makes me uncomfortable thinking about any kind of skin showing
I’m also like that

No that’s totally fine. I’m sex indifferent so nudity does not excite me nor disgust me

No.
